| description | Chinese-first research paper writing, revision, polishing, section drafting, rebuttal, peer-review response, thesis prose improvement, and manuscript argument planning. Use when the user asks to write or revise论文正文, abstracts, introductions, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, related work, responses to reviewers, LaTeX/Overleaf text, or academic prose. Preserve formulas, English paper titles, terms, citations, and measured results. |
Research Writing Skill
Scope
Use this skill for research writing and revision when the output is prose, LaTeX, Markdown, or manuscript text. Use office-academic-skill instead when the main deliverable is Word/PPT. Use scientific-toolkit-skill when the task is primarily MATLAB, Python, plotting, statistics, simulation, or literature search.
Writing Principles
- Default to Chinese academic expression unless the user requests English.
- Preserve English titles, formulas, variables, methods, software names, citations, and reference entries.
- Do not invent data, DOI, journal details, experiment settings, results, or author claims.
- Separate
原文/已有数据, 用户确认内容, 根据上下文推断, and 建议性扩展.
- Prefer verifiable technical statements over generic claims.
- When revising, preserve the user's intended meaning and terminology unless a change is clearly needed.
Manuscript Workflow
For a new section or paper draft:
- Clarify target: journal/conference/thesis/course report, language, length, audience, and required format.
- Identify source material: paper notes, experiment results, figures, tables, MATLAB/Python outputs, references, advisor comments.
- Build an argument outline before full prose: problem, gap, method, evidence, contribution, limitation.
- Draft in coherent paragraphs, not empty slogan bullets.
- Add source or evidence labels for quantitative claims and literature claims.
- Revise for logic, specificity, terminology consistency, and citation accuracy.
For revision or polishing:
- Keep claims tied to evidence.
- Replace vague words such as "显著", "先进", "有效", "鲁棒" with measured conditions, comparison baselines, or remove them.
- Check whether each paragraph advances the section's purpose.
- Keep formulas with variable definitions, units, assumptions, and applicable conditions.
- For experimental sections, state dataset/sample, hardware/software, parameters, metrics, baselines, and uncertainty when available.
Section Guides
Use these default moves unless the user's school or journal template overrides them:
- Abstract: problem, method, experiment/data, key result, contribution.
- Introduction: background, unresolved gap, why it matters, proposed approach, contributions.
- Related work: organize by technical theme, compare assumptions and limitations, avoid simple paper-by-paper summaries.
- Methods: model assumptions, variables, workflow, algorithm, implementation details needed for reproduction.
- Experiments: data/source, platform/software, parameters, metrics, baseline, repeated trials, visualization plan.
- Results and discussion: claim first, evidence second, mechanism/explanation third, limitation last.
- Conclusion: answer the research question, summarize evidence, state limitations and next steps.
Bundled References
The folder references/paper-writing/ contains external writing checklists and section patterns adapted as references. Load only the relevant file when needed:
brainstorming_guide.md for turning an unclear idea into a paper plan.section_rhetorical_moves/ for section structure.writing_checklists/ for self-diagnosis.figure_templates/ for figure planning.author_profile/ for editorial heuristics.
These references come from an external systems/networking-oriented repository. Treat them as optional craft guidance, not binding rules, and adapt them to光电信息科学与工程, optics, optoelectronics, sensing, communication, signal processing, and MATLAB simulation work.
Final Checks
Before delivery, state:
- What was drafted or revised.
- Which source material was used.
- Which claims still need user-provided data or citation support.
- Any uncertainty about terminology, parameters, or references.
