What problem does it solve? Writing a credible research paper requires more than drafting prose: it demands a defensible question, an approved research brief, an explicit literature-search protocol, traceable evidence, and honest reproducibility disclosure. This Skill enforces that rigor so papers are not built on fabricated citations, overstated coverage, or collapsed method and results. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Gated research workflow: Feasibility, ethics, and an explicitly approved research brief come before any full literature work or drafting. - Evidence and decision ledger: Every source, dataset, quotation, citation, and analytical decision gets a stable ID, locator, and provenance record. - Venue-aware review and reproducibility audit: Adapts structure, citation style, and disclosures to verified venue requirements and audits validity threats, limitations, and reproduction steps. - Use Case: A graduate student with a rough topic uses the Skill to refine a research question, pass an ethics and feasibility gate, document a literature-search protocol, and produce a draft where every claim traces to cited literature or executed analysis. ## Quick Start Use the sd-paper skill to develop my research question on remote work productivity into an approved research brief and a venue-ready draft with a documented literature protocol.
