write-paper
Draft a full academic paper manuscript from analysis outputs, project spec, and lit review. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user wants to turn completed analysis into a written paper — not to run analysis or review existing writing. Triggers include: "write the paper", "draft the manuscript", "write up the results", "start the paper", "turn my results into a paper", "write the introduction", "draft the empirics section", "I have my results, now write the paper", "help me write this up", "write the abstract", or any request to produce academic prose from existing research outputs.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill write-paper --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 brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 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.
