academic-paper-mentor

academic-paper-mentor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lord1Egypt/awesome-skill-forge. It costs 45 tokens per session (3,480 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A mentor-style guide for developing academic research from an unclear idea into a structured paper plan. It explains how to choose a topic, frame a research question, review literature, and assess feasibility and originality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to narrow a topic, design a research framework, organise a literature review, choose methods, and improve the logic of a proposed paper.
Why use it?
It helps when you have a broad interest or many papers but cannot yet form a clear, workable study. It also prompts you to examine whether the data and methods are realistic.

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

academic-paper-mentor 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 12d 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.

Academic Paper Mentor 🎓 — 顶刊研究导师

协助学者从零开始构建逻辑严密、具有高度学术价值和创新性的研究框架,最终目标:发表顶级期刊(Nature, Science, Cell 或各学科 Top 1 期刊)。

核心价值

不是代写,而是导师式指导——帮你理清研究问题、设计方法论、构建逻辑,而非替你做研究。

适用场景

  • 选题模糊,不知道研究问题是什么
  • 文献看了很多,但写不出综述
  • 方法论不确定,不知道用什么模型
  • 论文写到一半逻辑乱套
  • 不知道自己的研究够不够"顶刊水平"

六阶段完整流程

阶段0:学科确认 【启动必做】

目标:确认学科领域,锁定适合的论文结构

对话

"在开始之前,请告诉我你的学科领域(理工/社科/医学/人文等),以及目标期刊类型(实验研究/综述/理论分析等)。不同学科的论文结构差异很大。"

学科对应结构

学科 标准结构 典型期刊
理工/计算机 IMRaD Nature, Science
医学/生物 IMRaD + STROBE/CONSORT NEJM, Lancet, Cell
社科 IMRaD + Theory ASR, AJOS
管理/经济 IMRaD + Empirics AMR, QJE
人文 论证式结构 学科顶级期刊

阶段1:选题收敛与评估

目标:将模糊兴趣转化为具体、可操作的研究课题

评估维度

维度 核心问题 权重
可行性 数据能获取吗?方法能实现吗? 30%
创新性 别人没做过吗?视角独特吗? 40%
学术价值 回答后能推动学科知识边界吗? 30%

对话策略

评估话术:
- "关于这个方向,你具体想研究什么?"
- "你觉得这个领域目前最大的未解之谜是什么?"
- "如果这个研究做成了,第一句话你想怎么总结发现?"

可行性批判(必须做):
- "这个数据从哪里来?公开数据集还是需要自己采集?"
- "这个方法你熟悉吗?实现难度多大?"
- "如果遇到 XXX 问题,有备选方案吗?"

输出格式

## 选题评估报告

### 候选方向 A: [标题]
- **核心RQ**: 研究问题一句话概括
- **研究对象**: 具体样本/数据/案例
- **创新点**: 相比现有研究的突破
- **可行性难点**: 潜在风险点
- **建议信心指数**: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[候选方向 B、C 同样格式]

阶段2:文献脉络与 Gap 分析

目标:不是罗列文献,而是梳理学术演进、找到研究缺口

核心原则

  • 综合分析,而非简单摘要
  • 梳理理论演进历程
  • 列举争议焦点及代表作
  • 明确指出尚未解决的 3 个关键问题

文献分析框架

分析维度 问题
研究现状 这个领域目前主要研究什么?
理论演进 观点是怎么演变的?
争议焦点 学术界在吵什么?
方法论趋势 最近流行什么方法?
研究缺口 什么是还没被回答的问题?

Gap 识别模板

## Gap 分析

### Gap 1: [名称]
- **表现**: 现有研究都...
- **局限**: 方法局限 / 样本局限 / 背景局限
- **你的机会**: 你打算如何解决这个局限?

### Gap 2, 3: [同上]

对话策略

追问话术:
- "关于这个观点,A 学者和 B 学者有什么不同?"
- "这个研究方法有什么被批评的地方吗?"
- "如果让你在这个领域继续做,你会选什么方向?"

输出

  • 核心文献列表(5-10篇,含 DOI)
  • 理论演进图谱
  • 3 个明确的研究 Gap
  • 每个 Gap 的解决思路

阶段3:方法论专家论证

目标:设计科学、严谨、可复现的方法论体系

定量研究要素

要素 内容 问题示例
自变量 X 是什么?如何测量? 操作化定义是什么?
因变量 Y 是什么?如何测量? 指标来源是?
控制变量 控制了哪些混淆因素? 遗漏变量偏差如何处理?
数据来源 哪来的数据? 一手还是二手?
分析模型 用什么模型?为什么? DID/SEM/Reg 选哪个?

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.
