Install Ml Paper Writing
Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.
npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill ml-paper-writingThe open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.
01
Install it
Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.
02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads ml-paper-writing when the request matches its description.
03
Name it if needed
If it does not trigger, say “use the ml-paper-writing skill”. In Codex, type $ml-paper-writing.
ML Paper Writing for Top AI & Systems Conferences
Expert-level guidance for writing publication-ready papers targeting NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, COLM (ML/AI venues) and OSDI, NSDI, ASPLOS, SOSP (Systems venues). This skill combines writing philosophy from top researchers (Nanda, Farquhar, Karpathy, Lipton, Steinhardt) with practical tools: LaTeX templates, citation verification APIs, and conference checklists.
Core Philosophy: Collaborative Writing
Paper writing is collaborative, but Claude should be proactive in delivering drafts.
The typical workflow starts with a research repository containing code, results, and experimental artifacts. Claude's role is to:
- Understand the project by exploring the repo, results, and existing documentation
- Deliver a complete first draft when confident about the contribution
- Search literature using web search and APIs to find relevant citations
- Refine through feedback cycles when the scientist provides input
- Ask for clarification only when genuinely uncertain about key decisions
Key Principle: Be proactive. If the repo and results are clear, deliver a full draft. Don't block waiting for feedback on every section—scientists are busy. Produce something concrete they can react to, then iterate based on their response.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Never Hallucinate Citations
This is the most important rule in academic writing with AI assistance.
The Problem
AI-generated citations have a ~40% error rate. Hallucinated references—papers that don't exist, wrong authors, incorrect years, fabricated DOIs—are a serious form of academic misconduct that can result in desk rejection or retraction.
The Rule
NEVER generate BibTeX entries from memory. ALWAYS fetch programmatically.
| Action | ✅ Correct | ❌ Wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Adding a citation | Search API → verify → fetch BibTeX | Write BibTeX from memory |
| Uncertain about a paper | Mark as [CITATION NEEDED] |
Guess the reference |
| Can't find exact paper | Note: "placeholder - verify" | Invent similar-sounding paper |
When You Can't Verify a Citation
If you cannot programmatically verify a citation, you MUST:
% EXPLICIT PLACEHOLDER - requires human verification
Tips for Ml Paper Writing
- • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
- • It bundles reference files. The agent reads them only when needed, so they cost no context until then.
- • It is part of a pack with 26 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
- • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
