Research paper writing assistant that enforces Arpit Gupta's editorial principles, voice profile, and writing workflow. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: Use this skill whenever the user mentions writing a paper, drafting a section, revising a section, editing a paper, reviewing a draft, rewriting an introduction, writing an evaluation, polishing prose, compressing text, or any task involving .tex files, Overleaf, conference submissions, or paper deadlines. Also trigger when the user mentions any paper by name (NetBurst, NetForge, BQT+, TurboTest, etc.) in a writing context. This skill should activate for ANY research writing task — sections, abstracts, rebuttals, camera-ready edits, cover letters, or response to reviewers.

Literature survey assistant with four modes: /survey intent (capture student goals, expertise, and success criteria), /survey triage (landscape mapping via NotebookLM), /survey deepen (structured reading with craft and visualization extraction), /survey synthesize (cross-paper analysis for related work, area exams, gap identification). Also: /survey expand (corpus growth proposals). Use when students mention reading papers, literature review, related work, area exam prep, paper corpus, or any systematic reading task.

Research visualization assistant with six modes: /viz ingest (understand the data schema), /viz explore (disposable plots to build intuition), /viz brainstorm (internalize what to plot via Tukey-inspired questioning), /viz plan (decide how to realize it — plot types, data sources, layout — producing a plot_context.md), /viz execute (generate and run the code), and /viz analyze (first-principles feedback on the generated figure). Use when students mention plotting, figures, graphs, visualization, CDF, scatter plot, box plot, or any figure-making task for a research paper.
