writing-skills

In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.

• abstract-writing

  Draft, revise, or diagnose research-paper abstracts as compact arguments written for readers rather than section-by-section summaries. Use for an abstract-only request, a conference or journal abstract, an arXiv abstract, or an abstract that reads like a contribution inventory, paper announcement, or compressed table of contents.

• academic-voice

  Write or revise prose in the voice of a thoughtful, careful, precise academic who cares deeply about reader understanding and writes with personality and purpose. Use for research exposition, scholarly articles, textbook-style explanations, academic summaries, or drafts that should avoid corporate, LinkedIn, Reddit, and GitHub register.

• better-usage

  Diagnose and repair semantically mismatched word combinations while preserving the intended claim. Use when prose is grammatical but a verb does not literally fit its subject or object, a claim or section is given an action it cannot perform, an abstract relation is hidden by vague personification, an abstract process hides the actor or implies a review that the source does not establish, or repl…

• general-writing

  Edit drafts into clearer, sharper, more human prose while preserving the writer's meaning and personal voice, or audit prose for specific AI-slop patterns without rewriting it. Use for general writing, line editing, clarity and voice revisions, concision, directness, AI-sounding prose, or requests to detect whether writing reads like AI.

• grant-planning

  Ideate, structure, compare, and select grant narratives before application drafting. Use for grant strategy, story options, concept notes, project framing, scientific questions, literature and arXiv source review, combinations of applicants' prior work, team differentiation, feasibility arguments, scope decisions, outcomes, risks, or replanning an existing proposal before writing final applicatio…

• grant-writing

  Develop and revise grant proposals and fellowship applications by leading with the core problem, establishing team credibility through relevant achievements, and adapting sponsor fit for either for-profit company sponsors or nonprofit and philanthropic funders. Use for proposal narratives, specific aims, significance, innovation, approach, impact, broader impacts, milestones, sponsor questions, r…

• humanizer

  Remove signs of AI-generated writing from text. Use when editing or reviewing text to make it sound more natural and human-written. Based on Wikipedia's comprehensive "Signs of AI writing" guide. Detects and fixes patterns including: inflated symbolism, promotional language, superficial -ing analyses, vague attributions, em dash overuse, rule of three, AI vocabulary words, passive voice, negative…

• improve-human-writing-guide

  Create, revise, audit, compile, and publish human-readable writing guides while keeping them separate from agent-facing skills. Use for the bundled human writing guide, other LaTeX or PDF writing manuals, or requests to turn writing-skill knowledge into instructions for people. Includes corpus-based voice matching, ordered Humanizer and general-writing passes, rendered-PDF verification, README ma…

• literature-review

  Research, structure, draft, and verify source-grounded literature reviews, surveys, and related-work syntheses. Use for mapping a research area, comparing model or method lineages, reconstructing training recipes, building evidence tables, identifying disclosed and missing details, maintaining a living review, or writing a cited literature-review section or standalone LaTeX report.

• non-autoregressive-writing-pass

  Revisit a completed draft with global knowledge of its argument, then revise its title, subtitle, headings, paragraph heads, and paragraph-to-paragraph transitions. Use when display text no longer fits the finished work; when openings feel generic, abrupt, weak, or begin with a rejected alternative before reaching the point; when paragraphs are individually clear but do not build on one another;…

• paper-writing

  Plan, draft, revise, and structure technical research papers while preserving claims, notation, evidence, citations, and author voice. Use for abstracts, introductions, related work, methods, theory, experiments, results, discussions, conclusions, figures, appendices, LaTeX project organization, or whole-manuscript design.

• presentation-making

  Plan, create, revise, and review presentation decks with a clear narrative, accurate content, coherent visual system, editable source, and rendered-slide verification. Use for PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, Beamer, lecture decks, talks, pitches, speaker notes, slide outlines, or slide-level visual and writing review.

• prompt-improving

  Clarify and rewrite quoted prompts while preserving the user's intent and natural prompting style. Use when the user invokes this skill with a prompt in quotation marks, asks to improve or strengthen a prompt, or wants missing context identified before a rewritten prompt is produced.

• rebuttal-writing

  Draft and edit concise, reviewer-specific author responses in clear academic English. Use for paper rebuttals, response letters, revise-and-resubmit memos, reviewer-response matrices, evidence triage, claim calibration, bounded concessions, or non-defensive rewrites of verbose response prose.

• writing-cadence

  Diagnose and revise prose with staccato runs, uniform sentence lengths, repeated openings, mechanical clause structures, repeated contrast formulas, or abstract process framing that hides the actor and delays the real comparison. Use for requests about cadence, rhythm, meter, sentence variety, choppy prose, monotonous prose, or patterns such as "not X but Y" and "treats X as Y, not Z."

• writing

  Route writing and editing work to the smallest relevant focused skill. Use when a request involves prompts, general prose, AI-pattern removal, academic voice, research abstracts, cadence, semantic usage, human-readable writing guides, presentations, reviewer rebuttals, literature reviews, research papers, grant strategy, or grant proposals and no narrower writing skill has already been selected.
