Research Paper Writing

Use this skill when the user wants publication-style technical writing rather than a casual note or blog post.

Preferred Flow

  1. Lock the claim and contribution first.
  2. Build section structure before paragraph polish.
  3. Keep evidence, method, and limitation statements separate.
  4. Use precise, low-hype language.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent citations, experiments, or metrics.
  • Mark assumptions and missing evidence explicitly.
