AB academic-writing-refiner

Refine academic writing for computer science research papers targeting top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, AAAI, IJCAI, ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, CVPR, WWW, KDD, SIGIR, CIKM, and similar). Use this skill whenever a user asks to improve, polish, refine, edit, or proofread academic or research writing — including paper drafts, abstracts, introductions, related work sections, methodology descriptions, experiment write-ups, or conclusion sections. Also trigger when users paste LaTeX content and ask for writing help, mention "camera-ready", "rebuttal", "paper revision", or reference any academic venue or conference. This skill handles both full paper refinement and section-by-section editing.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 30Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 30Running it twice. 5 mutating operations with no state check
    • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
    • 70Failures and branches. 4 branches
    • 85Steps. 35 steps, 1 vague phrases
    • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
    • 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2281 tokens

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
