What it does

Provides a prescriptive, four-phase academic writing workflow (Material Review & Outline → First Draft → Self-Review & Revision → Polish & Export). The skill guides the agent through stop points, versioned saves, citation checks, LaTeX/docx/PDF export paths, and mechanical quality checks to ensure drafts are review-ready.

When to use it

Use when a user requests help writing or preparing academic materials: papers, reports, theses, proposals, or manuscript submissions. It triggers on requests for drafting, citation formatting, LaTeX compilation, md→pdf/docx export, or systematic self-review.

What's included

Scripts: none embedded, but the skill links to export pipelines (md2pdf) and gives explicit workspace save/export patterns.
References: in-skill appendices cover citation styles, LaTeX compile commands, pandoc/md2pdf patterns.
Instructions: step-by-step four-phase protocol, per-section checklist, a 10-item self-review checklist, versioning conventions, and export workflows.

Compatible agents

Best with agents that support workspace/file operations, exec/pandoc commands, and library/search tools (e.g., Claude/Code-like or Copilot-style agents that can run scripts and manage files).

Audit Summary

A comprehensive four-phase academic writing SOP covering outline, drafting, self-review, and polish/export. No scripts included — purely instructional SKILL.md with detailed appendices for citation formatting, LaTeX, pandoc conversion, and language polishing. Well-structured with clear stop points and MUST/NEVER keywords. Requires a specific RC local tools ecosystem (workspace_save, library_search, etc.) which limits portability.

Watch Out

Requires RC local tools (workspace_save, library_search, etc.) — not portable to other agent frameworks
Bilingual English/Chinese content adds length but may confuse non-CJK users
References other skills (search-sop, plotting-sop, md2pdf-export) that may not be available

Notes

Pure instructional skill with no executable code. No security concerns whatsoever. Well-organized with progressive disclosure into appendices. The tool ecosystem dependency is the main practical limitation.
