SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researchers struggle to align their academic manuscripts with the specific writing conventions of target journals, as generic static writing rules fail to account for journal-specific rhetorical patterns, contribution framing, and stylistic norms that vary across publications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Corpus-Grounded Style Analysis: Analyzes target-journal reference papers, optional field-top papers, and user/lab exemplars to extract recurring writing patterns and conventions.
  • Dynamic Skill Generation: Combines corpus-derived patterns with optional static base writing rules to create a reviewable, editable dynamic writing skill tailored to one manuscript and one writing destination.
  • Section-by-Section Revision: Guides structured, auditable revision of manuscript sections while preserving all technical content, equations, citations, and numerical claims verbatim.
  • Use Case: A researcher submitting to a specialized economics journal can use this skill to analyze recent papers from the journal, generate a custom writing skill for their empirical manuscript, and revise their introduction and discussion sections to match the journal's expected contribution framing and rhetorical style.

Quick Start

Use the journal-adapt skill to build a dynamic writing skill for my climate policy manuscript using the target journal papers in the 'jeem_corpus' folder and revise my introduction section.
