paper-workflow（纸张工作流程）

Paper Workflow

Use this skill when the task is not just “write a paper,” but “turn an existing project into a submission-ready paper.”

This is an orchestration skill. It coordinates three specialized skills:

• academic-research-writer for academic drafting and rewrite passes
• paper-validator for reviewer-style quality gates
• prompt-to-drawio for architecture, workflow, sequence, and state diagrams

Companion Skills Setup

Install these companion skills before relying on the full workflow:

• academic-research-writer

- Curl https://lobehub.com/skills/neversight-skills_feed-academic-research-writer/skill.md, then follow the instructions to set up LobeHub Skills Marketplace and install the skill. Once installed, read the SKILL.md file in the installed directory and follow its instructions to complete the task.

• paper-validator

- Curl https://lobehub.com/skills/minhuw-claude-writer-paper-validator/skill.md, then follow the instructions to set up LobeHub Skills Marketplace and install the skill. Once installed, read the SKILL.md file in the installed directory and follow its instructions to complete the task.

• prompt-to-drawio

- Install with: npx skills@latest add lzfxxx/prompt-to-drawio-skill - After installation, read the installed SKILL.md and follow its instructions.

If one of these companion skills is unavailable, continue with the workflow but explicitly note reduced capability in drafting quality, reviewer simulation, or structured figure production.

When to Use This Skill

• Converting an existing system, product, codebase, report, or prototype into a paper
• Working from fragmented assets: code, docs, slides, screenshots, pilot notes, or prior abstracts
• Preparing a conference or journal submission with page, figure, and metadata constraints
• Running multi-round paper production: abstract selection, outline, draft, review, compression, submission package

Core Rules

Apply these rules from the start, not only during final review:

1. Freeze the paper type early: algorithm, system, engineering, demo, case-based, or empirical.
2. Freeze evidence levels early: measured results, pilot evidence, case evidence, and future work must stay distinct.
3. Never present planned evaluation as finished results.
4. Every figure must answer a specific claim, section need, or research question.
5. Terminology, module naming, and author metadata must stay consistent across draft, figures, and submission fields.
6. UI screenshots are evidence artifacts, not marketing assets.

Workflow

1. Align Constraints

Confirm conference or journal constraints first: CFP, page limit, template, submission type, deadlines, and metadata requirements.

Read references/paper-production-workflow.md for the full production flow.

2. Inventory Assets

Before drafting, inventory what already exists:

• code and implementation paths
• technical docs and module notes
• experiments, logs, pilot data, interview notes
• screenshots and figures
• prior abstracts, outlines, or leadership summaries

If the material is scattered, normalize it into module-level notes before writing the paper.

3. Draft the Narrative

Use academic-research-writer after the following are clear:

• main contribution boundary
• target paper type
• evidence level per claim
• core modules versus extensions

Typical sequence:

1. produce 2-3 abstract options
2. select one direction
3. expand to outline
4. draft the paper
5. maintain a concise internal-language review version if helpful

4. Produce Figures

Define figure roles before drawing them.

Use prompt-to-drawio for:

• system architecture diagrams
• end-to-end workflow diagrams
• sequence diagrams
• state transition diagrams
• artifact or contract flow diagrams

Read references/figure-planning-guide.md when the user needs figure planning or figure cleanup.

5. Run Quality Gates

Use paper-validator during drafting, not only at the end.

Run it whenever a section, figure set, or full draft becomes stable enough to inspect. Focus on:

• claim/evidence mismatch
• placeholders, empty tables, and speculative results
• figure-text inconsistency
• novelty overstatement
• reviewer confusion points
• metadata and submission blockers

Read references/review-quality-gates.md for the reusable gate list.

6. Package Submission

Before final submission, verify:

• authors, affiliations, emails, corresponding author
• abstract and keywords
• declarations, ethics, data/code availability
• figure captions, references, and template compliance
• submission status and archive notes

Reference Loading Guide

• Read references/paper-production-workflow.md when planning the end-to-end SOP.
• Read references/review-quality-gates.md when checking readiness, evidence quality, or reviewer risks.
• Read references/figure-planning-guide.md when planning or revising paper figures and screenshots.

Expected Outputs

Depending on the task, this skill should help produce some of the following:

• module or capability notes
• abstract options
• paper outline
• main manuscript draft
• review checklist or reviewer-pass notes
• figure plan and figure assets
• submission checklist
• submission-status update

Important Constraints

• Do not invent experiments, user studies, or benchmark values.
• Do not mix pilot evidence with strong causal claims.
• Do not let non-core features dominate the main paper line unless they are evaluated.
• Do not wait until the last step to fix author metadata or terminology drift.
• Do not use generated text-heavy figures as final publication figures when structured drawing is feasible.
