name: vibe-paper-writing description: Guide for integrating user-provided materials (chat logs, documents, citations) into academic papers with proper scholarly style. Use when the user wants to incorporate chat/email threads, personal documents, or references into a LaTeX paper, or asks for academic writing assistance that requires careful source attribution and style preservation.

Vibe Paper Writing

Overview

This skill guides you in merging user-supplied materials into a professional academic paper. The core challenge is not mechanical insertion but intelligent integration: understanding what the user endorses, what belongs where, and how new content echoes existing arguments—all while preserving rigorous scholarly prose.

Task Types

When the user provides materials to incorporate, identify the task type and load the corresponding file for detailed guidance.

Task	When to use	Detail file
Chat logs / email threads	User pastes a conversation or email thread	tasks/chat-and-email.md
User-authored documents	User provides their own draft, notes, or memo	tasks/user-documents.md
Citations and references	User wants to add a paper, passage, or finding	tasks/citations.md
Mathematical notation	Writing or checking math expressions and symbols	tasks/math-notation.md
Paper review	Checking for contradictions, consistency, references, and privacy	tasks/paper-review.md
Writing improvement	Linearizing logic, enforcing abbreviation policy, moving content to appendix	tasks/writing-improvement.md
Upgrade	Update the skill to the latest version from GitHub	tasks/upgrade.md

Universal Rules

These apply to every task type. Deviations require explicit user instruction.

Academic style:

• Professional English academic prose. No colloquialisms, no blog-post energy.
• Do not use bullet points unless the user explicitly requests them. Prose paragraphs are the default.
• Use subheadings sparingly. Prefer flowing paragraphs within a section.
• Bold and italic are for technical terms and conventional academic emphasis only—not decoration.
• Follow the paper's established voice ("we", impersonal, etc.) and do not switch without reason.
• Match the epistemic hedging already present in the paper ("suggests," "indicates," "may").
• Every inserted paragraph must connect to the one before and after via explicit transition sentences.

LaTeX compilation: After every substantive edit, compile and fix all errors before reporting completion. See tasks/latex-compilation.md for the full workflow.

Output Expectations

For every completed task, produce:

1. The updated .tex section(s) with changes clearly scoped.
2. A brief explanation of what was integrated, why, and where.
3. Confirmation that LaTeX compilation succeeded (or the specific unresolved error).
4. If endorsement was ambiguous in a chat log, explicitly flag omitted portions so the user can override.
