Start with a strong stance.
A Claude Code plugin that scaffolds and co-authors thesis-shaped artifacts — dissertations, master's theses, long-form research articles, position essays — with a rendered PDF skeleton in roughly 30 minutes. For researchers and technical writers who want Claude in the loop without giving up their own voice.

ValidatedThe agentic-architect-vibe article — the toolchain was proven via the completed article itself.
The full writing loop, from the slash bar.
Six user-invocable commands cover scaffold through voice capture, tone lint, and final render.
Render to your target format.
Pre-runs token compile and citation checks, then calls Pandoc + xelatex. Reports the manifest on success, surfaces stderr with a diagnostic table on failure. --guard requires a clean tone lint first.
One-screen project state.
Read-only. Reports planning docs, body counts, claim coverage, citations health, voice state, and last render in 30 lines or fewer.
Set or revise your voice profile.
A short interview: timeless prose voices, contemporary field experts, and a synthesis ratio. Writes a VOICE SYNTHESIS block to CLAUDE.md so the drafting persona reads it. Idempotent.
Lint body content for self-review tone.
Advisory scan for inflationary language, self-praise framings, and defensive over-qualification. Reports file:line with one-line suggestions. Never auto-fixes.
Apply your voice to a draft.
Multi-pass rewrite that recasts a draft in your captured voice without changing claims or paragraph structure. Outputs a .smoothed.md plus a diff summary.
Discipline-audit any markdown.
The same lint with no project required — point it at any file or directory. Issues a one-line verdict; --public formats it as a quotable scorecard.
Wraps ThesisStudio, adds the Claude-native layer.
vibe-thesis doesn't fork ThesisStudio — it wraps it. ThesisStudio is the upstream source for the templates, the render pipeline (Pandoc + xelatex + biber), and four content sub-skills. vibe-thesis adds an orchestrator that bridges natural-language scaffold intent to the right path — offline-bundled or live from the template — then dispatches the bootstrap interview, voice synthesis, and toolchain verification in sequence.
The voice pipeline is the distinctive layer: /voice captures whose prose anchors your drafting, /smooth applies that profile while preserving claims and structure, and /guard enforces the Honest Limits pillar by catching the inflationary patterns LLM-assisted academic writing tends to accumulate.
