Modern markup-based typesetting system, a LaTeX alternative for papers, reports and resumes. Fast incremental compilation; typst compile outputs a PDF in one command and watch mode recompiles automatically.

Skill suite for the whole academic research workflow: deep research (including PRISMA systematic reviews), paper writing, multi-perspective peer review and revision, pausing for human approval at each stage, with citation and integrity checks. CC BY-NC, non-commercial only.

End-to-end academic paper plugin: deep research and literature review, writing, multi-perspective simulated peer review, revision and finalization, pausing for your approval at each stage, with built-in citation verification and integrity checks. Licensed CC BY-NC.

Drafts, revises and reviews research manuscripts, tying every fact and number to verified evidence and covering reporting guidelines, authorship, AI disclosure and confidentiality; explicitly forbids fabricated citations or data. Includes offline check scripts; no API key needed.

Systematic literature reviews following PRISMA and similar standards: searches PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv and other databases, verifies each citation's DOI, and outputs Markdown and PDF in APA, Nature or other styles. Main web search uses parallel-cli and needs a Parallel account.

Universal document converter between dozens of formats including Markdown, Word, HTML, LaTeX and EPUB, with templates, citations and Lua filters. PDF output uses LaTeX by default, which you install separately.

Translates full PDF papers while preserving formulas, charts and layout (command pdf2zh), outputting monolingual and side-by-side bilingual PDFs. Uses Google Translate by default and can switch to DeepL, OpenAI and others; also runs as an MCP server.

Automattic's offline English grammar checker: checks spelling, grammar and word choice locally in milliseconds without sending your text anywhere. Homebrew installs harper-cli for batch-checking files (still experimental) and harper-ls for editors. English only.

Codex-native version of Academic Research Skills: one skill chains topic selection and literature review, drafting, simulated peer review, revision guidance and experiment planning, with citation verification and integrity checks. For grad students and faculty. Needs Codex; CC BY-NC 4.0 license.

Open-source research agent: one command runs literature reviews, deep research, paper reviews, paper-code consistency checks and replication plans, searching arXiv, PubMed and more with sources recorded. Good for grad students writing reviews. Run feynman setup to sign in to a model provider.

Twelve research skills from Prof. Yuyu Luo's team at HKUST (Guangzhou), built on a decade of top-venue publishing and reviewing: idea evaluation, intro and body writing, polishing, surveys, pre-submission review, figures, Draw.io rebuilds and rebuttals. Non-commercial license.

Turns Peng Sida's public research-writing notes into a skill: revises abstracts, introductions, methods and experiments of ML/CV/NLP papers from a reviewer's view, checks that each claim has experimental evidence, and runs a pre-submission self-check. Pure methodology, no API key.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that uses the local API of the Zotero desktop app to search your library, export BibTeX, insert citations into LaTeX or Markdown drafts, and import new references after you confirm. Requires Zotero desktop.

Consensus's official Codex plugin: uses its remote MCP to search 220 million peer-reviewed papers for literature reviews, bibliographies, research gap analysis and cited writing. Needs a Consensus sign-in; the free tier returns a limited number of results.

Posit's open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc: embed Python, R or Julia code in Markdown or Jupyter notebooks, then quarto render produces HTML, PDF, Word, slides, websites and books.

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.
