Review academic papers before submission by checking structure, logic, citations, figures, and writing clarity. Audit major claims against available evidence, identify overstatement or missing support, and suggest whether each claim should be kept, softened, revised, or removed.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "review paper quality", "check paper completeness", "validate paper structure", "self-review before submission", "audit claims", "check overclaiming", "verify whether results support claims", or mentions systematic paper quality checking. Provides comprehensive quality assurance checklist for academic papers.

A systematic paper quality checking tool that helps researchers conduct comprehensive self-review before submission.
Check whether all sections of the paper are complete and conform to academic standards:
Verify the logical coherence of the paper:
Check the completeness and accuracy of citations:
Check whether the paper's claims are supported by the available evidence:
This audit does not replace results-analysis for statistics or citation-verification for bibliographic verification. It checks whether paper claims correctly use the available evidence.
Evaluate the quality and effectiveness of figures and tables:
Check writing clarity and readability:
Use this checklist for systematic paper self-review:
Paper Quality Checklist:
- [ ] Abstract includes problem, method, results, contributions
- [ ] Introduction clearly states research motivation
- [ ] Method is reproducible
- [ ] Results support conclusions
- [ ] Main claims are supported by named evidence
- [ ] Over-strong claims are weakened or removed
- [ ] Discussion addresses limitations
- [ ] All figures/tables have captions
- [ ] Citations are complete and accurate
Use this skill in the following scenarios:
Follow these steps for systematic paper review:
Start with the overall structure, checking if all sections are complete and logically coherent.
Dive into each section, checking content accuracy and completeness.
Check whether each major claim is supported by the evidence available in the draft, analysis bundle, citations, or project notes.
Use this output shape:
## Claim Audit
Claim:
Verdict: keep | weaken | revise | remove
Evidence used:
Missing evidence:
Overclaim risk:
Suggested wording:
Verify the completeness and accuracy of all citations.
Check the quality and captions of all figures and tables.
Review language expression and writing clarity.
Use the quality checklist for final verification.
The Paper Self-Review skill provides a systematic paper quality checking process, helping researchers identify and resolve issues before submission, improving paper quality and acceptance rates.

Create and configure Claude Code agents using Markdown files with YAML configuration headers. Define when each agent should run, write its responsibilities and workflow, choose models and tools, and check configuration and triggering behavior.
Add datasets, models, and other components to machine learning projects using consistent registration and creation patterns. The skill guides file placement, configuration, and automatic module loading so new components fit the project's established architecture.
Investigate code errors through a structured process using reproduction steps, logs, and testable explanations. The workflow guides fault isolation, fixes, and follow-up checks, with common error patterns for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Bash/Zsh.
Check academic references for existence, accurate publication details, and support for the claims being cited. This guide explains how to verify sources, obtain bibliography entries, and flag references that cannot be confirmed.
Review code changes and pull requests for correctness, security, performance, and test quality. The skill helps prioritize issues, write specific and constructive feedback, and create shared review checklists and standards for a development team.
Create reusable slash commands, prompts invoked by typing a slash, for Claude Code. The skill explains Markdown structure, arguments, file references, tool permissions, and plugin integration so recurring tasks can follow a defined workflow.
