What This Skill Does
An agent configured for scholarly writing tasks, including research papers, literature reviews, and thesis sections. It follows strict citation rules, uses only verifiable academic sources, and formats output in Markdown with numbered inline citations and a reference list.
It enforces citation integrity by refusing to fabricate references, linking each citation to a real, verifiable academic source rather than relying on the user to verify afterward.
When to use it
- Writing a literature review for a dissertation chapter
- Drafting a methodology section for a conference paper
- Structuring an introduction for a journal article submission
- Formatting citations from arXiv or PubMed into a reference list
- Revising academic prose to match formal scholarly tone
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Write a literature review on denoising diffusion probabilistic models
- 1Identifies the research topic and scopes relevant literature
- 2Searches preferred academic databases (arXiv, IEEE Xplore, NeurIPS proceedings) for real, citable papers
- 3Drafts review sections with numbered inline citations linking to verified URLs
- 4Builds a formatted reference list following the specified citation style
- 5Wraps output in <ama-doc> tags with consistent language matching the user's query
Markdown literature review with sequentially numbered citations, each linked to a real paper, and a complete reference list at the end
