Discover & Collect

Turn a research question into an organized, reference-clean reading set.

Literature Search & Discovery

Find, scope, and gather the literature — multi-source search, citation graphs, and discovery agents that turn a topic into a reading list.

Multi-source discovery search

  • Suite arxiv-skills - by ultimatile · MIT · net.
    Pair of arXiv skills: convert a paper (LaTeX-source-first, PDF fallback) into implementation-ready Markdown with preserved math, plus a lightweight arXiv API DOI/title-search lookup. Conversion quality hinges on pandoc.
  • Suite cnki-skills - by cookjohn · No License · net.
    Drives CNKI (China's main academic database) from Claude Code via Chrome DevTools MCP: search, journal browse, citation analysis, PDF download, BibTeX/Zotero export. Go-to for Chinese-language lit work; needs browser-MCP setup and ships no license.
  • Suite gs-skills - by cookjohn · MIT · net.
    A genuinely useful Google Scholar toolkit for the CLI: keyword/advanced search, citation-chain tracking, full-text link resolution and one-step Zotero export. Relies on Chrome DevTools MCP and scrapes the DOM, so it can break when Scholar changes.
  • Suite scientific-skills - by yorkeccak · MIT · net.
    Natural-language literature search over 13 sources (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv/medRxiv, ChEMBL, DrugBank, Open Targets, trials, patents) via Valyu semantic search. Strong biomedical/drug-discovery coverage; depends on the Valyu API, not self-contained.
  • ai-skill-scholar - by Sébastien Dubois (dsebastien) · MIT · net.
    Three composable OpenAlex skills (venue search, citation-graph walk, review orchestrator) — stdlib-only, no pip, no key.
  • asta-skill - by agents365-ai · MIT.
    Instruction-pack skill that drives Ai2's Asta MCP (Semantic Scholar): keyword/ID/author search, citation traversal, batch lookup and ~500-word snippet retrieval, with safe defaults. Clean routing; needs the Asta MCP + free API key.
  • paper-search-pro - by O0000-code · Apache-2.0 · net.
    OpenAlex-led five-source search (PubMed, arXiv, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef) across four depth tiers; goes past a hit list to a saturation curve, a stop decision, and an interactive HTML report. No LLM key; one free OpenAlex key to start.
  • scholar-kit - by lottshin · MIT · net.
    Chinese-first literature toolkit: search CNKI/OpenAlex/Semantic Scholar/arXiv/NSSD, enrich via Crossref, resolve OA via Unpaywall, batch-download (incl. CNKI PDFs), export GB/T 7714/BibTeX/RIS/APA. Strong CNKI; scraping is fragile + ToS-sensitive.
  • semanticscholar-skill - by agents365-ai · MIT · net.
    Wraps the Semantic Scholar Graph API for paper search, citation-graph traversal, and author lookup across 200M+ papers, rate-limited for multi-agent use. A reliable discovery building block; intentionally narrow (S2 only), so pair it with others.

Systematic review & deep-research pipelines

  • Suite literature-review-skill - by yanzhanlin · MIT.
    End-to-end lit-review suite (search, acquire, deep-read, write, dissertation chapter) built on PRISMA-S, PICO/SPIDER and named review-methodology frameworks. Strong grounding and reproducible search logs; Chinese-first, modest in stars.
  • litreviewskill - by zsun79 · No License · net.
    End-to-end literature-review workflow: drafts keywords, builds an OpenAlex seed set, expands by backward/forward citations, screens by title/abstract until saturation, then ranks and reads up to 30 full texts into a concept matrix.
  • oneshot-academic-research-skill - by orhoncan · MIT.
    Iterative deep-literature-research skill: 5-15 search cycles gathering 12-50+ sources with gap identification, source-diversity tracking and APA7 footnotes, to Obsidian or PDF. Turkish/English auto-detect; depth depends on the underlying web tools.
  • scholar-deep-research - by agents365-ai · MIT · net.
    Script-driven 8-phase literature-review pipeline over 7 federated sources with enforced citation anchoring, dedup, transparent ranking, citation-chasing and a mandatory self-critique gate.

Full-text acquisition

  • literature-harvest - by zhongzhx · MIT · net.
    Bulk keyword-driven literature harvesting across PubMed, Europe PMC, Crossref and OpenAlex: builds a candidate table, downloads legally-accessible full-text PDFs with an HTML-to-PDF second pass, and dedups.
  • paper-fetch - by agents365-ai · MIT · net.
    Resolves a DOI (or batch) to a downloadable PDF via a 7-source fallback chain (Unpaywall, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PMC, bioRxiv, publisher, then Sci-Hub) with per-source reporting. Clean and zero-deps; the Sci-Hub fallback is a caveat.

Reference & Citation Management

Manage, format, and verify references — library integrations, citation styles, and the DOI/metadata checks that keep a bibliography honest.

