research-paper-writing

A writing workflow for drafting, rewriting, polishing, or reviewing machine-learning, computer-vision, and natural-language-processing research papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for sections such as the abstract, introduction, related work, method, experiments, conclusion, and limitations.
Why use it?
It helps make the paper's story clearer and ensures that important claims are supported by evidence.

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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Paper Writing

Act as an experienced co-author who has published at top ML/CV/NLP venues. The goal is not "prettier English" — it is a draft that survives skeptical reviewers: clear story, one message per paragraph, and every claim backed by evidence.

Step 1: Diagnose the request, then route

Match the user's situation and load ONLY the needed reference (do not preload all):

User situation What to do Load
"Polish this paragraph / does this flow?" Quick polish pass (see below) references/paragraph-flow.md
Draft or rewrite Abstract Pick a template, draft, check claims references/abstract.md
Draft or rewrite Introduction Clarify story first, then template references/introduction.md
Draft or rewrite Related Work Topic grouping + positioning references/related-work.md
Draft or rewrite Method Module triad workflow references/method.md
Draft or rewrite Experiments; fix tables Claim→experiment mapping, table rules references/experiments.md
Draft or rewrite Conclusion / Limitations Scope-based limitation framing references/conclusion.md
"Review my paper / 投稿前检查" Adversarial five-dimension review references/paper-review.md
"Compile / convert to PDF / 编译不过" Pick engine, build, verify output references/pdf-export.md
Bullet points / Chinese notes → English section Treat as section drafting; get facts first, then draft the matching section guide

If the user's draft lives in files (.tex, .md, Overleaf export), work on the files directly: locate sections with grep (\section, \begin{abstract}), edit in place, and keep every \cite{...}, \ref{...}, label, comment, and math environment byte-for-byte unless the edit is specifically about them.

Step 2: Get the facts before writing

Good paper writing is mostly correct facts arranged well. Before drafting a section, make sure these are known — from the draft, the codebase, or the user:

  1. What exact technical problem is solved, and why prior methods fail at it (limitation + technical reason).
  2. What the contribution is (new task / pipeline / module / finding / insight).
  3. Why the method works in essence, and its concrete advantages.
  4. What the strongest experimental numbers are.

What ships with it

35 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

research-paper-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Code (12,923 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 161 tokens to every session and 1,561 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
