# Paper Writing
## When To Use
Use this skill for:
- research reports that should read like a paper
- internal memos with equations or formal structure
- polished writeups of experiments or literature reviews
- converting rough notes into a coherent draft
## Procedure
1. Make sure the underlying claims are already grounded in sources, experiments, or explicit caveats.
2. Build the draft around a proper research structure:
- title
- abstract
- introduction or problem statement
- related work
- approach, synthesis, or methodology
- evidence, experiments, or case studies
- limitations
- conclusion
3. Use Markdown by default.
4. Use LaTeX only where equations or notation genuinely improve clarity.
5. Keep claims falsifiable and scoped.
6. Save polished drafts to `papers/`.
## Pitfalls
- Do not use LaTeX for decoration.
- Do not make a draft look more certain than the evidence supports.
- Do not hide missing citations or weak evidence; flag them.
## Deliverable
A readable paper-style draft with:
- explicit structure
- traceable claims
- equations only where useful
- limitations stated plainly
