System Paper Polisher — Development skill for Claude Code

Systems Paper Polisher

A Claude Code skill for polishing and improving computer systems conference papers targeting **OSDI, SOSP, ASPLOS, EuroSys, ATC, NSDI**.

Multi-agent iterative review and improvement with story-driven coherence checking. NOT for writing papers from scratch — for polishing existing drafts.

Features

• Story-driven coherence: Ensures the paper tells one coherent story — system purpose, design logic, and value are clear throughout
• Multi-agent review: 6 specialized agents with diverse reviewer personas (senior expert / adjacent-field researcher / busy PC member)
• Iterative polishing: Section-by-section → full-paper coherence → targeted iteration
• Content compression: Surgical compression to meet page limits
• Citation safety: Never generates citations from memory — provides search links for user verification
• Conference compliance: Checks formatting, anonymization, page limits against venue requirements
