Automated summary

This skill guides drafting and revision of the final-year research paper using only evidence found in the repository, experiment logs, and the supplied literature review.

Strengths

  • Prevents fabricated results, metrics, or references and forces a [NEED RESULT] placeholder when information is missing
  • Enforces the selected journal template, section structure, and a 300-word abstract cap
  • Cuts text reuse from the literature review by requiring proper paraphrasing and citation
  • Explicitly flags sentences that appear unsupported

Limitations

  • Only as good as the repository it reads — it needs real logs, result files, and literature documents to work
  • Does not verify references against external sources or run any plagiarism check
  • Does not handle journal-specific formatting rules beyond the chosen template
When to use it

Use it to draft, revise, or audit paper sections once the supporting evidence and results already exist in the repository.

When not to use it

Avoid it for exploratory or creative writing without data, or for generating bibliographic references that were not supplied.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score78/100

This skill contains only natural-language editorial instructions for drafting and revising an academic paper. It declares no tools, runs no commands, touches no network or credentials, and writes nothing outside the document being edited. Its explicit constraints (no fabricated results or references, no copying long passages, insert [NEED RESULT] placeholders) actively reduce risk rather than introduce it.

No concerns found

How this analysis is made

Examples

Draft the results section
Draft the Results section of my FYP paper using only the values in experiments/results/*.csv and the logs under runs/. Insert [NEED RESULT] wherever a number is missing instead of guessing.
Tighten the abstract
Rewrite my abstract to stay under 300 words, keep a formal academic tone, and flag any claim that isn't backed by something in this repository.
Reduce literature reuse
Check the Related Work section against the PDFs in literature/ and rewrite any passage that reuses the source wording too closely, keeping proper citations.

Scientific Paper Skill

Goal

Help draft and refine the final paper while preserving academic accuracy and compliance with project requirements.

Instructions

  • Always follow the selected journal template and section structure.
  • Never invent results, metrics, citations, experiments, or claims.
  • Only write from evidence found in:
    • the repository
    • experiment logs
    • provided literature review
    • explicitly supplied notes/results
  • Keep the abstract under 300 words.
  • Maintain a formal academic tone.
  • Flag any sentence that sounds unsupported.
  • Prefer concise and specific writing over generic wording.
  • Reduce text reuse from the literature review; paraphrase properly and cite sources.
  • Keep an "Author contributions" section at the end.
  • When drafting results, use actual values only.
  • When unsure, insert a clear placeholder like [NEED RESULT] instead of guessing.

Constraints

  • Do not fabricate references.
  • Do not copy long passages from source PDFs.
  • Do not claim experiments were run unless result files/logs support it.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a/download' --output '.skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

test -f '.skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/scientific-paper' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a' '.claude/skills/scientific-paper'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a'

openskills read 'scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/scientific-paper-writing-mrzxur8a/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
