Summary

Add an academic paper writing assistant skill based on the MLNLP-World community's paper writing tips, helping
researchers check and optimize their papers before submission to top conferences.

What problem it solves

Academic paper writing requires following many formatting conventions and style guidelines (LaTeX formulas, citations,
figures, tables, etc.). This skill helps researchers:

• Check LaTeX formatting and typesetting issues
• Optimize mathematical notation usage
• Improve figure and table design
• Polish academic English expressions
• Verify reference citation formats
• Run pre-submission final checks

Who uses this workflow

• Graduate students and PhD candidates writing their first papers
• Researchers preparing submissions for ACL, EMNLP, AAAI, IJCAI, and other top-tier venues
• Non-native English speakers who need guidance on academic writing conventions

Example of how it's used

User: "Check my paper's formula notation"

Output: Claude reviews formulas and suggests corrections like:

• Use \mathbf{x} for vectors instead of plain x
• Replace l with \ell to avoid confusion with 1
• Add \left( and \right) for auto-sized brackets
