Academic Paper Writing Pipeline
Imbad0202/academic-research-skills
Runs a 12-agent pipeline that plans, drafts, cites, reviews and formats academic papers, with modes for revision, rebuttals, abstracts and citation checks.
Rewrites and reviews ML, CV and NLP papers for clarity: one message per paragraph, reverse outlining, claim-evidence checks and a skeptical-reviewer pass.

What it does
This skill helps rewrite academic papers in the machine learning, computer vision and NLP style into drafts a reviewer can read quickly. It starts by clarifying the paper's story before any sentence edits, then rewrites paragraph by paragraph with one message each, stated in the first sentence, and runs reverse outlining after each section to confirm that topic sentences map to the thesis and evidence maps to topic sentences.
Per-section guides in a references folder cover the abstract, introduction, related work, method, experiments and conclusion, and are loaded only as needed, alongside annotated examples and templates. Visuals are treated as core content: a clean teaser and pipeline figure and minimal-ink tables. Before submission the agent checks that every major claim in the abstract and introduction is backed by experimental evidence, then reviews the paper adversarially, as a skeptical reviewer would, using a paper-review reference.
When your agent uses it
- Revising the abstract or introduction of a machine learning paper
- Checking whether each claim in a paper is supported by its experiments
- Judging whether a paragraph flows and has a single clear message
- Self-reviewing a paper before conference submission
Example prompts
- “Rewrite my introduction so each paragraph has one message and the contributions are clear.”
- “Check that the claims in my abstract match the experiments section.”
- “Review this draft as a skeptical reviewer would before I submit.”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Clarify the paper story before sentence-level edits.
- Use section-specific guidance in references/.
- Rewrite paragraph-by-paragraph with one message per paragraph.
- Run reverse outlining after writing each section.
- Check every major claim in Abstract/Introduction against experimental evidence.
- Run final-paper adversarial review with references/paper-review.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 77e7c2c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Research Paper Writing loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 550 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- research-paper-writing
- description
- Improve academic paper writing quality for ML/CV/NLP-style papers with clear section structure, paragraph flow, and reviewer-facing presentation. Use when drafting or revising Abstract, Introduction, Related Work, Method, Experiments, or Conclusion; polishing figures/tables; checking claim-support alignment; or performing self-review before submission.
Research Paper Writing
Overview
Use this skill to rewrite a research paper into a reviewer-friendly, high-clarity draft. Prioritize first-impression quality (figures/tables/layout), logical flow, and evidence-backed claims.
Core Workflow
- Clarify the paper story before sentence-level edits.
- Use section-specific guidance in
references/. - Rewrite paragraph-by-paragraph with one message per paragraph.
- Run reverse outlining after writing each section.
- Check every major claim in Abstract/Introduction against experimental evidence.
- Run final-paper adversarial review with
references/paper-review.md.
Global Principles
- Keep one paragraph for one message only.
- State the paragraph message in the first sentence.
- Make nouns self-contained; define new terms before reusing them.
- Maintain sentence-to-sentence flow (cause, contrast, consequence, or refinement).
- Iterate with adversarial self-review: read as a skeptical reviewer.
- Treat visual quality as core content, not decoration.
- Use a clean teaser and pipeline figure.
- Use readable, minimal-ink tables.
- Keep formatting consistent and tidy.
Paragraph Clarity Check (Important)
Use this quick test whenever the user asks whether a paragraph "flows" or is clear.
- Read as an external reader:
- Does this paragraph have one explicit message?
- Does the first sentence state what this paragraph will do?
- Are all key nouns/terms readable without hidden context?
- Does each sentence connect to the previous one with a clear relation (cause, contrast, consequence, refinement, example)?
- Run reverse outlining for the current section:
- Write down thesis/main claim.
- Write down each paragraph topic sentence.
- Write down the evidence/explanation points under each paragraph.
- Check mapping: topic sentence -> thesis, and evidence -> topic sentence.
- Revise or remove any paragraph that cannot be mapped cleanly.
- If flow is still weak, add temporary section headers and explicit transition phrases during revision, then remove unnecessary headers before finalizing.

Paper Review Core Points
Use references/paper-review.md for the full checklist and workflow.
- Add an end-of-draft self-review question list in five dimensions:
- contribution,
- writing clarity,
- experimental strength,
- evaluation completeness,
- method design soundness.
- Treat claim-evidence alignment as a hard constraint, especially for Abstract and Introduction.
- Perform adversarial writing: review as a skeptical reviewer and resolve every high-risk question.
- Revise until major rejection risks are explicitly addressed.
Execution Rules
- Build a mini-outline before drafting prose.
- For each subsection, explicitly include motivation, design, and technical advantage when applicable.
- Avoid writing style that looks like incremental patching of a naive baseline.
- Keep terminology stable across the full paper.
- If a claim cannot be supported by results, weaken or remove the claim.
- Before finalizing, append and answer a five-dimension self-review question list, then revise the paper based on unresolved items.
- Do not load all section references (Introduction/Abstract/Related Work/Method/Experiments/Conclusion) at once; load only the specific section guide needed for the current edit target.
Output Contract
When asked to rewrite or draft sections, return:
- A compact section outline (3-7 bullets).
- Revised paragraphs with explicit paragraph roles (opening/challenge/method/advantage/evidence/limitation).
- A short self-review checklist covering clarity, flow, terminology consistency, unsupported claims, and missing evidence.
- A claim-evidence map for each major claim in the revised text using
Claim: ... | Evidence: ... | Status: supported/needs evidence.
