From the SKILL.md
# Academic Paper Writing Skill An adaptable research workflow for papers, reviews, proposals, theses, rebuttals, and research communication. It is a capability router with evidence gates, not a fixed sequence and not a single long prompt. ## Purpose Use this skill across the research lifecycle: - topic selection, research questions, hypotheses, and proposal scoping; - paper lookup, systematic search, screening, citation verification, and literature synthesis; - novelty/SOTA checks, research ROI, scope selection, and venue intelligence; - study design, experiment planning, statistics, data analysis, and reproducibility; - scientific figures, tables, schematics, manuscripts, polishing, and translation; - pre-submission review, revision planning, reviewer response, and rebuttal; - data/code availability, submission packaging, paper reading, and research presentations; - undergraduate thesis, capstone, proposal, midterm, final report, and defense workflows. ## Negative Triggers Do not use this skill as a direct ghostwriting shortcut when the user asks only for final prose without sources, data, result evidence, or requirement context. First route to evidence discovery, source verification, analysis planning, or a bounded draft with explicit placeholders.
