SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning scattered drafts, notes, data, and references into a polished, submission-ready academic paper requires coordinating literature search, citation mapping, gap analysis, writing, peer review, and revision — a process that is error-prone and hard to trace when done manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 8-Phase Coordinated Pipeline: Domain identification, material analysis, literature search, citation graph construction, research gap analysis, writing brief generation, delegated drafting/review, and bounded iterative revision (max 3 rounds). - Delegation to Specialized Skills: Drafting is delegated to academic-paper (12-agent writing pipeline) and review to academic-paper-reviewer (7-agent multi-perspective review with 0-100 scoring), avoiding duplicated effort. - Traceable, Evidence-Driven Workflow: Missing evidence is tagged in need/ files instead of fabricated, and every revision is archived in older/ with full version history. - Journal Recommendation: Final output includes journal recommendations scored on topic match, method preference, innovation tier, citation origin, and field conventions. - Use Case: A researcher with a rough draft, experimental data, and a BibTeX library invokes the agent to auto-detect the field, build a citation graph, identify research gaps, produce a manuscript, run simulated peer review, and receive formatted output (LaTeX/DOCX/PDF) with target journal suggestions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to write an academic paper from your uploaded drafts, notes, and references, and it will analyze the materials, draft the manuscript, run multi-reviewer peer review, and iterate until the score reaches 80 or the revision limit.

Frequently Asked Questions about paper-writing-agent

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an academic paper from scattered notes and drafts with AI?

Provide your drafts, notes, data, and references as input materials. The agent auto-detects your field, extracts claims and innovations, builds a citation graph, generates a writing brief, then delegates drafting to a 12-agent writing pipeline and review to a 7-agent reviewer.

What is the difference between paper-writing-agent and academic-paper?

paper-writing-agent is a coordination layer that performs material analysis, literature matching, and gap analysis before delegating actual drafting to academic-paper and review to academic-paper-reviewer. Use academic-paper directly only for quick, standalone writing tasks.

Does this skill work for disciplines outside computer science?

Yes. Phase 0 automatically identifies the discipline, subfield, and methodology type from your uploaded materials, so the same pipeline applies to engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities without hardcoded domain assumptions.

How many revision rounds does the paper review cycle allow?

The revision loop is bounded at a maximum of 3 external review rounds. Iteration also stops when the review score reaches 80, when two consecutive rounds improve by less than 5 points, or when the user terminates manually.

What happens when evidence for a claim is missing?

Missing evidence is never fabricated. The agent creates a tagged file in the need/ directory describing the gap, its urgency, the expected source, and suggested ways to obtain the data, while the draft uses conservative wording.

What dependencies does paper-writing-agent require?

It requires the academic-research-skills suite (v3.9.2) installed in the same parent directory, which provides deep-research, academic-paper, academic-paper-reviewer, and academic-pipeline. No external code packages are needed.
