What problem does it solve? Academic work spans literature review, drafting, citation verification, peer review, and experiment planning, and doing each phase ad hoc leads to unverified citations, inconsistent structure, and lost context between stages. This Skill routes each request to the correct vendored workflow and enforces verification, integrity gates, and staged handoffs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Workflow Routing: Directs requests to five vendored workflows (deep-research, academic-paper, academic-paper-reviewer, academic-pipeline, experiment-agent) based on user intent, with a Socratic scoping override for vague paper topics. - Command Alias Emulation: Maps Claude-style aliases such as ars-plan, ars-abstract, ars-reviewer, and ars-full to the matching workflow mode and prompt recipe. - Integrity and Verification Discipline: Enforces citation verification against DOI or authoritative sources, cross-model review consent gates, human-read ledgers, and explicit uncertainty labeling. - Use Case: A researcher with only a broad topic says "I want to write a paper on X"; the Skill routes to deep-research Socratic mode to narrow the research question before any outline or drafting begins. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run ars-plan with your research question, or describe your paper topic and let the router select the appropriate workflow.
