What problem does it solve? Writing a publication-ready ML/AI research paper involves coordinating literature review, experiment design, statistical analysis, LaTeX drafting, citation verification, and venue-specific submission requirements. This Skill provides a structured, iterative pipeline that prevents common failure modes like hallucinated citations, unsupported claims, and desk rejections from missing checklists. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Research Lifecycle: Covers project setup, literature review, experiment design, execution monitoring, statistical analysis, drafting, self-review, and submission for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, and COLM. - Citation Verification Workflow: Programmatic citation retrieval via Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and arXiv APIs with a mandatory 5-step verification process to eliminate hallucinated references. - Experiment & Analysis Patterns: Incremental result saving, crash recovery, McNemar's test, bootstrapped confidence intervals, blind judge panels, and human evaluation design with inter-annotator agreement metrics. - Venue Templates & Checklists: Official LaTeX templates for six conferences plus complete submission checklists covering page limits, reproducibility statements, and ethics requirements. - Use Case: A researcher with experimental results asks the agent to draft an ICML submission; the Skill verifies all citations programmatically, generates booktabs tables with error bars, applies the icml2026 template, and runs a simulated reviewer pass before submission. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to start a research paper from your existing codebase and results, specifying the target venue such as ICML or NeurIPS.
