This Skill addresses issues in academic writing such as non-standard citation practices, disorganized paper structures, and difficulties with LaTeX typesetting. In practical research, scholars often need to handle tedious tasks like literature retrieval, citation management, and formatting simultaneously, which traditional tools struggle to integrate seamlessly.

Usage is straightforward: simply describe the paper type, topic, target journal, and citation format clearly. You can then initiate a six-stage workflow via natural language commands: Requirement Clarification → Research Planning → Literature Discovery → Structure Design → Paper Drafting → Quality Review. It automatically maintains a reference library (references.bib) and generates LaTeX documents compliant with IEEE/APA standards.

It is particularly suitable for academic researchers and university students who need to write conference papers, journal articles, literature reviews, dissertations, or research proposals. Especially for users already familiar with LaTeX but looking to enhance writing efficiency and avoid citation fabrication, it significantly reduces time spent on formatting adjustments and reference management.

It is recommended to use this tool consistently when starting new paper or review projects. Note that it primarily targets computer science and engineering fields, with APA format support for social sciences as a secondary option. Users are expected to have basic LaTeX knowledge, and final outputs require self-compilation and verification.

Key Features

Unlike general writing assistants (e.g., ChatGPT writing plugins), it enforces a strict 'no fabricated citations' rule—only verified, traceable literature confirmed by the user can be included. It also features built-in, complete IMRaD academic structure templates and dual-format support for IEEE and APA.

Limitations

Requires a LaTeX compilation environment (TeX Live or MiKTeX). Primarily optimized for IEEE format (CS/engineering), with APA format support as secondary. Does not perform automatic online database retrieval; users must provide search commands or keywords.
