What it does
Once installed, the agent acts as a thesis-writing helper. It first asks about your degree, thesis type, word count and existing material, then builds a structured outline, chapter drafts or a literature-review framework, delivered as a Word document. It is designed not to invent data, results or references: missing data is marked [TO ADD: data] and unsupported sentences are marked [CITATION NEEDED], so you can find and fill gaps yourself.
Great for
- Students who have a research question and sources but need help structuring a thesis
- Writers who want a chapter-by-chapter plan with word targets and writing points
- Students organising a literature review by theme or timeline using papers they already have
Skip it if
- Students who want the whole thesis written for them: the skill itself says it provides structure, drafts and revision only, and submitting AI-written work may breach academic integrity rules
- Anyone needing fabricated or unverified references: the skill refuses to generate citations outside the user's material, so it will not supply a bibliography
- Users needing live literature search: the skill contains no search or database tools and only suggests search keywords
Try asking
- “Refine this topic into a thesis outline I can write from”
- “Build a literature-review framework from these papers”
- “Draft the methods chapter framework for my survey study, with placeholders for the data I still need”
- “Assess whether my research question is specific enough and suggest narrowing options”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Provide your research question, reference list and any data tables up front so chapter drafts can cite your own sources by number or table name
- Check every [CITATION NEEDED] and [TO ADD: data] placeholder yourself, and verify any academic statement the agent suggests against the original sources
- Confirm the outline and formatting with your supervisor and your university's referencing style before writing