Reference formatting & style

  • apa-referencing-skill - by Chuah Kee Man (keemanxp) · No License · net.
    The most complete APA-7th formatter: 28 source types, down to tweets and datasets. Ships no open-source license.
  • chinese-reference-formatter-skill - by zechang-xiong · MIT.
    Formats Chinese academic references to GB/T 7714 and completes BibTeX from Chinese/English titles. Fills a real gap for CN scholars that Western citation tools ignore. Narrow by design; bundles helper scripts and an agent.

BibTeX / metadata generation

  • citation-assistant - by zhangny301 · No License · net.
    Automated academic-citation skill over the Semantic Scholar API: resolve, verify, and format citations into a manuscript. Useful, focused citation helper; single-skill and tied to S2 coverage, and its license needs confirming.
  • make-bib - by milkclouds · No License · net.
    Human-in-the-loop BibTeX fetcher pulling every field from the authoritative publisher (ACL/PMLR/arXiv/NeurIPS, DBLP fallback) not the LLM, with provenance per entry and a stop-to-ask on ambiguous venues. Great for de-hallucinating .bib; no license.
  • wenxian - by njzjz · LGPL-3.0 · net.
    Generates BibTeX from a DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, or paper title by querying CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv, Semantic Scholar and ChemRxiv. Mature, tested, PyPI-published; the agent skill is a thin wrapper over a solid CLI. LGPL-3.0.

Read & Understand

Turn a pile of PDFs into something you have actually read and can question.

Reading, Summarization & Q&A

Read deeply and ask questions of papers — summarization, multi-document synthesis, and grounded question-answering over a corpus.

Deep reading & comprehension

  • Suite dailypaper-skills - by huangkiki · Apache-2.0 · net.
    A daily paper-reading pipeline built from Agent Skills: arXiv search, PDF parsing, key-point extraction, Zotero sync, and structured notes plus a daily digest. Cohesive and popular; Chinese-first docs, so non-CJK users lean on the code.
  • Suite scholar-skill - by eesjgong · MIT · net.
    Obsidian-centric academic-reading suite: deep-reads papers and links them into an evolving personal knowledge base with reflection prompts. A strong pick for Obsidian users; it reads and organizes rather than discovering papers.
  • benchmark-research-skill - by eternalwavee · MIT · net.
    Extracts benchmarks, datasets, metrics and baselines from a paper, or surveys what benchmarks fit a research direction; arXiv-source-first with Obsidian notes. Uses an unscoped Bash(*) allowlist — broad shell access.
  • Plugin claude-paper - by alaliqing · MIT · net hooks.
    Paper-study plugin that turns a PDF or arXiv link into a learning environment: parsed text, adaptive summaries/Q&A, runnable code demos and a KaTeX web viewer. Rich but heavy (Node/Nuxt/poppler deps); uses an unscoped Bash allowlist.
  • deeppapernote - by 917dhj · MIT · net.
    Deep-reads a single paper and produces high-quality, structured Obsidian-style research notes (claims, methods, takeaways) usable across Claude Code/Codex/Cursor. Great for building a notes vault; one-paper-at-a-time, not corpus-scale.
  • paper-analyst - by flyer-li · MIT.
    Analyzes a paper in five depth modes (quick to presentation-with-figures) with anti-hallucination source tagging and method extraction tuned to paper type. Good for structured reading/summaries; single-skill, no external data sources of its own.
  • paper-reader-heilmeier - by realzyzhang · MIT.
    Reads STEM papers through Heilmeier's Catechism, surfacing the core problem, approach, cost and impact for a fast big-picture take. A focused, opinionated comprehension aid; great for triaging papers, less so for deep line-by-line reading.
  • paper-reading-skill - by kingslayer-bot · MIT.
    Deep paper-reading skill with two modes: paragraph-level close reading with agentic Q&A, and a 20+-dimension analysis run by parallel agents, emitting Obsidian-ready notes. Strong for deconstructing single papers; not a search or citation tool.

Grounded Q&A & knowledge bases

  • Claude Deep Research Skill - by 199 Longevity (199-biotechnologies) · No License · net.
    The most engineering-heavy deep-research skill — verifies each claim against its source via CrossRef and persists citations across compaction. No license file.
  • Deep Research Skill - by Lan Zheng · MIT · net.
    Two-phase deep research that gates on your approval of the outline before any search runs — the human-in-the-loop answer to fire-and-forget agents.
  • Plugin llm-wiki - by nvk · MIT · net.
    LLM-compiled knowledge bases for agents: parallel multi-agent research, thesis-driven investigation, source ingestion, then a queryable wiki. Good for building a durable, cited knowledge base from many sources.
  • NotebookLM Research Skill - by Claude-World · MIT · net.
    Drives Google NotebookLM from Claude for cited answers and free artifacts (podcast, mind map, study guide) — an unofficial cookie-based client that can break.
  • notebooklm-skill - by pleaseprompto · MIT.
    Bridges Claude Code to Google NotebookLM so you get source-grounded, citation-backed answers drawn only from your uploaded documents. Excellent for grounded Q&A over a personal corpus; depends on a Google NotebookLM account and the notebooklm-mcp.

