How Basil and Claude co-write a scientific journal article, in linked section pairs drafted and loaded together: figures first (claim check, gallery of house-style prototypes, ranked proposals, variants, export, staging); then Results with Materials and Methods (Results as verified standalone docx drafts, the Word review and trim loop with tracked changes, Methods cut to the kept Results); then Discussion with the state of the art; then Introduction with Conclusion, fitted to what was kept; then the Abstract last, alone. Takes an optional section argument (figures, results, methods, discussion, introduction, state-of-the-art, conclusion, abstract) and loads only that section's guidance, its pair's guidance and the global rules; a task spanning several stages runs as a team of background teammates, one per section, that message each other and may spawn their own subagents. Use whenever work touches a manuscript, article or paper: writing, drafting, revising, trimming or restructuring a Results, Methods, Discussion, Introduction, related-work, Conclusion or Abstract section (restructure the methods to follow the Results); generating, choosing or redrawing a paper figure; writing or shortening captions; building a figure gallery or prototype set; reviewing a reviewed or trimmed .docx edited in Word; adding context or corrections to kept text; staging figures; checking terms across figure, caption and text; verifying citations, checking references against their sources or adding missing ones. Applies in any article's code repository or manuscript folder, even when 'skill' or 'article' is not said.
