Research Writing Studio

The Writing Studio is a per-project, write-as-you-go editor. You draft your chapter, article, review, or section right inside the research project, and you cite your own claims and pull in your own sources without leaving the page.

Open it from any project at Research > Projects > [your project] > Writing Studio (URL: /research/projects/{id}/writing).

Documents

A document is one writing piece in your project. Each document carries:

• Title - what you are writing.
• Type - Thesis chapter, Journal article, Literature review, Section, or Other.
• Status - Draft, In review, Final, or Archived.

Create a document from the New Document button on the Writing Studio page. You can change the title, type, and status at any time from the editor header.

Writing as you go

A document is made of ordered sections. Each section has an optional heading and a body. Add a section, write into it, and press Save - there is no separate "compile" step. Add as many sections as your piece needs; reorder by adding them in the order you want to write.

Every save updates the document's "last updated" time so the document list keeps your most recent work at the top.

Cite a claim

The editor sidebar lists the claims you have built in this project's Claim Ledger. Pick a claim, pick the section to cite it into, and the studio inserts the claim text with a [Claim #N] marker so you can always trace the assertion back to the ledger. The Claim Ledger itself is never changed - the studio only reads from it.

Pull a source

The sidebar also lists the sources in this project's bibliography. Pick a source, pick the section, and the studio appends a formatted reference (authors, date, title, container, publisher) with a [Source #N] marker. Your bibliography is never changed - the studio only reads from it.

Versions

Press Save version to capture a full snapshot of the document (title plus every section) as Markdown. The version history lists every snapshot with its note and timestamp, and you can open any one to read it. Versions are a safety net: you can always see what the document looked like at an earlier point.

Markdown export

Export Markdown downloads the whole document as a .md file - the title as a top-level heading, each section heading as a sub-heading, and the bodies as prose. Use it to move your draft into any other tool.

Optional AI drafting

If AI is enabled on your install, each section has an AI draft action. It sends the section, your optional instruction, and a digest of the project's claims and sources to the AHG AI gateway and returns a draft. The draft is clearly labelled AI-assisted draft (review required before use) and is shown for your approval - it is never saved automatically. Review it, edit it, and only then accept it into the section. If AI is switched off, the studio works exactly the same in every other respect.

All AI calls route through the AHG AI gateway; the studio never talks to an inference node directly.
