# Paper Writing ## Overview This skill implements the exact **Hierarchical Manuscript Drafting and Iterative Refinement** process described in section 4.4 of the NeuroClaw architecture and the accompanying flowchart. It acts as the Manuscript Composer within an end-to-end multi-agent framework: - Reads the latest versions of **IDEA.md**, **METHOD.md**, and **EXPERIMENT.md** from the current workspace (continuously updated by the related skills research-idea, method-design, and experiment-controller). - If any of the three files are missing or empty, it immediately prompts the user to provide the research idea, experimental methods, and results before proceeding. - First asks the user whether the final output should be **plain text (.md)** or **LaTeX (.tex)**. - When LaTeX format is selected, it asks the user to provide a custom template file (e.g., `template.tex`). If none is supplied, it automatically uses the default IEEE template (conference or journal version with appropriate `\documentclass`, packages, and structure). - When processing **EXPERIMENT.md**, if sufficient quantitative results are present (metrics, comparisons, ablation studies, numerical values, etc.), the skill a

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill paper-writing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
