paper-polish-workflow

Run an interactive academic-paper polishing workflow with explicit checkpoints. Use when the user asks to polish step by step, confirm structure before rewriting, revise sentence logic incrementally, compare multiple expression options, or do a gradual abstract or section refinement instead of an immediate full rewrite.

Paper Polish Workflow

Overview

Use this skill as the orchestration layer for interactive paper polishing. It controls the order of analysis and confirmation, then routes actual heavy rewriting to paper-refine, paper-refine-special-en, or paper-refine-special-zh when needed.

Workflow

Confirm scope and medium:

Abstract
Paragraph
Subsection
Full section
English LaTeX
Chinese LaTeX
Word-style prose

Read references/staged-workflow.md.

Run the workflow in order:

Macro structure
Sentence or paragraph logic
Expression options
Coherence and repetition pass

Keep each checkpoint short and wait for the user's response before moving to the next stage when the user asked for an interactive process.

If the user asks for target-journal constraints, highlights, or title checks, also use paper-journal-style.

If the user asks for a direct full rewrite instead of staged interaction, route to the matching paper-refine* skill instead of staying in this workflow.

Routing Rules

Use paper-refine for light local polishing after logic is fixed.

Use paper-refine-special-en for heavy English rewriting after staged confirmation.

Use paper-refine-special-zh for heavy Chinese rewriting after staged confirmation.

Use paper-review if the user wants critique rather than rewriting.

Output Rules

Do not dump a full rewritten section before structure and logic are confirmed when the user asked for staged polishing.

Offer 2-4 expression options only when wording choice is the actual decision point.

Batch a few sentences together when that reduces back-and-forth without losing clarity.

Separate logic disagreements from wording disagreements.
