What is this?
A lightweight, zero-dependency Skill and prompt pack that stops 'defensive writing' in academic papers — the habit of pre-emptively hedging, apologizing, and undercutting your own results before reviewers even see them. It pushes writers toward a confident, press-conference style narrative built around the paper's strongest advantage.
Is this a coding library or something else?
It is not code — it is a text-based Claude Skill plus a copy-pasteable prompt, available in Chinese and English, with zero dependencies.
How do I actually use this?
Either copy the prompt from prompts/精简版提示词.txt and paste it at the start of any AI chat before sending your paragraph, or copy the language-specific skill folder into your skills directory for Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent tool.
Do I need Claude Code specifically, or any API key?
No. It works with any AI chatbot via copy-pasted prompt text, with no installation, API key, or dependency required; installing it as a Skill is just an optional convenience for agent tools.
Will it rewrite my paper automatically?
No — it only supplies rules and a decision process for the AI to follow; you still have to feed it your draft and ask it to revise specific sections like the abstract or conclusion.
Who is this meant for?
Researchers writing or revising paper abstracts, introductions, conclusions, experiment sections, or rebuttals, in either Chinese or English.
What's the core rule behind this Skill?
Treat your paper like a press conference, not a project report: only talk about your strongest advantage, never concede on metrics you lose, and make every experiment serve an argument rather than just listing results.
Does it work only with Claude, or other AI tools too?
It works with any AI through the plain-text prompt, and can additionally be installed as a Skill for Claude Code, Cursor, or other agent tools for automatic activation.
What are the 'twelve rules' mentioned in the README?
They cover narrative (organize only around strengths, allow full restructuring), language (ban self-undermining phrases, don't concede on non-dominant results), experiments (every experiment must serve an argument), and structure (abstract/intro as a launch pitch, conclusion only reinforces the key takeaway).
Can this help me shorten an overly long paper?
Yes — the skill includes a decision framework for deciding which sections to cut when compressing paper length.
