Scientific Paper Writer Skill Claude

scientific-paper-writer

A Claude Skill for drafting, structuring, and polishing scientific and academic research papers to a publication-ready standard — across experimental sciences (IMRaD), engineering, and theoretical/mathematical fields (theorem–proof format).

This isn't a prompt that says "write formally." It's a structured skill covering:

• Correct structure per paper type — IMRaD for empirical work, theorem–proof for math/theoretical papers, plus review papers, short communications, and thesis chapters
• Citation integrity — a hard rule against fabricated citations, BibTeX hygiene, preprint labeling, and reproducibility statements
• Sentence-level style discipline — hedge-stacking, throat-clearing, inflated adjectives, voice/tense conventions, and the tells of unedited AI writing
• Figures, tables, and equations — self-contained captions, accessibility, numbering discipline
• Venue targeting — publisher formatting patterns, predatory-journal red flags, cover letters
• LaTeX tooling — two ready-to-compile starting templates, plus scripts that check citations, count words against limits, lint prose, and compile the manuscript

See [`SKILL.md`](./SKILL.md) for the full instruction set Claude follows.
