research-paper-writing

research-paper-writing is a skill for Codex from poco-ai/Agentero. It costs 68 tokens per session (990 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of research-paper-writing, MIT.

A guide for drafting and revising machine-learning, computer-vision, and natural-language-processing papers. It focuses on section structure, paragraph flow, figures, tables, and matching claims to evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or polishing an abstract, introduction, related work, method, experiments, conclusion, figures, or tables in an academic AI paper.
Why use it?
It helps make technical papers understandable to reviewers and keeps important claims tied to experimental support. It also catches unclear organization and visual presentation problems.

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

research-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 29d 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.

Research Paper Writing

Overview

Use this skill to rewrite a research paper into a reviewer-friendly, high-clarity draft. Prioritize first-impression quality (figures/tables/layout), logical flow, and evidence-backed claims.

Core Workflow

  1. Clarify the paper story before sentence-level edits.
  2. Use section-specific guidance in references/.
  3. Rewrite paragraph-by-paragraph with one message per paragraph.
  4. Run reverse outlining after writing each section.
  5. Check every major claim in Abstract/Introduction against experimental evidence.
  6. Run final-paper adversarial review with references/paper-review.md.

Global Principles

  1. Keep one paragraph for one message only.
  2. State the paragraph message in the first sentence.
  3. Make nouns self-contained; define new terms before reusing them.
  4. Maintain sentence-to-sentence flow (cause, contrast, consequence, or refinement).
  5. Iterate with adversarial self-review: read as a skeptical reviewer.
  6. Treat visual quality as core content, not decoration.
  7. Use a clean teaser and pipeline figure.
  8. Use readable, minimal-ink tables.
  9. Keep formatting consistent and tidy.

Paragraph Clarity Check (Important)

Use this quick test whenever the user asks whether a paragraph "flows" or is clear.

  1. Read as an external reader:
    • Does this paragraph have one explicit message?
    • Does the first sentence state what this paragraph will do?
    • Are all key nouns/terms readable without hidden context?
    • Does each sentence connect to the previous one with a clear relation (cause, contrast, consequence, refinement, example)?
  2. Run reverse outlining for the current section:
    • Write down thesis/main claim.
    • Write down each paragraph topic sentence.
    • Write down the evidence/explanation points under each paragraph.
    • Check mapping: topic sentence -> thesis, and evidence -> topic sentence.
    • Revise or remove any paragraph that cannot be mapped cleanly.
  3. If flow is still weak, add temporary section headers and explicit transition phrases during revision, then remove unnecessary headers before finalizing.
