What it does
Research Writing Skill is an agent skill from zLanqing/codex-claude-academic-skills. Chinese-first research paper writing, revision, polishing, section drafting, rebuttal, peer-review response, thesis prose improvement, and manuscript argument planning. Use when the user asks to write or revise论文正文, abstracts, introductions, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, related work, responses to reviewers, LaTeX/Overleaf text, or academic prose. Preserve formulas, English paper titles, terms, citations, and measured results.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 27 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/paper-writing/author_profile/compression_patterns.md` and `references/paper-writing/author_profile/editorial_principles.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering LaTeX, Skill authoring and Literature review. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: 本仓库包含三个面向学术科研人员的Skills，覆盖从文献阅读、论文写作到科学计算的完整研究工作流。office-academic-skill 负责论文阅读报告与学术 PPT/Word 文档生成；research-writing-skill 提供论文写作、润色与审稿回复辅助；scientific-toolkit-skill 整合 MATLAB/Python… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to write
- Responses to reviewers
- LaTeX/Overleaf text
Example prompts
- “/research-writing-skill”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Clarify target: journal/conference/thesis/course report, language, length, audience, and required format.
- Identify source material: paper notes, experiment results, figures, tables, MATLAB/Python outputs, references, advisor comments.
- Build an argument outline before full prose: problem, gap, method, evidence, contribution, limitation.
- Draft in coherent paragraphs, not empty slogan bullets.
- Add source or evidence labels for quantitative claims and literature claims.
- Revise for logic, specificity, terminology consistency, and citation accuracy.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ed6377. 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 Writing Skill loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~31k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 447 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 Writing Skill
Scope
Use this skill for research writing and revision when the output is prose, LaTeX, Markdown, or manuscript text. Use office-academic-skill instead when the main deliverable is Word/PPT. Use scientific-toolkit-skill when the task is primarily MATLAB, Python, plotting, statistics, simulation, or literature search.
Writing Principles
- Default to Chinese academic expression unless the user requests English.
- Preserve English titles, formulas, variables, methods, software names, citations, and reference entries.
- Do not invent data, DOI, journal details, experiment settings, results, or author claims.
- Separate
原文/已有数据,用户确认内容,根据上下文推断, and建议性扩展. - Prefer verifiable technical statements over generic claims.
- When revising, preserve the user's intended meaning and terminology unless a change is clearly needed.
Manuscript Workflow
For a new section or paper draft:
- Clarify target: journal/conference/thesis/course report, language, length, audience, and required format.
- Identify source material: paper notes, experiment results, figures, tables, MATLAB/Python outputs, references, advisor comments.
- Build an argument outline before full prose: problem, gap, method, evidence, contribution, limitation.
- Draft in coherent paragraphs, not empty slogan bullets.
- Add source or evidence labels for quantitative claims and literature claims.
- Revise for logic, specificity, terminology consistency, and citation accuracy.
For revision or polishing:
- Keep claims tied to evidence.
- Replace vague words such as "显著", "先进", "有效", "鲁棒" with measured conditions, comparison baselines, or remove them.
- Check whether each paragraph advances the section's purpose.
- Keep formulas with variable definitions, units, assumptions, and applicable conditions.
- For experimental sections, state dataset/sample, hardware/software, parameters, metrics, baselines, and uncertainty when available.

Section Guides
Use these default moves unless the user's school or journal template overrides them:
- Abstract: problem, method, experiment/data, key result, contribution.
- Introduction: background, unresolved gap, why it matters, proposed approach, contributions.
- Related work: organize by technical theme, compare assumptions and limitations, avoid simple paper-by-paper summaries.
- Methods: model assumptions, variables, workflow, algorithm, implementation details needed for reproduction.
- Experiments: data/source, platform/software, parameters, metrics, baseline, repeated trials, visualization plan.
- Results and discussion: claim first, evidence second, mechanism/explanation third, limitation last.
- Conclusion: answer the research question, summarize evidence, state limitations and next steps.
Bundled References
The folder references/paper-writing/ contains external writing checklists and section patterns adapted as references. Load only the relevant file when needed:
brainstorming_guide.mdfor turning an unclear idea into a paper plan.section_rhetorical_moves/for section structure.writing_checklists/for self-diagnosis.figure_templates/for figure planning.author_profile/for editorial heuristics.
These references come from an external systems/networking-oriented repository. Treat them as optional craft guidance, not binding rules, and adapt them to光电信息科学与工程, optics, optoelectronics, sensing, communication, signal processing, and MATLAB simulation work.
Final Checks
Before delivery, state:
- What was drafted or revised.
- Which source material was used.
- Which claims still need user-provided data or citation support.
- Any uncertainty about terminology, parameters, or references.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/research-writing-skill, .gemini/skills/research-writing-skill, .github/skills/research-writing-skill and .opencode/skills/research-writing-skill in your project.
What does Research Writing Skill need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Research Writing Skill is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Research Writing Skill access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
