Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill guides the creation of formal academic research papers that meet publication standards for IEEE and ACM conferences/journals. It ensures proper structure, formatting, academic writing style, and comprehensive coverage of research topics.
When asked to write a research paper: Clarify the topic and scope with the user: What is the main research question or contribution? What is the target audience (conference, journal, general academic)? What is the desired length (page count or word count)? Are there specific sections required? What formatting standard to use (IEEE or ACM)? Gather context if needed: Review any provided research materials, data, or references Understand the domain and technical background Identify key related work or existing research to reference
Follow this standard academic paper structure: 1. Title and Abstract - Concise title reflecting the main contribution - Abstract: 150-250 words summarizing purpose, methods, results, conclusions 2. Introduction - Motivation and problem statement - Research gap and significance - Main contributions (typically 3-5 bullet points) - Paper organization paragraph 3. Related Work / Background - Literature review of relevant research - Comparison with existing approaches - Positioning of current work 4. Methodology / Approach / System Design - Detailed description of proposed method/system - Architecture diagrams if applicable - Algorithms or procedures - Design decisions and rationale 5. Implementation (if applicable) - Technical details - Tools and technologies used - Challenges and solutions 6. Evaluation / Experiments / Results - Experimental setup - Datasets or test scenarios - Performance metrics - Results presentation (tables, graphs) - Analysis and interpretation 7. Discussion - Implications of results - Limitations and threats to validity - Lessons learned 8. Conclusion and Future Work - Summary of contributions - Impact and significance - Future research directions 9. References - Comprehensive bibliography in proper citation format
Apply these writing conventions from scholarly research: Tone and Voice: Formal, objective, and precise language Third-person perspective (avoid "I" or "we" unless describing specific contributions) Present tense for established facts, past tense for specific studies Clear, direct statements without unnecessary complexity Technical Precision: Define all acronyms on first use: "Context-Aware Systems (C-AS)" Use domain-specific terminology correctly and consistently Quantify claims with specific metrics or evidence Avoid vague terms like "very", "many", "significant" without data Argumentation: State claims clearly, then support with evidence Use logical progression: motivation โ problem โ solution โ validation Compare and contrast with related work explicitly Address limitations and counterarguments Section-Specific Guidelines: Abstract: First sentence: broad context and motivation Second/third: specific problem and gap Middle: approach and methodology End: key results and contributions Self-contained (readable without the full paper) Introduction: Start with real-world motivation or compelling problem Build from general to specific (inverted pyramid) End with clear contribution list and paper roadmap Use examples to illustrate the problem Related Work: Group related work by theme or approach Compare explicitly: "Unlike [X] which focuses on Y, our approach..." Identify gaps: "However, these approaches do not address..." Position your work clearly Results: Present data clearly in tables/figures Describe trends and patterns objectively Compare with baselines quantitatively Acknowledge unexpected or negative results
IEEE Format (default): Page size: A4 (210mm ร 297mm) Margins: Top 19mm, Bottom 43mm, Left/Right 14.32mm Two-column layout with 4.22mm column separation Font: Times New Roman throughout Title: 24pt bold Author names: 11pt Section headings: 10pt bold, numbered (1., 1.1, 1.1.1) Body text: 10pt Figure/Table captions: 8pt Line spacing: Single Paragraph: No indentation, 3pt spacing between paragraphs Figures: Centered, with captions below Tables: Centered, with captions above ACM Format (alternative): Standard ACM conference proceedings format Single-column abstract, two-column body Include CCS Concepts and Keywords sections after abstract Use ACM reference format for citations
In-text citations: Use numbered citations: "Recent work [1, 2] has shown..." Multiple citations in chronological order: [3, 7, 12] Reference specific sections: "As demonstrated in [5, Section 3]..." Reference formatting (IEEE style): [1] A. Author, B. Author, and C. Author, "Title of paper," in Proc. Conference Name, Year, pp. 123-456. [2] D. Author, "Title of journal article," Journal Name, vol. X, no. Y, pp. 123-456, Month Year. [3] E. Author, Book Title, Edition. City: Publisher, Year. Reference list requirements: Alphabetically ordered by first author's last name (or numbered by citation order) Include DOI or URL when available Minimum 15-20 references for a full paper Mix of recent (last 5 years) and foundational works
Step-by-step approach: Create outline Develop detailed section-by-section outline Define key points for each section Identify where figures/tables are needed Draft sections iteratively Start with methodology (core contribution) Then introduction (now that contribution is clear) Related work (to position the contribution) Results and evaluation Discussion and conclusion Abstract last (summary of complete paper) Add citations Reference related work throughout Support claims with evidence from literature Create comprehensive reference list Review and refine Check logical flow between sections Ensure consistency in terminology Verify all figures/tables are referenced in text Confirm abstract matches content Validate citation completeness
Example 1: User asks for a survey paper User: "Write a research paper surveying recent advances in context-aware systems" Response: 1. Clarify scope: "I'll create a survey paper on context-aware systems. A few questions: - Should I focus on specific aspects (e.g., requirements engineering, implementation techniques)? - What time period for 'recent' (last 5 years, 10 years)? - Target length: 10-15 pages, or 20-30 pages comprehensive survey? - IEEE or ACM format?" 2. After clarification, create outline showing: - Taxonomy of context-aware systems - Survey methodology - Classification scheme - Section-by-section coverage of different aspects - Trends and future directions 3. Draft paper following survey structure with extensive related work coverage Example 2: User asks for an experimental paper User: "Write a paper about my new algorithm for detecting hallucinations in vision-language models" Response: 1. Gather details about: - Algorithm approach and novelty - Experimental setup and datasets used - Results and metrics - Comparison baselines 2. Structure as experimental paper: - Introduction: motivation for hallucination detection - Related work: existing detection methods - Proposed method: detailed algorithm description - Experiments: datasets, metrics, setup - Results: quantitative comparison with baselines - Analysis: ablation studies, error analysis - Conclusion: contributions and future work 3. Emphasize reproducibility and empirical validation
