What problem does it solve? Academic manuscripts, especially Chinese journal papers, often read as machine-generated due to templated transitions, empty emphasis phrases, translation-flavored syntax, and over-compressed sentences. This Skill enforces natural academic prose, removes AI-style writing patterns, and standardizes Markdown formatting so drafts are ready for submission. ## Core Features & Use Cases - De-AI-ification Rules: Bans mechanical transitions, hollow emphasis phrases, and subjective statements while preserving data scope, method conditions, and conclusion boundaries. - Markdown Formatting Standards: Enforces paragraph-based prose without decorative bolding, consistent blank lines between paragraphs, and restricted list usage in paper body text. - Three-Round Quality Checks: Provides structural, language, and layout checklists plus style check scripts (style_check.sh / style_check.ps1) for automated review. - Use Case: When revising a Chinese journal manuscript that reviewers flagged as sounding machine-translated, apply the natural word-order rules, restore lost experimental details, and run the style check script before submission. ## Quick Start Use the writing-core skill to revise my Chinese paper draft in draft.md, removing AI-style phrasing and checking it against the quality checklist.