Paper translation

  • arxiv-paper-zh - by zeya-labs · MIT · net.
    Translates arXiv LaTeX papers into Chinese while preserving formatting (formulas, figures, citations), from an arXiv ID or local source. The format-preserving approach beats plain-text translation; scope is narrow (arXiv LaTeX, EN to zh).

Study & derivative artifacts

  • cheatsheet-generator-skill - by evan715823 · MIT · net.
    Turns course slides and PDFs into dense, exam-ready LaTeX cheatsheets. Narrow and student-focused (study/teaching rather than original research), but well-targeted and popular; good for condensing course material, not for literature work.
  • lecture-to-notes - by ysyecust · NOASSERTION.
    Turns YouTube/Bilibili lecture videos into structured LaTeX/PDF notes via transcript extraction, key-frame detection, and smart-cropped screenshots. Novel and useful for students; quality depends on transcript availability, and the license is murky.
  • paper2code - by prathamlearnstocode · MIT · net.
    arXiv ID in, citation-anchored Python implementation out — each module tagged to the paper section it implements, ambiguities flagged rather than guessed. Great for paper reproduction; not a general code generator.

PDF / OCR / Document Parsing

Turn PDFs, scans, and office docs into clean, LLM-ready structure — layout-aware parsing, tables, formulas, and figures preserved.

  • auto-paper-harvester - by jxtse · No License · net.
    Batch-downloads paper PDFs by DOI, cascading publisher TDM APIs (Wiley/Elsevier/Springer) to OA sources (Crossref/OpenAlex/Unpaywall) to an optional browser fallback on an institutional session. Good for bulk retrieval; ships a hardcoded credential.
  • DOCX (Anthropic document skill) - by Anthropic · Proprietary.
    Anthropic's Word skill whose academic edge is first-class tracked changes and comments — the best off-the-shelf option for revising a marked-up manuscript.
  • mineru-skill - by nebutra · MIT · net.
    Parses PDFs, Office docs and images into clean Markdown with LaTeX formulas, tables and OCR via MinerU. A solid OCR/extraction entry point for getting papers into editable text.
  • PDF (Anthropic document skill) - by Anthropic · Proprietary.
    Anthropic's own PDF skill — a task router over pypdf/pdfplumber/reportlab/qpdf for routine merge/split/extract/forms. The reliable default, not a high-accuracy OCR engine.
  • PPTX (Anthropic document skill) - by Anthropic · Proprietary.
    Anthropic's PowerPoint skill that builds decks and pulls text from any .pptx — an authoring tool for paper-to-talk, not layout-faithful slide OCR.
  • XLSX (Anthropic document skill) - by Anthropic · Proprietary.
    Anthropic's spreadsheet skill that, unusually, recalculates formulas rather than reading cached values — good for cleaning messy supplementary-data tables.

Analyze & Visualize

Do the analysis, then build the journal-grade figures.

Data Analysis & Statistics

Run and reason about analyses — statistics, reproducible pipelines, and tools that keep the numbers and the narrative in step.

Statistical modeling & test selection

  • Suite ai4ss-skills - by siyaozheng · GPL-3.0 · net.
    Agent skills for social-science research in R and Python that persist dataset/codebook context across sessions, with a benchmarks section. Good for reproducible quant social-science analysis; GPL-3.0 and stats-workflow-focused, not writing.
  • Suite social-data-analysis - by nealcaren · MIT · net.
    An 18-skill sociology methods pack covering quantitative and qualitative social-data analysis, authored by a computational sociologist. Scope and provenance are strong; component depth unverified (content not inspected).
  • claude-statistical-analysis-skill - by terryfyl · MIT · net.
    Statistical-consultant skill that diagnoses assumptions first, auto-selects methods (t-test to SEM/HLM/IRT/meta-analysis) and emits an APA-7 table, 300dpi figure and results paragraph. Assumption-first is its edge; advanced methods need the R Docker.
  • stata-ai-fusion - by haoyu-haoyu · MIT.
    Lets an agent drive a real Stata session (run commands, inspect data, extract estimation results, capture graphs) via an MCP server plus a Stata skill knowledge base. Fills the AI-Stata gap for econ/epi/biostat; requires a licensed Stata install.
  • Plugin stata-skill - by Dylan Moore · No License.
    The eval-backed reference that stops Claude writing subtly-wrong Stata — the silent traps that run clean but mislead.

Causal inference & econometrics

  • econometrics-skill - by xiaomihu1992 · MIT.
    Applied causal-inference skill: 17 estimators (OLS, PSM/IPW/AIPW, IV/2SLS, DiD/event-study, sharp/fuzzy RDD) with a method-selection decision tree, diagnostics and reporting templates. Solid for tabular econometrics; assumes clean panel data.

Domain computational & simulation pipelines

  • Suite claude-scientific-skills - by k-dense-ai · MIT.
    Sprawling computational-science suite (143 skills): bioinformatics pipelines (alignment, RNA-seq, variant calling, phylogenetics, protein structure, MD) plus a full stats stack (differential expression, pathway/GO, survival, meta-analysis, more).
  • Suite fiftyone-skills - by voxel51 · Apache-2.0 · net.
    Official FiftyOne skill suite: expert workflows for computer-vision dataset curation, evaluation and model analysis via AI assistants, with a companion MCP server. Strong for CV/ML dataset research; tied to the FiftyOne tool and CV-specific.

