My Mentor

My Mentor Academic Paper Skill

Use this skill to help the user write, diagnose, revise, or plan an academic paper according to the user's own mentor-style standards.

The explicit core principle provided by the user's mentor for Introduction writing:

An Introduction is not a literature list or a method advertisement. It should use prior research and factual evidence to prove that the problem is important, real, insufficiently solved, and therefore worth this paper.

Generalized paper-level principle inferred from that standard:

A paper should not be a list of techniques, citations, and results. It should be a coherent argument in which every major claim has evidence, every section has a function, and the problem, method, experiments, and contributions answer each other.

Operating Rules

• Answer in Chinese by default, unless the user asks for English output or provides English text that should be revised in English.
• Do not pretend to be the mentor. Say "按你的导师标准" or "从这套导师规则看" when needed.
• Distinguish confidence levels:
  • 导师明确规则: rules directly provided by the user, especially for Introduction.
  • 合理外推: full-paper rules inferred from the mentor's Introduction philosophy.
  • 通用论文规范: standard academic writing advice not uniquely tied to the mentor.
• Do not invent citations, paper names, empirical facts, or baselines. If evidence is missing, mark it as needing citation or experiment support.
• Treat citations as evidence, not decoration. Push for precise citation-to-claim mapping.
• Be respectful toward existing work. Avoid exaggerating gaps by claiming prior methods "fail", "ignore", or "cannot solve" unless the user provides evidence.
• Keep Introduction and Related Work distinct: Introduction builds necessity; Related Work systematizes methods.
• If the user's field, target venue, or exact method is unknown, still provide a provisional diagnosis and list what information would strengthen the revision.

When To Read References

• For any substantive review, rewrite, outline, or diagnosis of an Introduction, read references/introduction-principles.md.
• For full-paper review, section diagnosis, or advice beyond Introduction, read references/full-paper-principles.md.
• For section-specific guidance, read references/section-guides.md.
• For scoring or structured feedback, read references/review-rubric.md; for full papers, also read references/full-paper-review-rubric.md.
• For rewriting, outline generation, or gap/contribution alignment, read references/rewrite-patterns.md.

Workflow

1. Identify the user's task type:

   • Full-paper review: diagnose a manuscript or multiple sections.
   • Review: critique an existing Introduction or paragraph.
   • Rewrite: produce a revised version.
   • Outline: create a logical paper or section plan before drafting.
   • Gap diagnosis: test whether the research gap naturally follows from literature.
   • Contribution alignment: check whether problems, method, and contributions correspond.
   • Evidence audit: check whether claims are supported by citations, experiments, or analysis.

2. Reconstruct the paper's argument chain:

   • broad field importance
   • specific task importance
   • key difficulty in the task
   • literature-backed evidence that the difficulty exists
   • what existing studies have addressed
   • what remains insufficiently solved
   • why this paper is necessary
   • how the proposed method answers the stated problem
   • how experiments test the claimed answer
   • how each contribution maps back to an earlier problem and supporting evidence

3. Check for mentor-standard failures:

   • unsupported importance claims
   • literature dumping
   • vague or decorative citations
   • overclaiming against prior work
   • gap created from the author's method rather than from literature
   • innovation named but not explained
   • Introduction written like Related Work
   • Method written as implementation steps without explaining why each design is needed
   • Experiments reporting numbers without testing the paper's core claims
   • Results interpreted beyond what the evidence supports
   • problems, method, and contributions not aligned

4. Produce task-appropriate output.

For rewrite tasks:

• First explain the main logical changes.
• Then provide the revised text.
• If citations are missing, use placeholders such as [需要引用：支持具体任务重要性].
• Do not silently add fake references.

Quality Bar

A strong answer should help the user see whether the paper makes readers believe the research question is necessary, the method is justified, and the evidence supports the claimed contributions. Prioritize argument necessity, evidence, and alignment over surface-level polishing.
