academic-paper-composer

A structured framework for turning a detailed outline into a complete academic paper, including quality checks during writing. Academic papers are formal research documents prepared for study or publication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write a full paper from an optimized outline, review chapters as they are written, and prepare a submission-ready manuscript.
Why use it?
It helps maintain consistency and quality across chapters instead of treating the manuscript as one unstructured writing task.

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-composer 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/chapter_quality_check.py, scripts/final_evaluation.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

name: academic-paper-composer description: Systematic writing framework for philosophy and interdisciplinary academic papers from optimized outline to submission-ready manuscript. Use when users want to: (1) write a paper from a detailed outline, (2) ensure quality control during writing, (3) maintain consistency across chapters, (4) prepare a submission-ready manuscript, or (5) systematically execute a planned paper. Triggered by phrases like 'write the paper from this outline,' 'compose the full manuscript,' 'execute the outline,' or when users have completed strategic planning (academic-paper-strategist skill) and are ready to write. Takes optimized outline as input; outputs complete manuscript with iterative quality checks.

Academic Paper Composer

Overview

This skill provides a systematic framework for writing academic papers from optimized outline to submission-ready manuscript. It implements iterative quality control at both chapter-level and paper-level, ensuring consistent high quality throughout the writing process.

Input: Detailed, optimized paper outline (from academic-paper-strategist or equivalent)

Output: Complete, submission-ready manuscript with quality validation reports

Prerequisite: Use academic-paper-strategist skill first to create optimized outline (or provide equivalent detailed outline)


When to Use This Skill

Use academic-paper-composer when you need to:

Writing Stage:

  • Execute a detailed paper outline systematically
  • Write a complete academic paper chapter-by-chapter
  • Maintain quality control during writing process
  • Ensure consistency across all sections

Quality Assurance Stage:

  • Validate each chapter before proceeding
  • Check cross-chapter coherence
  • Perform final quality assessment
  • Verify submission readiness

Submission Preparation Stage:

  • Prepare manuscript for platform submission
  • Complete platform-specific checklists
  • Generate final submission package

Triggers:

  • "Write the paper from this outline"
  • "Compose the full manuscript"
  • "Execute the outline systematically"
  • "I have an outline, help me write the paper"
  • After completing academic-paper-strategist skill

Changes

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.
