Semi-automated research assistant for CS and AI researchers that links ideation, Zotero literature management, experiment analysis and reporting, paper writing and reviewer responses, and keeps project knowledge in Obsidian. Branches for Codex and other agents exist.

Connects to your local or cloud Zotero library: search by title, full text or semantics, read PDFs and annotations, add items by DOI and organize collections. Needs Python 3.10+; for local mode, enable the local API in Zotero settings first.

Self-contained modern TeX/LaTeX engine based on XeTeX and TeX Live that downloads and caches support files on first build, compiling .tex to PDF in one command without installing a full TeX distribution.

Empirical social science skills from Stanford REAP and CoPaper.AI, bundling 77 in-house and third-party collections: topic selection, literature reviews, DID/RD/IV identification, regression tables in Python, Stata or R, robustness audits and paper writing. Stata flows need Stata installed.

English prose linter that turns usage guides such as Garner's and advice from great writers into rules, flagging clichés, redundancy, bad comparisons and usage errors line by line, with JSON output for agents. Runs locally with Python; English only.

Builds Markdown and Jupyter notebooks into online textbook sites with a TOC, math, citations and cross-references, plus publication-quality PDF export; popular for course notes. A Jupyter subproject installed via pipx or npm; PDF export needs Typst or LaTeX.

Thesis workflow for undergrad and grad students: Q&A to settle topic and outline, then chapter drafting, literature reviews, pre-submission self-review and AI-tone polishing, with modules for law, medicine and social sciences. Outputs Markdown or compilable LaTeX; won't fabricate citations.

Search and download arXiv papers and read the authors' LaTeX source section by section, export BibTeX and follow topic updates, with papers cached locally. No API key needed.

Fixes defensive academic writing full of hedging and preemptive disclaimers, organizing abstract, introduction, experiments and conclusion around your strongest contribution. Also helps trim length and self-check before a rebuttal. English and Chinese versions, plus a prompt for any AI chat.

PDFMathTranslate 2.x (command pdf2zh_next), built on BabelDOC: translates papers and other PDFs while keeping formulas, charts, TOC and annotations, outputting translated and bilingual side-by-side versions. Uses a free translation channel by default, or your own OpenAI, DeepSeek or other API key.

Replaces arXiv preprint entries in your .bib file with the official published versions from DBLP and ACL Anthology, keeping citation keys, to tidy references before camera-ready. Overwrites the file by default, so preview with --dry-run. Mainly covers CS venues; needs Python 3.10+.

A research-writing plugin from K-Dense: searches the literature in real time before drafting, then produces papers, reviews, grant proposals, posters and slides with verifiable citations and figures. Literature search needs a Parallel API key; PDF output needs LaTeX.

Turns a paper's method description (text or PDF) or data files into publication-ready diagrams and plots, with several AI reviewer roles refining each figure. Needs an OpenAI or Gemini API key (billed per image), Python and uv. A community reimplementation, not by the original paper's authors.

550+ medical research skills from AIPOCH: PubMed search strategy, study design and sample size, statistics and bioinformatics, journal writing and reviewer responses, all vetted by MedSkillAudit. Some need Python/R or database credentials; have researchers and clinicians review results.

A three-stage workflow for math modeling contests like MCM/ICM and CUMCM: analysis, solving and plotting in Python or MATLAB, and a Word (optionally LaTeX) paper, with stage-check subagents and OpenAlex plus AnySearch literature search. Generated papers are for reference only.

Command-line reference and bibliography manager: add papers by DOI with metadata fetched automatically, search by author, title or tag, and import or export BibTeX. Each entry is a readable YAML file that agents can read and write easily; a web UI is included. Needs Python.

Econometrician Pedro Sant'Anna's academic Claude Code setup (fork the repo to use it): Beamer/Quarto lecture slides, paper review and mock refereeing, R/Python analysis and replication packages, with specialist subagents and quality gates. Needs Git and Python; slides need XeLaTeX and Quarto.

Two-stage paper skills: planning studies the style of your target preprint server (e.g. PhilArchive, arXiv), finds gaps in the literature and scores a seven-dimension mock review; writing drafts and checks each chapter from the outline. Suits philosophy and interdisciplinary work; needs Python 3.

Local LLM-powered document translator for PDF, Word, Excel, EPUB, SRT subtitles and more; Word and Excel keep their formatting, glossaries can be built automatically, and agents can submit jobs via MCP. Needs uv and an OpenAI-compatible API key; translated PDFs lose the original layout.

Submission skill packs tailored to 700+ journals and conferences, from AER, Nature and NEJM to top CS venues and leading Chinese journals, to revise papers to each venue's scope, style and requirements. Add its Claude Code marketplace per the README, then install packs per journal.

A Zotero 7 plugin with a built-in MCP server: agents search your local library (title, author, tags, full text), read PDF full text, abstracts, notes and highlights, and create notes and tags. Needs Zotero desktop with the plugin enabled; semantic search needs OpenAI or Ollama embeddings.

Pre-submission review for CS conference papers (CVPR, ACL, NeurIPS and more): polish, translate or condense on request, or let AI reviewers raise issues and a jury rule on them. Only wording fixes are drafted, with your approval; missing experiments go back to you, never invented. Needs Node.js.

Builds conference talks, lab meeting decks, defenses, lectures and grant reports to academic norms: assertion-style titles, slides ordered by the argument, one cited chart per results slide, and a closing conclusions slide. Pair with Anthropic's pptx skill; on claude.ai, enable code execution.

Cleans up BibTeX bibliographies: normalizes field formatting and indentation, sorts entries, merges or removes duplicates and strips chosen fields, rewriting the .bib in place or printing to stdout; also works as a pre-commit hook. Needs Node.js.
