academic-paper

This Skill addresses the pain points of cumbersome workflows and fragmented tools in academic paper writing for the EECS field (ML, CV, NLP, and Systems). From outline design, literature review, draft writing, and figure creation to LaTeX compilation, citation management, peer review simulation, and revision of reviewer comments, the traditional process typically requires multiple software tools and repetitive manual operations, which is inefficient and error-prone. This plugin integrates 11 specialized agents into Claude Code, enabling researchers to complete the entire paper workflow within a single conversational interface, significantly reducing context switching and repetitive tasks.

Usage is straightforward: simply install the plugin in your Claude Code session and interact with the AI via a series of slash commands. For example, type /paper-new [venue] [subfield] to create a new paper project, which automatically generates the paper framework and table of contents. Then, use /paper-draft <section> to write or revise a specific section following the TEEL framework. When figures are needed, use /paper-figure <type> <description> to generate publication-ready figures. Finally, use /paper-compile to compile LaTeX and generate a PDF with one click. Additionally, /paper-review simulates peer review by five reviewers, and /paper-humanize intelligently removes AI writing traces to make the paper more natural.

It is ideal for EECS researchers, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty who need to write high-quality academic papers. Particularly for scholars with existing LaTeX experience who wish to improve writing efficiency, it enables rapid completion of drafts, figures, and citation management using natural language. Furthermore, translators can use this plugin to translate academic papers and leverage /paper-humanize to ensure the translated text maintains a natural academic style. For beginners, it provides writing frameworks and review simulations to help them understand paper structure and review standards.

Before use, ensure a local LaTeX distribution (TeX Live or MiKTeX) and Python 3 (with matplotlib and seaborn libraries) are installed to support compilation and plotting. Note that the plugin currently only supports LaTeX format output and is not suitable for Word or other document formats. Complex figures or custom templates may require manual adjustments. It is recommended to use /paper-new to specify the conference and subfield early in the project, as subsequent commands will automatically adapt to the template.
