README
clo-author-new-paper
A [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) skill that scaffolds a new empirical research project from the [clo-author](https://github.com/hugosantanna/clo-author) template in one command.
It clones the latest scaffold, strips the upstream meta files you don't need (README, CHANGELOG, docs site, personal state), and drops you into a clean paper folder with `.claude/`, `CLAUDE.md`, the LaTeX skeleton, and empty `quality_reports/` directories ready for the workflow to write into.
Install
Clone this repo as a skill directory inside your Claude Code skills folder:
git clone https://github.com/hugosantanna/clo-author-new-paper.git \
~/.claude/skills/new-paperClaude Code discovers skills in `~/.claude/skills/` on next launch. The skill will appear as `new-paper` (the folder name, not the repo name).
Requirements
bash,rsync,git(all standard on macOS/Linux)- Network access for the default GitHub clone mode, or a local checkout of
clo-authorfor--localmode.
Usage
From Claude Code (preferred)
Just say what you want in natural language. Examples that trigger the skill:
- "Start a new paper on minimum wage at
~/icloud/repos/min-wage-paper" - "Scaffold a clo-author project in
~/work/new-project" - "Install clo-author into this folder"
Claude will run the installer, then offer to fill in the `CLAUDE.md` placeholders (project name, institution, field) from context.
