Indexed Skills (19)
create-abstract
Write a scientific paper abstract in LaTeX from a short description, a draft manuscript, or a results section, following the six-part model (contextualization, gap, purpose, methods, results, conclusions) from Zucolotto's scientific writing course. Interviews the researcher for what is missing, drafts, then refines with them. Use when asked to write, draft, or produce an abstract for a paper, article, or manuscript.
create-conclusions
Write a scientific paper conclusions section in LaTeX using the inverse funnel from Zucolotto's course, opening on the principal result and widening to how it advances the broad field. Use when asked to write, draft or produce a conclusions or conclusion section for a paper, article or manuscript.
create-cover-letter
Write a submission cover letter for a scientific manuscript, stating the importance and novelty of the work and why this specific journal is the right venue. Use when asked to write, draft or produce a cover letter for a paper submission, or when preparing to submit a manuscript to a journal.
create-introduction
Write a scientific paper introduction in LaTeX following the four-movement model (contextualization, gap, state of the art, purpose) from Zucolotto's course, with the general-to-specific funnel and the three classes of citation. Interviews the researcher for the literature and the gap, drafts, then refines. Use when asked to write, draft or produce an introduction for a paper, article or manuscript.
create-response-to-reviewers
Write a point-by-point response letter to reviewer comments for a revised manuscript, pairing every comment with a reply and the change made, plus the accompanying cover letter to the editor. Use when asked to respond to reviewers, write a response letter, address referee comments, or prepare a revision after peer review.
create-results-discussion
Write a scientific paper results and discussion section in LaTeX, structuring each result block with the four information classes from Zucolotto's course (background, description, interpretation, comparison with prior work), opening each paragraph with a topic sentence, and writing self-contained figure captions. Use when asked to write, draft or produce a results, discussion, or results and discussion section.
create-title
Write scientific paper title options in LaTeX, concise and keyword-rich, favouring the modern trend of stating the paper's principal contribution in the title rather than merely describing the topic. Use when asked to write, draft, propose or produce a title for a paper, article or manuscript.
paper-writing-style
House style rules for scientific paper writing in English, distilled from Valtencir Zucolotto's scientific writing course. Load whenever drafting, revising, or reviewing any part of a scientific manuscript (abstract, introduction, results, discussion, conclusions, cover letter) so the prose reads as clear, concise, specific, human-written academic English rather than generated text. Also load when asked to humanize, tighten, or de-jargon scientific prose.
review-abstract
Review an existing scientific abstract from a writing perspective using the categorization exercise from Zucolotto's course, labelling every sentence with the part of the six-part model it implements, then reporting missing parts, a weak gap, vague results, and style defects with concrete rewrites. Use when asked to review, critique, check, improve, or give feedback on an abstract.
review-conclusions
Review a scientific paper conclusions section from a writing perspective, checking the inverse funnel from specific to general, verifying the principal result, interpretation and contribution are all present, catching text copied from the results section, and reporting style defects with rewrites. Use when asked to review, critique or improve a conclusions section.
review-cover-letter
Review a submission cover letter for a scientific manuscript, checking that it states the novelty concretely, gives a real reason for choosing this journal, includes the declarations the journal requires, does not overclaim relative to the paper, and fits on one page. Use when asked to review, critique or check a cover letter before submission.
review-introduction
Review a scientific paper introduction from a writing perspective, labelling each paragraph and sentence with the movement it implements (contextualization, gap, state of the art, purpose), checking the general-to-specific funnel, auditing the three citation classes, and reporting style defects with concrete rewrites. Use when asked to review, critique, check or improve an introduction.
review-response-to-reviewers
Review a point-by-point response letter to reviewers before resubmission, checking that every comment has a response, that every response names where in the manuscript the change lives, that no claimed change is missing from the revised manuscript, and that the tone will not antagonize the reviewers. Use when asked to review or check a response letter or rebuttal before sending it.
review-results-discussion
Review a results and discussion section from a writing perspective, labelling each result block against the four information classes (background, description, interpretation, comparison), checking topic sentences and paragraph boundaries, auditing figure captions for self-containment, and reporting style defects with rewrites. Use when asked to review, critique or improve a results or discussion section.
review-title
Review a scientific paper title, checking whether it states the principal contribution or merely describes the topic, whether it carries scientific crutch phrases, whether it is concise and keyword-rich, and whether it claims exactly what the paper shows. Use when asked to review, critique, check or improve a paper title.
update-cover-letter
Update an existing cover letter, whether the paper changed since it was written, the manuscript is being submitted to a different journal after rejection, feedback was given on the letter, or it was left unfinished. Use when a cover letter already exists and needs to change rather than be written from scratch.
update-response-to-reviewers
Update an existing response letter to reviewers, whether a second round of comments arrived on the revised manuscript, the manuscript changed after the letter was drafted, a co-author commented on the letter, or it was left unfinished. Use when a response letter already exists and needs to change.
update-title
Update an existing paper title when the paper's principal finding has changed, when reviewers or an editor asked for a different title, or when a provisional working title needs replacing now that the paper is finished. Use when a title already exists and needs to change.
write-paper
Guide a scientific manuscript from figures to submission, following the recommended writing order from Zucolotto's course (results and discussion, conclusions, introduction, methods, abstract, title), reporting where the paper currently stands and invoking the right section skill for the next step. Use when asked how to start writing a paper, what to write next, what order to write a paper in, or to be walked through writing a manuscript end to end.