    23-skill computational-materials-science suite: numerical-stability analysis, finite-element meshing, DFT/MD setup, Monte-Carlo/phase-field modeling, spectral methods, time-integration, and uncertainty quantification. Strong methodological breadth.
  • Suite matlab-agentic-toolkit - by matlab · No License · net.
    Official MathWorks toolkit of 61 agent skills for MATLAB/Simulink engineering and scientific work: curve fitting, system identification, timeseries forecasting, signal detrending/filtering, parameter optimization, unit conversion, and data cleaning.
  • Suite scienceclaw - by lamm-mit · Apache-2.0 · net.
    Computational science-and-engineering skill suite (340+ skills) from MIT's LAMM lab: materials science, molecular dynamics, finite-element analysis, symbolic math and multiscale modeling.

Reproducible-analysis frameworks

  • Suite daaf - by daaf-contribution-community · LGPL-3.0 · net hooks.
    Instruction framework making Claude Code behave like a rigorous, reproducible quantitative researcher in any domain, with auditable steps, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop verification. Heavyweight and opinionated; core decisions stay with the user.

Figures & Visualization

Make publication-quality figures — charts, plots, and visual encodings built for journals, not dashboards.

Method & concept diagrams

  • Suite paper-craft-skills - by zsyggg · No License.
    From an arXiv link to publication-style method figures, AIGC slide decks, and deep-dive explainer articles in one command, no API keys. Strongest at turning paper internals into visuals; output style is opinionated.
  • engineering-figure-agent - by heyu-233 · MIT · net.
    Generates publication-style engineering and computer-science figures (diagram and plot modes) with bilingual EN/ZH labeling and editable output, tuned for Chinese academic papers. Narrow but does the figure job well; not a general plotting library.
  • gen-pseudocode-skill - by huiyuli-2000 · MIT.
    Reconstructs submit-ready algorithm2e LaTeX pseudocode from a paper's methodology, code, and notes, with a code-to-math map, per-venue style, complexity analysis, and a compile check. Strong for ML/SCI algorithm exhibits; works at the method level.
  • paperbanana-skill - by plutolei · MIT · net.
    Multi-agent pipeline (Retriever→Planner→Stylist) for academic diagrams, methodology figures, statistical plots and slide decks from text/data, plus a figure-vs-reference evaluator. Eight providers; mature (v4.x). Heavyweight for one-off diagrams.
  • research-paper-figure-skill-factory - by c-narcissus · MIT-0.
    A figure-skill factory: distills one class of paper figure (framework, mechanism, taxonomy, results) into a reusable diagram-generation skill with multi-candidate rounds. Process-heavy and meta; overkill for a single one-off figure.
  • skill-research-figure - by chingswy · No License.
    Draws professional academic figures for papers — LaTeX/TikZ diagrams and hand-drawn-style SVG. Tightly scoped to scholarly figure generation; needs a LICENSE added. Clean static scan; a solid pick for paper figures, especially TikZ.
  • thesis-figure-skill - by 0xe1337 · MIT.
    Turns paper text into publication-grade figures: LaTeX/TikZ (pixel-precise, embeddable) or draw.io XML (route maps, slides). Targets high density + one-pass compile; bilingual. Best for structured CS/ML schematics, not data-driven statistical plots.

Data-driven statistical plots

  • Plugin nice-figures - by mapika · MIT.
    Matplotlib figures in a soft-pastel research-blog register: smoothed trends with confidence bands, rounded bars, log-log scaling-law scatter, white background, plus 16 recipes. Great for ML/alignment write-ups; one opinionated aesthetic.
  • stata-graphics-skill - by youngfujun · No License.
    Knowledge base for AI-assisted Stata graphing aimed at economics empirical research. Narrow but well-targeted for econ publication figures; the main gap is a missing LICENSE. A good companion for Stata-based analysis workflows.

Figure aesthetics & style systems

  • AgentFigureGallery - by Dsadd4 · MIT · net.
    A taste layer, not a plotting library — curated references so the agent stops guessing what a Nature figure looks like.
  • paper-style - by freemty · MIT.
    Five low-saturation color themes giving a paper one coherent identity across LaTeX text and matplotlib figures (documentclass to savefig), with a preview PDF. Great for consistent palettes; purely a styling layer, not a plotting or layout tool.
  • tufte-data-viz - by caylent · MIT.
    Applies Tufte's data-viz principles (high data-ink ratio, no chartjunk, no pie charts) across six charting libraries plus accessibility rules. Excellent for clean, honest charts; deliberately opinionated, so it overrides styling choices.

Write & Refine

Draft the scholarly prose, win the funding, and strip the machine tells.

Academic Writing & Drafting

Draft scholarly prose — sections, structure, and argument scaffolding for papers, theses, and reviews.

