Research Paper Writing

Research Paper Writing Skill for Claude

A Claude skill for drafting and reviewing ML/empirical research papers in LaTeX. Encodes a structural framework for writing papers that are coherent, well-organized, and clearly communicate their contributions.

Installation

Claude Code auto-loads skills from `~/.claude/skills//` (user-level) or `/.claude/skills//` (project-level). Install by cloning this repo into one of those locations.

Quick install (user-level, recommended)

git clone https://github.com/fengsxy/research-paper-writing.git ~/.claude/skills/research-paper-writing

Or use the helper script (handles existing installs):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fengsxy/research-paper-writing/master/install.sh | bash

Project-level install

Clone into a specific project's `.claude/skills/` so the skill is only active for that project:

git clone https://github.com/fengsxy/research-paper-writing.git .claude/skills/research-paper-writing

Updating

git -C ~/.claude/skills/research-paper-writing pull

Verifying

Open a new Claude Code session and ask "list my skills" — you should see `research-paper-writing` in the available skills list. The skill auto-activates when you ask Claude to draft, review, or critique an ML/research paper.

Packaged `.skill` file (alternative)

If your client supports importing packaged skills, download `research-paper-writing.skill` from the [latest release](../../releases) and import it through your client's skill installer.

What This Skill Does

This skill operates in three modes:

• Drafting: Write paper sections (abstract, introduction, related work, background, method, experiments, results, analysis, conclusion) with structured templates, pre-writing questions, and LaTeX output.
• Reviewing: Evaluate a draft against a comprehensive checklist covering AI writing patterns, cross-section coherence, claim-evidence
