Auto Empirical Research Skills

Generates publication-quality figures for ML papers from research context. Given a paper section or description, extracts system components and relationships to generate architecture diagrams via Gemini. Given experiment results or data, auto-selects chart type and generates data-driven figures via matplotlib/seaborn. Use when creating any figure for a conference paper.

学术引用核查Skill。要求每条引用必须定位到PDF原页，区分直接引用/间接引用，找不到原文则标注"待核"。触发词：引用核查/检查引用/citation check/核实文献/引用 fidelity

PubMed search with keyword optimization, result parsing, and metadata extraction

Smart backward and forward citation following via Semantic Scholar, with relevance filtering and deduplication

Orchestrates end-to-end autonomous AI research projects using a two-loop architecture. The inner loop runs rapid experiment iterations with clear optimization targets. The outer loop synthesizes results, identifies patterns, and steers research direction. Routes to domain-specific skills for execution, supports continuous agent operation via Claude Code /loop and OpenClaw heartbeat, and produces research presentations and papers. Use when starting a research project, running autonomous experiments, or managing a multi-hypothesis research effort.

Generate a complete academic literature survey from scratch using multi-agent orchestration. Searches academic databases (OpenAlex, CrossRef, Unpaywall), downloads PDFs, builds BibTeX, drafts a LaTeX review, compiles it, reviews for quality, and revises based on feedback — all automated. Use this skill whenever the user asks to "generate a literature review", "write a survey paper", "review recent papers on [topic]", "create a survey of [field]", "综述", "文献综述", "survey papers in top journals", or wants a multi-agent pipeline to produce a publishable-quality literature review. Also trigger when the user wants to search multiple journals for papers on a topic and synthesize findings into a structured document. Works for any academic field but optimized for economics journals.

Recommend AND run open-source AI tools, agents, Claude Code / Codex skills, and MCP servers for any stage of a literature review — searching, reading, extracting, synthesizing, screening, citation-checking, and paper writing. Use when the user asks "what tool should I use to..." OR "install/run/use <tool> to ..." for research/lit-review work: automating a survey or related-work section, PDF→Markdown extraction for LLMs (MinerU/marker/docling), PRISMA / systematic review (ASReview), citation-backed Q&A over PDFs (PaperQA2), wiring papers into Claude/Cursor via MCP (arxiv/paper-search/zotero servers), or chatting with a Zotero library. Ships a launcher (scripts/litrun.py) that installs each tool in an isolated venv and runs it. Curated catalog of 70+ vetted projects. 支持中英文（用于「文献综述工具选型」与「一键安装/运行」）。

Structured hypothesis formulation from observations. Use when you have experimental observations or data and need to formulate testable hypotheses with predictions, propose mechanisms, and design experiments to test them. Follows scientific method framework. For open-ended ideation use scientific-brainstorming; for automated LLM-driven hypothesis testing on datasets use hypogenic.

Implements the Spec-Driven Development lifecycle (Intent, Requirements, Design, Tasks, Build) for structured feature development. Use when the user wants to scaffold a new feature spec, generate EARS requirements, create a technical design, break work into tasks, or check spec status. Trigger on keywords: sdd, spec-driven, ears requirements, feature spec.

Use parallel subagents for large-scale paper screening and deep dive analysis

Multi-perspective academic paper review with dynamic reviewer personas. Simulates 5 independent reviewers (EIC + 3 peer reviewers + Devil's Advocate) with field-specific expertise. Supports full review, re-review (verification), quick assessment, methodology focus, and Socratic guided modes. Triggers on: review paper, peer review, manuscript review, referee report, review my paper, critique paper, simulate review, editorial review.

Opinionated Bayesian modeling workflow with PyMC and ArviZ. Contains critical guardrails (nutpie sampler, prior/posterior predictive checks, LOO-PIT calibration, prior sensitivity checks, 94% HDI, non-centered parameterizations, reproducible seeds) that agents won't apply unprompted — always consult before writing Bayesian model code. Trigger on: building probabilistic/Bayesian models, prior elicitation, MCMC inference, convergence diagnostics (divergences, R-hat, ESS), model comparison (LOO-CV, ELPD, stacking weights), hierarchical/multilevel models, count regressions, logistic regression with uncertainty, prior sensitivity analysis, reporting Bayesian results, or mentions of PyMC, ArviZ, InferenceData, credible intervals, posterior distributions, shrinkage, uncertainty quantification. Also trigger for model comparison, diagnosing sampling problems, choosing priors, or presenting stats to non-technical audiences.

Collaboratively build and refine paper screening rubrics through brainstorming, test-driven development, and iterative feedback