Manuscript drafting pipelines

  • Suite academic-skills - by chtc66 · MIT · net.
    Everyday-researcher workflow suite (AI/NLP-leaning, Chinese-first): paper deep-notes, survey writing, arXiv monitoring, review/rebuttal drafting, experiment-log summaries, benchmark extraction, research-gap finding and weekly lab updates.
  • Suite academic-writing - by alessandrocaforio · MIT.
    Multi-agent writing system that decomposes an empirical thesis into per-section skills (intro, methods, results, discussion, abstract) plus literature review, analysis, and submission. The section-level structure is its strength; nominally econ.
  • Suite academic-writing-skills - by wenyuchiou · MIT.
    Field-agnostic paper-writing workflow: findings-first drafting, de-AI/overclaim detection, claim-to-evidence checks, reviewer-response tables, and pre-submission checklists, with per-paper journal overrides. Ships evals — rare and welcome.
  • Suite enhanced-mathmodel-codex-skills - by xzwwwwww · No License · net.
    Full-pipeline skills for mathematical-modeling competitions, automating the workflow through to a complete modeling paper (Codex-oriented). Niche but genuinely scholarly and specific; ships no license.
  • Suite nature-paper-skills - by boom5426 · MIT · net.
    A journal-first manuscript pipeline for Nature-style submissions — citation-integrity, claim/evidence discipline, submission preflight and rebuttal. Opinionated and narrow by design; strong for high-end bio/medical writing.
  • Suite nature-writing-skill - by syntaxsmith · No License.
    Nature-family (NMI/NC/NCS/Nature) paper-writing craft for Chinese AI/ML researchers, built from sentence-level extraction of 44 open-access papers with a grep-traceable corpus and a sister figure skill. Niche to Nature-style AI methods papers.
  • Suite paperorchestra - by ar9av · NOASSERTION · net.
    Portable skill pack implementing Google's PaperOrchestra: turns agent experiment logs into idea+log inputs, then outline→writing→refinement→plotting with autoraters to a LaTeX paper. Best when experiments already exist, not literature-first.
  • Suite paperspine - by wubing2023 · MIT · net.
    Ten-skill academic-writing suite covering discovery, literature synthesis, argument-building, manuscript revision, citations, figures, reviewer responses, and submission. Strong end-to-end coverage, bilingual EN/zh; orchestration-heavy.
  • paper-orchestra-for-claude-code - by sunjongos · MIT · net.
    An ambitious 12-agent Korean+English SCI-paper pipeline, but its SKILL.md leans on grand "surpasses everything" marketing — read warily.
  • paper-writing-skill - by snl-ucsb · MIT.
    Encodes one systems lab's battle-tested paper-writing methodology (brainstorm to compress) with rhetorical-move templates and a figure-synthesis guide. Strongest for CS/systems venues; opinionated voice may not transfer to every field.
  • trivium - by MetaQiu · MIT · net.
    Drafts each paragraph by Claude/Codex/Gemini consensus, betting three-model-approved text also satisfies LLM reviewers — needs all three CLIs.

LaTeX & typesetting-integrated writing

  • Suite ageaf - by onireimu · MIT · net.
    Brings AI agents (Claude, OpenAI and others) directly into Overleaf for LaTeX paper writing and editing. A focused, genuinely academic integration for the dominant collaborative LaTeX editor.
  • Suite awesome-latex-skills - by calix-l · MIT · net.
    LaTeX paper-writing suite: fix compile errors, polish academic prose, format for venue templates, read papers, and recover lost source. Tight and practical for manuscript work; prompt-pack style, so depth depends on the agent.
  • Suite latex-paper-skills - by yunshenwuchuxun · MIT · net.
    Modular LaTeX paper-writing bundle for ML/AI: topic-to-compiled-PDF with verified BibTeX citations, gated workflows, a results-backfill step and a prose 'rhythm refiner', plus multi-agent (Claude+Gemini) collaboration.
  • Plugin academic-writing-agents - by andrehuang · MIT.
    Claude Code plugin running 12 specialist agents (logic, technical, prose, bibliography, LaTeX reviewers) in parallel over a draft, diagnosing then fixing with human approval. Strong for structured manuscript review; not a from-scratch writer.
  • stats-paper-writing-agent-skills - by fuhaoda · No License.
    A statistics-writing LaTeX workbench: drafts abstracts/keywords, audits a manuscript for structure, references, notation and reproducibility cues, writes referee reports and point-by-point response letters, and ships check_tex.py/check_bib.py.

Thesis & degree-work authoring

  • chinese-thesis-workbench-skill - by zyhsechub · MIT.
    Turns a student project (source code, database, screenshots, references) into a traceable, resumable, reviewable undergraduate thesis following a university template and sample-paper style. Great for CN capstones; not a general academic-writing tool.
  • humanities-thesis-skill - by ganzhi-black · MIT · net.
    A Chinese-first humanities/social-science thesis copilot that stresses thinking the argument through and auditing every paragraph over generating text. Strong anti-fabrication discipline.
  • physics-lab-report-skill - by ydh0411 · MIT.

