Academic Writing

Use this skill for STEM academic writing and editing.

Style

• Maintain a formal, objective, concise, and logically rigorous tone.
• Preserve the scientific meaning, data, assumptions, and conclusions unless the user explicitly asks for revision.
• Prefer clear structure: research background, problem, method, result, discussion, limitation.
• Avoid colloquial phrasing, unsupported claims, and invented references.

Source Handling

• Prefer the user's local notes, drafts, and provided references.
• Keep local searches scoped to the folders or files named by the user.
• For web-fetched content, cite the source URL and do not invent bibliographic details.

Output

• For substantial writing, create or update a .md or .tex file rather than dumping a long article into chat.
• In chat, provide a short summary of the changes and the reasoning behind major structural choices.
