papermill

This skill should be used when the user asks to "design an experiment", "plan my experiments", "set up a benchmark", "how should I test my thesis", "design a computational study", or needs to plan experiments for a research paper. Covers hypothesis formulation, variable identification, methodology selection, and success criteria definition. Produces a structured experiment plan with reproducibility in mind.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "outline my paper", "structure the paper", "design the paper sections", "create a paper outline", "organize my argument", or needs to design or refine paper structure. Generates a section-by-section outline with purpose, key arguments, estimated length, and narrative arc. Adapts to the paper type and venue conventions. Updates .papermill.md.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "polish my paper for submission", "pre-flight check", "is my paper ready to submit", "final check before submission", "prepare for submission", or needs final preparation before submitting a paper. Performs a systematic pre-flight check covering formatting, citations, figures, metadata, and build verification. Produces a checklist report with suggested fixes.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "survey related work", "find prior art", "literature review", "what papers are related to mine", "search for references", or needs to conduct a systematic literature survey. Reads thesis from .papermill.md, searches academic sources, classifies references, identifies gaps, generates BibTeX, and updates the state file. Can launch the surveyor agent for deep autonomous search.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "design a Monte Carlo simulation", "validate my theoretical result", "set up a simulation study", "how many replications do I need", "plan a coverage study", or needs to design simulations for verifying theoretical results. Covers sample size determination, convergence diagnostics, and result presentation. Specialized for statistical methodology papers.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "show paper status", "where am I on this paper", "what's the state of my paper", "papermill dashboard", or needs orientation on a paper project. Reads .papermill.md and presents a read-only dashboard showing stage, thesis, experiments, review history, venue, and suggested next actions.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "initialize a paper", "start a new paper project", "set up papermill", "onboard this repo", "refresh papermill", "update papermill state", or needs to create or update the .papermill.md state file. On new repos: discovers structure, infers format, gathers author info, creates state file. On existing repos: offers refresh mode that adds missing schema fields and new context without overwriting existing data.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "help me prove this theorem", "check my proof", "verify this proof is correct", "develop a proof for", "is this proof rigorous", or needs to develop, verify, or refine mathematical proofs. Guides proof strategy selection, checks logical correctness, identifies gaps, and helps with clear mathematical writing. Works with existing proof drafts or constructs from scratch.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "review my paper", "give me feedback on my draft", "editorial review", "is my paper ready to submit", "check my paper for issues", or needs structured editorial feedback on a paper draft. Evaluates argument, correctness, writing quality, and venue fit. Produces severity-ranked findings. Updates .papermill.md. Can launch the reviewer agent for deeper autonomous review.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "where should I submit this paper", "find a venue for my paper", "which journal fits my paper", "evaluate publication venues", "conference or journal for this work", or needs to identify and evaluate publication venues. Considers scope, impact factor, review timeline, acceptance rate, and fit. Produces a ranked shortlist with submission strategy guidance.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "define my thesis", "sharpen my research question", "what is my paper's main claim", "extract the thesis from my draft", "crystallize my contribution", or needs to refine the central claim and novelty of a research paper. Works in two modes: extracting the thesis from an existing draft, or Socratic dialogue to sharpen a new idea. Updates .papermill.md.
