SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python-dateutil, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning a rough research idea into a submission-ready paper outline requires platform research, exhaustive literature review, gap analysis, and originality assessment—work that is slow, unstructured, and easy to get wrong without a systematic process. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Platform Analysis: Recommends preprint platforms (PhilArchive, arXiv, PhilSci-Archive) and extracts writing standards from 8-10 quality-validated sample papers. - AI-Driven Literature Review: Runs three-round searches (direct, adjacent fields, classics) to build a 35-50 paper base, then identifies 3-5 evidence-backed research gaps and scores originality and impact. - Reviewer-Perspective Outline Optimization: Scores outlines across 7 dimensions (35-point rubric) and produces a detailed outline with word allocations down to third-level headings. - Use Case: A researcher with an idea about self-continuity during sleep gets a recommended platform, a validated gap analysis, an originality score, and an optimized outline ready for the academic-paper-composer skill. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan a paper on your research topic using the academic-paper-strategist skill, providing your core idea and field.

Frequently Asked Questions about academic-paper-strategist

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan an academic paper from a research idea?

Provide your core research idea and field, and the skill runs three phases: platform analysis with sample paper evaluation, AI-driven literature search with gap identification, and reviewer-perspective outline optimization. The output is a detailed outline with word allocations ready for writing.

How do I identify research gaps in philosophy literature?

The skill uses concept mapping, problem-solution analysis, and temporal analysis over a 35-50 paper literature base. Each gap must have at least 3 evidence citations, and the gap_analysis.py script validates definitions, evidence counts, and significance ratings.

Which preprint platform should I submit my philosophy paper to?

The skill evaluates PhilArchive, arXiv, PhilSci-Archive, PsyArXiv, and SocArXiv based on subject alignment, methodology fit, and acceptance criteria, then recommends one with reasoning. You confirm or override the recommendation at a decision point.

Does this skill write the full paper for me?

No, it produces only the strategic plan and optimized outline. Writing the full manuscript is handled by the companion academic-paper-composer skill, which consumes the outline this skill generates.

What are the limitations of automated originality assessment?

The assessment compares your idea against the top 15 similar papers and classifies innovation types, but it is calibrated for philosophy and interdisciplinary preprints, not empirical sciences or formal logic. It also requires web access via Exa or Tavily search tools, and final judgments remain with the user.
