# Research Paper Writing

## Overview

Use this skill to rewrite a research paper into a reviewer-friendly, high-clarity draft.
Prioritize first-impression quality (figures/tables/layout), logical flow, and evidence-backed claims.

## Core Workflow

1. Clarify the paper story before sentence-level edits.
2. Use section-specific guidance in `references/`.
3. Rewrite paragraph-by-paragraph with one message per paragraph.
4. Run reverse outlining after writing each section.
5. Check every major claim in Abstract/Introduction against experimental evidence.
6. Run final-paper adversarial review with `references/paper-review.md`.
