What it does
Using Research Writing is an agent skill from Norman-bury/research-writing-skill. Use when starting any research writing task - establishes workflow and routes to appropriate skills
Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: 科研写作助手 (Research Writing Assistant). The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Starting any research writing task - establishes workflow and routes to appropriate skills
Example prompts
- “/using-research-writing”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 用户明确指令（直接请求、CLAUDE.md、AGENTS.md 中的设置）— 最高优先级
- 科研写作技能 — 覆盖默认系统行为
- 默认系统提示 — 最低优先级
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f79595. 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 (its code samples are dot).
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
Using Research Writing loads about 916 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 186 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.

<SUBAGENT-STOP>
如果你是作为子代理被派发执行特定任务，跳过此技能。
</SUBAGENT-STOP><EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>
当用户提出任何与论文写作相关的任务时，你必须调用相应的技能。如果你认为有哪怕 1% 的可能性某个技能适用于当前任务，你必须调用该技能。
这不是建议，是强制要求。不允许跳过流程直接写作。不允许找任何借口。
</EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>
指令优先级
科研写作技能会覆盖默认系统提示行为，但用户指令始终优先：
- 用户明确指令（直接请求、CLAUDE.md、AGENTS.md 中的设置）— 最高优先级
- 科研写作技能 — 覆盖默认系统行为
- 默认系统提示 — 最低优先级
如果用户说"不需要讨论直接写"，你可以简化流程，但仍需记录到 plan/。
如何访问技能
在 Claude Code 中： 使用 Skill 工具。调用技能时，其内容会被加载并呈现给你 — 直接遵循即可。
在 Cursor 中： 技能通过会话启动 hook 自动加载。使用 Skill 工具调用其他技能。
在 Codex 中： 技能通过符号链接加载。参考 .codex/INSTALL.md。
在 OpenCode 中： 使用原生 skill 工具：use skill tool to load research-writing/brainstorming-research
核心规则
在任何响应或行动之前，先调用相关技能。 即使只有 1% 的可能性某个技能适用，你也应该调用它检查。
中型或整篇论文任务必须先调用 paper-orchestration。 中型任务包括：影响多个段落、一个以上小节、任一章节、文献论证链、实验/图表设计、或任何已出现质量失败的返工任务。paper-orchestration 负责阶段判断、任务包、子代理分发、两阶段 review 与 capability-use audit（能力使用审计）。

"调用 brainstorming-research" [shape=box];

}Red Flags（停止并检查）
这些想法意味着你在找借口 — 停下来：
| AI 的想法 | 正确做法 |
|---|---|
| "用户说得很清楚了，直接开始写" | 必须先完成 brainstorming-research |
| "这只是修改一小段" | 检查是否有 plan/，没有则先创建 |
| "先写一段看看效果" | 必须先确认论文类型和章节结构 |
| "用户很着急，跳过讨论" | 流程可以加速，但不能跳过关键确认 |
| "这是简单任务，不需要 plan" | 任何写作任务都需要 plan 记录 |
| "我知道怎么写论文" | 必须按用户选择的类型和结构写 |
| "先把内容写完再说格式" | 格式在 brainstorming 阶段确定 |
| "这章内容很简单，不用确认" | 每章写完都必须让用户确认 |
| "文献我可以补充一些" | 绝不编造文献，必须可追溯 |
| "我记得这个技能的内容" | 技能会更新，必须重新读取当前版本 |
技能路由
| 任务类型 | 调用技能 |
|---|---|
| 中型任务 / 整篇论文 / 多章节协作 / 质量返工 | paper-orchestration |
| 开始新论文 / 确定选题 / 第一次对话 | brainstorming-research |
| 引言 / 相关工作 / 背景综述 / 文献驱动段落 | evidence-driven-writing + literature-review |
| 写某一章节 | writing-chapters |
| 文献综述 | literature-review |
| 实验设计 / 结果章节 / mock 数据 / 表格方案 | experiment-results-planning |
| 画图 / 数据可视化 | figures-python |
| 流程图 / 架构图 | figures-diagram |
| 自审 / 检查 / 投稿准备 | peer-review |
| 统计分析 | statistical-analysis |
| LaTeX 输出 / 模板使用 | latex-output |
| 环境配置 / 安装问题 | environment-setup |
| 翻译 / 润色 / 去AI化 | prompts-collection |
技能优先级
当多个技能可能适用时，按以下顺序：
- 流程技能优先（brainstorming-research）— 决定如何开始任务
- 实现技能其次（writing-chapters、literature-review 等）— 指导具体执行
"帮我写论文" → 先 paper-orchestration，再 brainstorming-research，再 writing-chapters "写第三章" → 检查是否已完成 brainstorming，是则直接 writing-chapters
"优化整篇初稿" → 先 paper-orchestration，生成任务包和能力使用审计，再分派章节或图表任务
技能类型
严格型（brainstorming-research、writing-chapters）：必须严格遵循，不得跳过步骤。
灵活型（prompts-collection、figures-diagram）：可根据上下文调整。
技能本身会说明属于哪种类型。
用户指令
用户指令说的是"做什么"，不是"怎么做"。"写第一章"或"帮我润色"不代表跳过工作流。
任务收尾
中型及以上任务完成前必须写入 capability-use audit（能力使用审计），记录应使用的技能、实际使用的技能、已消费资料、未使用资料及原因、产物、验证命令和剩余风险。缺少审计时，不得声称任务完成。