    A Chinese-academic thesis-writing skill for undergraduate and graduate work across engineering, psychology, education and management, enforcing GB/T 7714-2015 reference formatting with built-in data-analysis and citation management.

Literature-review writing

  • academic-paper-skills - by Li Shixiong (lishix520) · MIT.
    A rare humanities-focused drafting pipeline for philosophy and preprint venues, with citation-backed gap analysis — now unmaintained.
  • lit-review - by bethww · MIT.
    Guides a literature review as an argument across seven phases (question, method, synthesis) instead of summarizing sources. Bilingual EN/zh; explicitly will not write the paper for you.
  • litllm - by litllm · Apache-2.0 · net.
    RAG-based literature-review assistant (TMLR 2025) that drafts structured related-work sections from a paper set, as a web app or Claude Code skill. Strong for related-work synthesis; narrow (related-work, not full-paper) and demo-hosted.

Prose refinement & discipline-specific style

  • Suite claude-code-my-workflow - by Pedro H. C. Sant'Anna (pedrohcgs) · MIT · net hooks bypass.
    An econometrician's fork-ready, 36-command Claude Code setup from a PhD course — but ships with bypass-permissions on by default.
  • Suite paper-discipline-skills - by lambenthan · MIT.
    12 zh research-writing 'discipline' skills from a real book of mistakes: backup-before-Word, terminology protection, pilot-before-batch, logical-consistency, parallel-audit. Each has a rationalization table to stop skipping. Guardrails, not content.
  • econ-writing-skill - by Lu Han (hanlulong) · MIT.
    The best-sourced discipline writing skill here, distilling 50+ named economics guides into enforceable rules.
  • english-writing - by yzy1996 · No License.
    Academic-English polishing skill backed by a curated per-section phrasebook (abstract, intro, related work, method, experiment, rebuttal) of good usages mined from real papers. Great phrasing help for non-native CS/ML writers; no LICENSE file.
  • journal-adapt-writing-skill - by wantongc · MIT.
    Goes beyond generic style rules by building a corpus-grounded 'dynamic skill' from a target journal's own papers, then revising section by section. The differentiator is journal adaptation; needs you to supply the reference corpus.
  • research-paper-writing - by Xudong Cai (Master-cai) · MIT.
    Packages Peng Sida's well-known research-writing notes into paragraph-level rewriting discipline for ML/CV/NLP papers.
  • research-writing-skill - by alfonso0512 · MIT.
    Bilingual (zh/en) academic-writing prompt pack: 30 templates spanning lit review, outlining, drafting, polishing, de-AI, reviewer rebuttal and grant text. Broad and popular, but template-based rather than tool-backed; light on verification.
  • writing-in-the-sciences-skill - by jingkarqi · MIT.
    Scientific-writing skill built on Stanford's Writing in the Sciences (Sainani): a structured draft/revise workflow for clear, evidence-backed prose. Strong principled grounding; a Codex-native single skill, English-pedagogy-centric.

Writing Quality & De-AI

Tighten and de-slop the draft — clarity, voice, and removing the tells that mark text as machine-generated.

De-AI & humanizing

  • Suite science_narrative_skills - by kangning-huang · No License · net.
    Evaluates scientific writing through the And-But-Therefore (ABT) narrative framework (Schimel's 'Writing Science'), diagnosing whether a paper's argument forms a coherent story rather than a list of facts.
  • avoid-ai-writing - by Conor Bronsdon (conorbronsdon) · MIT.
    The most intellectually honest de-AI skill — it cites false-positive research and insists its flags are "signals, not proof".
  • humanize-academic-writing - by momo2young · MIT.
    De-AI skill for social-science prose: flags AI markers (repetitive structure, abstract language, mechanical flow) and rewrites in an authentic academic voice, with detector/analyzer scripts. Aimed at non-native English researchers.
  • humanizer - by blader · MIT · net.
    The de-facto standard for stripping AI tells from prose (em-dash overuse, rule-of-three, filler, negative parallelism). Single-purpose and scoped to read/write tools; great as a finishing pass, not a full writing assistant.
  • humanizer-academic - by Kentaro Matsui (matsuikentaro1) · MIT.
    De-slop for medical manuscripts that makes the inverse move — it restores formal terms LLMs avoid rather than flattening everything.
  • humanmade-antislop - by machinemade-mm · MIT.
    De-AI scientific-writing skill fusing human-voice rules, IMRAD/citation-style scaffolding and GRADE-style critique. Strong on banned-phrase removal and reporting-guideline awareness; derivative of K-Dense and the Wikipedia AI-writing guide.
  • paper-humanizer-skill - by crabin · No License.
    Academic text humanizer for Chinese and English: strips AI-writing tells while strictly preserving facts, numbers and conclusions, and reports which patterns it found. Ships no open-source license.
  • skill-deslop - by Stephen Turner (stephenturner) · MIT.
    A science-aware de-slop skill that spares conventions like passive-voice Methods — the pick when stop-slop feels too blog-flavored.
  • stop-slop - by Hardik Pandya (hardikpandya) · MIT.
    The most-starred de-slop skill — a dogmatic 8-rule rulebook, but general-purpose, not academic-specific, and ignores false positives.
  • Plugin unslop - by mohamedabdallah-14 · MIT · net hooks.
    De-AI plugin that strips AI-isms (sycophancy, stock phrases, hedging, em-dash pileups) while preserving code, URLs and headings, with a benchmarked detector. Strong general-prose humanizer; not academic-specific, needs tuning to keep technical voice.

