Guides pre-writing planning for academic papers with 4 structured steps: story design (task-challenge-insight-contribution-advantage), experiment planning (comparisons + ablations), figure design (pipeline + teaser), and 4-week timeline management. Includes counterintuitive planning tactics (write a mock rejection letter to identify weaknesses before writing, narrow before broad claims, design ablations first). Use when: user wants to plan a paper before writing, design story/contributions, plan experiments, create figure sketches, set a writing timeline, or write a pre-emptive rejection letter for planning purposes. Do NOT use for actual writing (use paper-writing), running experiments (use experiment-pipeline), self-reviewing a finished draft (use paper-review), or finding research problems (use research-ideation).
Guides structured 4-stage experiment execution with attempt budgets and gate conditions: Stage 1 initial implementation (reproduce baseline), Stage 2 hyperparameter tuning, Stage 3 proposed method validation, Stage 4 ablation study. Integrates with evo-memory (load prior strategies, trigger IVE/ESE) and experiment-craft (5-step diagnostic on failure). Use when: user has a planned experiment, needs to reproduce baselines, organize experiment workflow, or systematically validate a method. Do NOT use for debugging a specific experiment failure (use experiment-craft) or designing which experiments to run (use paper-planning).
Guides writing academic papers section by section using an 11-step workflow with LaTeX templates and counterintuitive writing tactics. Covers Abstract, Introduction, Method, Experiments, Related Work, Conclusion, and Supplementary. Use when: user asks to write or draft a paper section, needs LaTeX templates, wants to improve academic writing quality, optimize novelty framing, or mentions 'write introduction', 'draft method', 'paper writing'. Do NOT use for pre-submission review (use paper-review), experiment execution (use experiment-pipeline), or paper planning/story design (use paper-planning).
Guides research ideation through a 5-step goal-driven workflow: define long-term goal, build literature tree (novelty + challenge-insight), select a problem (well-established solution check), design a solution (cross-domain transfer + decomposition), validate and iterate. Also covers structured paper reading (3 depth levels). Use when: user wants to find a research direction, brainstorm ideas, build field vision, do a literature review, evaluate idea novelty, or read papers systematically. Do NOT use for comparing/ranking existing ideas (use idea-tournament) or planning a paper (use paper-planning).
Guides competitive idea generation and ranking using tree-structured search (up to N_I=21 candidates across technique/domain/formulation axes) and Elo tournaments (4 dimensions: novelty, feasibility, relevance, clarity). Produces a ranked direction summary and full research proposal. Use when: user has a research direction and needs concrete ranked ideas, wants to compare multiple approaches, or mentions 'rank ideas', 'compare approaches', 'which idea is best', 'research proposal'. Do NOT use for finding a research direction from scratch (use research-ideation) or planning the paper itself (use paper-planning).
Find and read academic papers: disambiguate queries, discover papers (search, citation traversal, recommendations, arXiv monitoring, trending, GitHub search), evaluate (TLDR, citations, code, SOTA), and read with structured analysis (3-level strategy). Use when: finding papers, reading a paper, related work, citation analysis, research trends, SOTA results, datasets. Do NOT use for generating literature survey reports (use research-survey), generating research ideas (use research-ideation), writing a paper's Related Work section (use paper-writing), comparing/ranking research ideas (use research-ideation), or planning paper structure (use paper-planning).
Help a researcher plan a paper submission to an academic conference, from target selection through submission day. Use this skill whenever the user is thinking about submitting to a conference (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ICLR, ACL, CHI, etc.), asks about submission timelines, wants to know if their work is ready, wants to do a pre-submission strategy review, or mentions a specific submission deadline. Trigger on phrases like "submit to NeurIPS", "paper deadline", "T-6 months", "submission strategy", "is my paper ready", "conference deadline", or whenever the user is choosing a target venue or building a submission timeline. Also trigger when the user is deciding between venues or considering whether to submit vs. continue developing the work.
