academic-research-suite — Claude Code skill: setup and features
Routes academic workflows inside AI assistants, from literature reviews and meta-analyses to manuscript drafting and peer review. Built for researchers preparing scholarly papers.
npx skills add Imbad0202/academic-research-skills-codex --skill academic-research-suite -a claude-codeWhat academic-research-suite does
The suite acts as a workflow router. Instead of loading every prompt at once, it parses the initial intent and reads a single WORKFLOW.md entry under ars/. It routes to deep research, systematic reviews, paper drafting, citation audits, or manuscript reviews.
Under the hood, the skill relies on Read, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, and Python shell execution through uv, python, or python3. A dedicated sub-workflow, sr-screener, handles record screening against eligibility criteria. If provided files span two or more pipeline stages without a clear command, the agent halts and prompts for clarification to prevent misrouting.
Users can bypass cross-phase clarification by adding [direct-mode] as the first token. That behavior is a clear reason to format initial prompts carefully, as mixed inputs without this flag force the router into clarification mode.
What it helps with
- conduct systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses
- verify citation formatting and reference lists
- draft academic paper outlines and abstracts
- simulate peer review and editorial manuscript evaluation
- screen study records against inclusion criteria
Example prompts for the agent
- /ars-lit-review conduct a systematic literature review on quantum computing
- /ars-citation-check check citations and reference formatting in manuscript.tex
- [direct-mode] /ars-abstract draft an abstract based on my paper draft
