Exemplar Paper Polish — Development skill for Claude Code

exemplar-paper-polish

[](LICENSE)

Top-venue (ICSE/ASE/FSE/ISSTA-level) LaTeX paper polish and review workflow with **fixed mandatory writing rules** and **per-paper exemplar specialization** (套写/仿写). Three mandatory rule sets always apply — format & citation prohibitions, Tao Xie's writing principles, and Derek Dreyer's information-flow rules — while per-paper **profiles** distilled from your own exemplar papers specialize the skill for each writing project.

This is a [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex) / Claude agent skill (`SKILL.md` + references + profiles + evals). Point your agent at a `.tex` manuscript, and it produces a rule-cited revision report — every suggested edit carries a before/after comparison, an explicit rule citation, and a Chinese rationale (中文理由). It never invents results, never alters reported numbers, and asks before any major restructuring.

Features

• Three fixed mandatory rule sets (never weakened by any profile):
  • references/format_rules.md — the "Gold Standard": no LaTeX markup in text flow, no em-dashes/semicolons/complex vocabulary, plus a strict three-level citation verification protocol (existence → relevance → quality).
  • references/writing_style.md — Tao Xie's writing principles: Abstract / Introduction golden standards (Stirewalt 5-paragraph rule, Stanford InfoLab 5-point structure), pitfalls to avoid (overclaiming, unjustified choices, laundry-list related work), evaluation and related-work norms, sanity checks, and a gap-supplement section distilled from writepapers.pdf.
  • references/dreyer_writing_rules.md — Derek Dreyer's information-flow rules (D1–D10) from his PLMW @ ICFP/SPLASH 2025 talk: Old→New sentence flow, one-paragraph-one-point, name-your-baby terminology, just-in-time definitions, CGI (Context→Gap→Innovation) with negative gaps, key-idea sections, and a sever
