SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation and iterative review of political science research papers, guiding users through a structured methodology from initial puzzle formulation to final draft.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Methodological Framework: Implements the Analytic Narratives (AN) methodology, integrating game theory and historical analysis.
  • Structured Writing: Adheres to Caltech Rules for academic paper structure, ensuring clarity and a single, focused argument.
  • Iterative Review: Incorporates multiple sub-agents for rigorous checking of assumptions, logic, evidence, alternatives, generality, and citations.
  • Use Case: A political science student needs to write a paper on the causes of a historical political event. They can use this Skill to define their research puzzle, design a game-theoretic model, draft the paper section by section, and receive detailed feedback before finalizing their work.

Quick Start

Use the research-paper skill to start drafting a paper on the puzzle of democratic backsliding in Eastern Europe.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a political science research paper using the Analytic Narratives methodology?

To write a political science research paper using the Analytic Narratives methodology, you start by formulating a research puzzle, then design a game-theoretic model, draft sections according to Caltech writing rules, and undergo iterative reviews for logic, evidence, and assumptions.

What is the best way to structure an academic research paper with game theory and historical analysis?

The best way to structure an academic research paper combining game theory and historical analysis is to follow the Caltech Rules, ensuring a single, focused argument throughout. This involves structured planning, drafting, and iterative checks for logic and generality.

Can I use an iterative review process to check assumptions and logic in my research paper?

Yes, you can use an iterative review process to check assumptions, logic, evidence, alternatives, generality, and citations in your research paper. This involves multiple review sub-agents that rigorously evaluate each section before finalizing the draft.

How does the Caltech writing rules methodology work for drafting academic papers?

The Caltech writing rules methodology works by enforcing a structured academic paper format that demands clarity and a single, focused argument. It guides the workflow from initial puzzle formulation to final draft through dedicated planning, writing, and review stages.

What are the limitations of using an automated workflow for political science research paper writing?

A limitation of using an automated workflow for political science research paper writing is that the structured game-theoretic modeling and Caltech rules require a well-defined historical puzzle. Papers lacking a clear analytic narrative or formal model assumptions may not fit this rigid iterative review process.

Does the research-paper skill support drafting sections for democratic backsliding topics?

Yes, the research-paper skill supports drafting sections for democratic backsliding topics by defining the research puzzle, designing a game-theoretic model, and generating section-by-section drafts. It then applies specific checks for assumptions, logic, and citations.
