What it does
ML Paper Writing is an agent skill from nanoAgentTeam/research-claw. Use when writing or revising any ML/AI paper (conference or journal) to apply shared writing quality, citation verification, reviewer-aligned checks, and pre-submission gates.
Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/checklists.md`, `references/citation-workflow.md` and `references/reviewer-guidelines.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Scientific writing and Citation management. The repository describes itself as: A self-hosted AI assistant for academic research — manages your papers, searches literature, tracks deadlines, and answers you on the channels you already use. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Revising any ML/AI paper (conference
- Journal) to apply shared writing quality
- Citation verification
- Reviewer-aligned checks
Example prompts
- “/ml-paper-writing”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): read_file, write_file, str_replace, bash
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce3a4ac. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
read_filewrite_filestr_replacebash
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
ML Paper Writing loads about 708 tokens when it runs, and up to ~16k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 299 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.

[SKILL: ML PAPER COMMON WORKFLOW]
Activate when: user asks to write/revise/check any ML/AI paper, regardless of venue (conference or journal).
Purpose
This skill is the shared, venue-agnostic layer. Venue-specific skills should handle template/macros/page limits, while this skill handles writing quality, citation integrity, reviewer alignment, and submission checks.
Coverage Boundary
- This skill covers common writing/citation/review SOP for both conferences and journals.
- This skill does not provide journal-specific template setup (
.cls/.sty/.bst, submission system steps, journal-only formatting policies). - For journals, pair this skill with the journal's official author guide or a journal-specific venue skill.
Required Reference Files
Use these references from references/ as the source of truth:
writing-guide.md— paper narrative and section-level writing qualitycitation-workflow.md— verified citation workflow and hallucination preventionreviewer-guidelines.md— reviewer evaluation lenses and rebuttal-oriented checkschecklists.md— mandatory checklist gates before submission
Execution Workflow
Step 1: Clarify Scope
- Confirm paper type: conference or journal
- Confirm current stage: first draft / revision / camera-ready
- Confirm what is venue-specific vs common writing work
Step 2: Apply Writing Quality Workflow
- Use
writing-guide.mdto enforce:- clear contribution framing
- precise claims and evidence alignment
- section-level coherence (abstract, intro, method, results, limitations)
Step 3: Apply Citation Integrity Workflow
- Follow
citation-workflow.mdstrictly - Never fabricate citations from memory
- If citation cannot be verified, mark as explicit placeholder and report it
Step 4: Apply Reviewer Lens
- Use
reviewer-guidelines.mdto evaluate:- technical soundness
- novelty/significance
- clarity and reproducibility
- Add missing evidence/ablation/limitations where needed
Step 5: Run Submission Gates
- Use
checklists.mdand complete all applicable items - If any required item is missing, block "ready to submit" status and list the gaps
Handoff Rule to Venue Skills
- Venue skills own:
- template selection and setup (
.cls/.sty/.bst) - anonymization mode and page limits
- venue-specific required sections and package restrictions
- template selection and setup (
- This skill owns common writing/citation/review/checklist quality gates.
Use both layers together: ml-paper-writing + target venue skill.
