TDA Paper Dissemination Pack

Package stable research outputs for public consumption: zktheory.org pages, talks, posters, graphical abstracts, blog companions. Strictly downstream of review and verification — dissemination never runs ahead of the evidence.

Tier 3 Constraint

This skill may generate ideas, prototypes, plans, or communication artifacts. It may not create paper claims, result artifacts, canonical computations, or contract-bearing implementations unless routed through the relevant tier 1 or tier 2 skill first.

Do Not Use When

• The result is provisional (PROVISIONAL flags travel with results into every derived artifact — a poster of a provisional result is a provisional poster nobody will read as provisional).
• Literature sources are unverified.
• Paper claims are still under active review or revision.
• Figures lack regeneration scripts.
• The output would overstate significance — proportionality applies harder in public material, not softer.

Required Inputs

Stable paper draft or section · verified citations · regenerable figures · paper target · intended audience · claims allowed · claims prohibited. The allowed/prohibited claim lists come from the paper's claim tracing, not from memory.

Procedure

1. Confirm stability: which draft version, which result files, any PROVISIONAL flags outstanding?
2. Fix the audience and format (web page / talk / poster / abstract / explainer).
3. Build the claims budget: what this artifact may assert, at what strength, and what it must not touch (e.g. P01-B material never carries applied poverty interpretation).
4. Reuse paper figures via their regeneration scripts; public simplifications of figures are new figures and get the same provenance treatment.
5. Simplify language without shifting claim strength — "suggests" does not become "shows" on a poster.
6. Route the draft artifact through a prose/communication review pass before publication; anything on the public web is effectively permanent.

Self-Test Prompts

• A talk slide is drafted from a result still flagged PROVISIONAL pending the frozen-loadings reruns. → Expected: refuse or mark the slide provisional-and-internal; public material waits for the rerun.
• A website page rounds p = 0.003 to "conclusive evidence". → Expected: proportionality violation; restate at the statistic's strength.

Escalate Or Stop When

• Dissemination timing interacts with journal policy (preprint rules, embargoes, the P04-after-arXiv sequencing) — User decision.
