What it does
A suite of Claude Code skills spanning the research-to-publication pipeline: Socratic planning of the paper's structure, reference hunting and management, citation formatting, figure and table housekeeping, and organising responses to reviewers. The author is explicit that it won't write the paper — AI as copilot, not pilot. Licensed CC BY-NC 4.0, so personal and educational research is fine but commercial use is not. Always verify references against the originals, and follow your venue's AI disclosure policy.
