paper-writing

paper-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EvoClaw/amplify. It costs 41 tokens per session (11,847 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for writing a research paper after the project has passed its write-ready checkpoint, including structure, references, and review.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps organize a LaTeX paper, verify references, search for missing citations, draft sections, and revise the manuscript through review.
Why use it?
It provides a defined writing process so the paper is an argued account of the work rather than a collection of results or unsupported claims.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

paper-writing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Paper Writing (Phase 6)

Overview

A paper is not a results dump — it is an argument. This skill enforces structured, senior-level academic writing with verified references, modular LaTeX, and adversarial self-review. Every section is drafted, reviewed, and revised before the paper is assembled.

On-Demand Literature Search (Active Throughout Phase 6)

During paper writing — especially Related Work, Introduction, and Discussion — you will need additional references. Search immediately when needed. Do not write "studies have shown..." without a real citation. Add new papers to docs/02_literature/paper-list.md with tag [Found during Phase 6].

If search fails or returns insufficient results:

  1. Try alternative search terms (synonyms, broader/narrower scope, different field terminology)
  2. If still insufficient → note what was searched and what's missing in docs/02_literature/paper-list.md
  3. Ask the user: "I need a citation for [claim] but couldn't find a suitable reference. Can you suggest one?"
  4. Do NOT fabricate citations — use \textcolor{red}{[CITATION NEEDED]} as a placeholder and flag it in the writing review

Step 1 — Confirm Venue and Template

"Your confirmed target is [venue]. Is this still correct?"

After confirmation:

  1. Obtain the official LaTeX template for the venue
  2. Confirm page limit, format requirements, reference style (e.g., numbered vs. author-year)
  3. Record in research-anchor.yaml field venue_confirmed_phase6

Do not proceed until venue is locked.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
