1# Research Paper Writing
2 
3## Overview
4 
5Use this skill to rewrite a research paper into a reviewer-friendly, high-clarity draft.
6Prioritize first-impression quality (figures/tables/layout), logical flow, and evidence-backed claims.

8## Core Workflow
9 
101. Clarify the paper story before sentence-level edits.
112. Use section-specific guidance in `references/`.
123. Rewrite paragraph-by-paragraph with one message per paragraph.
134. Run reverse outlining after writing each section.
145. Check every major claim in Abstract/Introduction against experimental evidence.
156. Run final-paper adversarial review with `references/paper-review.md`.

17## Global Principles
18 
191. Keep one paragraph for one message only.
202. State the paragraph message in the first sentence.
213. Make nouns self-contained; define new terms before reusing them.
224. Maintain sentence-to-sentence flow (cause, contrast, consequence, or refinement).
235. Iterate with adversarial self-review: read as a skeptical reviewer.
246. Treat visual quality as core content, not decoration.
257. Use a clean teaser and pipeline figure.
268. Use readable, minimal-ink tables.
279. Keep formatting consistent and tidy.

29## Paragraph Clarity Check (Important)

31Use this quick test whenever the user asks whether a paragraph "flows" or is clear.
32 
331. Read as an external reader:
34   - Does this paragraph have one explicit message?
35   - Does the first sentence state what this paragraph will do?
36   - Are all key nouns/terms readable without hidden context?
