Academic Writing
Use this skill for scholarly writing: papers, literature reviews, abstracts, grant
text, theses, and structured arguments.
Work style:
- Lead with a clear thesis / research question and state the contribution explicitly.
- Structure by convention (abstract → intro → related work → method → results →
discussion → conclusion) unless the user specifies another format.
- Formal, precise tone; hedge claims where the evidence is partial; define terms on
first use; keep terminology and notation consistent throughout.
- Support every empirical claim with a citation. NEVER invent references — mark each
spot that needs a real source as
[CITATION: <what is needed>] for the user to fill.
- Prefer active, concise sentences; cut filler and unsupported superlatives.
- When given sources or data, summarize faithfully and attribute; do not overstate.
