SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Academic writing requires juggling citation integrity, venue-specific formatting rules, and bilingual CN/EN conventions, and errors like fabricated references or missed journal guidelines lead to desk rejections. This Skill manages the full scholarly writing lifecycle so every citation is verified and every draft matches the target venue's requirements. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mode-routed workflows: Automatically loads dedicated task guides for literature reviews, IMRaD papers, theses, grant proposals, peer reviews, rebuttals, and material integration. - Citation integrity engine: Verifies every reference against real sources, flags unverified entries, and validates .tex against .bib using validate_bib.py and check_citations.py. - Live venue intelligence: Fetches current journal, university, or funder guidelines before writing and saves limits, citation styles, and AI disclosure policies to a venue profile. - Bilingual CN/EN support: Covers GB/T 7714 citations, Chinese thesis norms, CNKI workflows, and NSFC grant structures alongside IEEE, APA, and ACM styles. - Use Case: Ask it to draft an IEEE conference paper from your experiment results; it fetches the venue's author guidelines, builds a claim-evidence outline, writes LaTeX from the IEEEtran template, and runs citation validation before delivery. ## Quick Start Describe your academic writing task with the target venue and any source files, for example: write an IMRaD paper for IEEE TNNLS using the experiment results in my results folder with verified references.

Frequently Asked Questions about scholar-forge

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an academic paper with verified citations using AI?▼

Describe your topic, target venue, and data files; the Skill fetches the venue's author guidelines, builds an outline with a claim-evidence map, then writes prose where every reference is verified against real sources. Unverified entries are marked [UNVERIFIED] and excluded from the final bibliography.

How to check that LaTeX citations match the BibTeX file?▼

Run python scripts/check_citations.py paper.tex references.bib to confirm every \cite key exists in the .bib file. Use python scripts/validate_bib.py references.bib to catch missing required fields and duplicate keys.

Does it support Chinese thesis formatting and GB/T 7714 citations?▼

Yes, it includes a Chinese academic reference guide covering GB/T 7714 numerical citations, ctex-based thesis structure, CNKI search workflows, and a gb7714-thesis.tex template. It also supports NSFC grant proposal structures.

Can it write a rebuttal letter responding to reviewer comments?▼

Yes, the revision-rebuttal mode parses each reviewer comment, classifies responses as accept, partial, or disagree, maps each to manuscript changes, and drafts a point-by-point response letter with a disagreement protocol.

What are the limitations of AI-assisted academic writing with this Skill?▼

It cannot access paywalled papers without user-provided PDFs, and venue fetches may fail, in which case assumptions are marked [VENUE UNVERIFIED]. It assists the process but does not replace the author's scholarly judgment or research contribution.