AIGC detector evasion (thesis)

  • aigc-down-skill - by yezery · MIT.
    Chinese-thesis de-AIGC skill: parses CNKI/Wanfang detection reports, targets flagged passages, and rewrites to cut AI-detection rate while keeping argument and register. Effective for zh theses; not for English and no guarantee against detectors.
  • anti-aigc-zh - by beizi6 · MIT.
    A Chinese counter-AIGC rewriter that reasons from how detectors work (probability curvature, perplexity uniformity, watermark tokens) plus image-metadata stripping. Niche and evasion-focused; bundled chunked-file-writer is incidental.
  • deai-academic-zh - by houlaisan · MIT.
    Chinese-thesis AIGC detection + de-AI rewriting with a documented 3-pass method (wording→burstiness→restructuring) and a zero-fabrication rule; reports real Weipu/CNKI score drops. For zh undergrad/master theses, not English.
  • dissertation-polisher-zh - by chipsahoym · MIT.
    Chinese CS-PhD-dissertation polisher: batch-reads 120+ page theses, strips AI-writing markers, enforces academic-norm checks (first-person residue, figure/ref formatting) and chapter consistency. For formal academic prose, not casual humanizing.
  • humanizer-academic-zh - by cangtianhuang · MIT · net.
    Chinese-academic "humanizer": rewrites paper text to lower AIGC-detection rates and AI phrasing while keeping the core argument, deliberately lightweight and token-thrifty. A niche pick; results depend on the model and are hard to verify.
  • humanizer-zh-academic - by redbaronyyyyy-eng · MIT.
    Rewrites Chinese academic prose to read as human-written and lower AIGC-detector scores. Single-purpose and popular among zh writers; quality of output depends heavily on the source draft, and 'beating detectors' is inherently a moving target.

Manuscript proofreading & quality audit

  • proofreading - by jakobthumm · MIT.
    Proofreads academic papers against 100+ checks (structure, math notation, statistics, figures, grammar, abbreviations) in report or interactive mode, and extracts reviewer marks from annotated PDFs. Deep checklist; English-style checks need tuning.
  • slopbuster - by gabelul · MIT · net.
    A local AI-text humanizer for prose, code and academic writing: a two-pass audit flags 100+ tell-tale AI patterns, scores them in three tiers, and rewrites with optional voice injection -- all offline, no API calls.
  • thesis-writer - by ibrahim-kukash · MIT.
    Writes thesis chapters while scanning for 14 common AI-writing tells against a 23-point rubric, aimed at making academic prose read as human. A focused writing + de-AI tool for theses; useful as a quality gate, though only lightly proven (8 stars).

Anti-hallucination & over-revision guards

  • grounded-research-skill - by arturseo-geo · MIT.
    Anti-hallucination mode applying Anthropic's three guardrails: admit uncertainty, quote-before-analyze, cite-every-claim with a self-audit and public retraction. Trades creativity for trust; a fact-grounding overlay, not a general research mode.
  • sciwrite - by Lorena A. Barba (labarba) · CC-BY-4.0.
    Encodes Sainani's Stanford "Writing in the Sciences" method into five sequential audit passes. A pedigree de-clutter pick for manuscripts.

Review & Publish

Get reviewer-quality critique, then make the manuscript submission-ready.

Peer Review & Response

Review and respond — reviewer-quality critique, rebuttal letters, and the response-to-reviewers that gets a paper accepted.

Pre-submission review & rebuttal

  • Suite AI-research-feedback - by Claes Bäckman · MIT.
    Pre-submission referee simulator tuned only for AER/QJE/JF-tier economics — six parallel agents, not general review.
  • Suite archora-skills - by Richard Kim (Archora) · MIT.
    Simulates an editor-in-chief plus three reviewers; vendor-affiliated (Archora) but runs standalone as plain markdown.
  • Suite polisci-review - by cmertdalli · MIT.
    Pre-submission audit for political-science manuscripts: 9 modules (contribution, theory, measurement, identification, transparency, journal fit) with journal-aware personas and 8 verified journal-policy profiles. Rigorous and discipline-specific.
  • academic-review-skill - by pengkangzhen · MIT.
    Reviews OR/management-science manuscripts for academic merit rather than implementation, detecting domain-specific red flags (infeasible quantities, trivial VSS%) and deliberately phrasing critiques as queries to avoid killing genuine findings.
  • ai-peer-review-skill - by alexwortega · MIT.
    Drop in a paper PDF, get N independent structured reviews plus a synthesized meta-review and a concern matrix CSV. Adapts poldrack/ai-peer-review to free Claude subagents; defaults to a hard alignment-style critic.
  • manuscript-review-skill - by shaowen-ye · MIT.
    Pre-submission manuscript review by six role-specialized AI reviewers (architecture, theory, methods, etc.) that emits a bilingual EN-ZH color-annotated .docx with a 1-10 scoring matrix and prioritized fixes, calibrated to a target journal.
  • mean-reviewer-skill - by xz-liu · No License.
    Roleplays the worst-case adversarial peer reviewer: an inflated wall of weaknesses, framework attacks, a score fixed at reject, and a rebuttal phase conceding nothing. Half polemic on LLM reviews, half a pre-submission stress test; not a gentle tool.

