SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Academic writing demands rigorous argumentation, accurate citations, and disciplined structure, but writers often struggle to maintain evidence integrity and coherent organization across theses, papers, and literature reviews. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Argument Mapping and Structure: Express the central claim, assign each section a clear purpose, and order paragraphs so each prepares the next. - Evidence and Citation Auditing: Verify that every citation supports nearby statements, separate author interpretation from source conclusions, and flag missing bibliographic fields instead of fabricating them. - Multi-Pass Revision Workflow: Revise in four passes covering argument order, citation integrity, paragraph cohesion, and sentence clarity. - Use Case: A graduate student submits a draft literature review and receives a structured critique identifying unsupported claims, citation mismatches, and a revised passage that synthesizes sources by debate rather than listing summaries. ## Quick Start Use the academic-writing-style skill to review my thesis draft for argument structure, citation integrity, and clarity while preserving my original meaning.

How do I structure an academic literature review?▼

Can this skill check citations in APA or MLA style?▼

It follows whichever citation style guide you specify, or preserves the document's existing convention if none is given. When exact compliance matters, it verifies current rules from an authoritative source rather than relying on memory.

Does academic writing assistance risk fabricating references?▼