Systematic review & evidence appraisal

  • diogenes - by diogenes-project · GPL-3.0 · net hooks.
    Applies a unified, anti-sycophantic evidence methodology - ICD 203, GRADE, PRISMA, Cochrane RoB and others - as a 14-step appraisal for systematic reviews, evidence grading and claim verification. Rigorous; ships hooks.
  • slr-prisma - by keemanxp · NOASSERTION.
    A systematic-literature-review scaffold following the PRISMA 2020 framework (protocol, search, screening, flow diagram, synthesis). Solid methodology for rigorous reviews; process-guidance rather than automated search, and its license is unclear.

  • Suite paperfit - by openraiser · MIT · net.
    LaTeX typesetting suite that compiles, renders pages to images, then visually diagnoses and fixes layout problems (overfull boxes, float placement, spacing, tables). The vision-in-the-loop loop is its real edge; needs a working local LaTeX toolchain.
  • claude-skill-overleaf - by junhahyung · MIT.
    Reads and writes Overleaf projects from Claude Code via the Overleaf git bridge: edit, commit, and push LaTeX to the web editor with secure token handling and no force-push. Includes a rebuttal scaffold. A clean way to bring an agent into Overleaf.
  • latex-arxiv-skill - by renocrypt · No License · net.
    Issue-driven Codex skill for ML/AI arXiv review papers: scaffolds the LaTeX project and verifies every BibTeX entry end-to-end. The BibTeX verification lifts it above generic templates; aimed narrowly at arXiv-style ML reviews; ships no license.
  • latex-document-skill - by ndpvt-web · MIT.
    The most template-heavy LaTeX skill here — 27 templates spanning papers, forms and tables; breadth over a single niche.

Slides & presentation decks

  • beamer-academic - by faust-donf · MIT.
    Turns a thesis or paper into ready-to-present academic Beamer slides with a real layout library and an interactive editing loop. Bilingual, no LaTeX expertise required; scope is defense/conference decks, not general slide design.

At a glance

Type Every entry is a Claude/agent skill; only the distinguishing kinds are tagged — Suite · Plugin · List. An untagged entry is a single skill.


What it runs Capability tags are the skill's own disclosed behaviour, not a safety rating: net = makes network calls; hooks = runs lifecycle hooks; bypass = needs permission-bypass; ⚠ disclosure = the declaration disagrees with the code. Untagged = none of these. Always review third-party code before running it.

How to use this list

Organised by what researchers actually do, not alphabetically. Start from your current stage and move down the lifecycle: Discover → Read → Analyze → Write → Review → Publish

What gets listed

Included. Open or source-available, with an identifiable license; Actively maintained, with a real README and a working repo; Genuinely useful to researchers — solves a real lifecycle task, not a generic wrapper; Inspectable: behaviour you can read and reason about.

Excluded. Closed SaaS with no inspectable skill / agent layer; Generic LLM wrappers with no academic-specific value; Abandoned or non-working repos; AI-generated slop, or submissions that merely restate a repo's own tagline.

Curation, neutrality & security

This list is maintained by an author of some listed skills; those skills are held to the identical disclosure check, get no preferential placement, and sit in alphabetical order like every other entry.

How the disclosure check works (what the capability tags do and don't mean)

Each entry declares its executable surface (network, hooks, bypass, tool scope). An open, deterministic script (framework/) reads the repo and reports the capabilities it can infer, then flags any place the declaration disagrees with the code. That is the whole claim: disclosed facts, cross-checked — not a security audit, not a quality score, no pass/fail label. We deliberately removed the earlier "analyzed/listed" severity verdict because static severity-guessing produced too many false positives to be trustworthy. Inclusion is a human curator's editorial call about scholarly usefulness, stated openly.

Security. Skills run code — Python, shell, hooks that can fire on lifecycle events. This list does not security-audit or rate them. What it does is surface each skill's own disclosed behaviour — does it make network calls, run hooks, need permission bypass — as plain capability tags, and check that disclosure against the code with an open, re-runnable script (framework/). Tags are facts, not a safety rating; an untagged skill is not "verified safe." Review the source yourself before running any skill in an institutional or sensitive environment, and see SECURITY.md to report one behaving badly.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome, and most listed skills are self-submitted by their authors. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the two ways to contribute (a low-friction Issue Form or a YAML pull request), the eligibility bar, and the security disclosure every entry must make. Submissions are made by humans. See also our Code of Conduct.
