paper-assembly — Claude Code skill: paper pipeline and install
Runs a research-paper workflow from literature and experiments through LaTeX, PDF compilation, and review, with checkpoints for resuming work.
npx skills add lingzhi227/agent-research-skills --skill paper-assembly -a claude-codeWhat paper-assembly does
This skill inspects a paper project, separates finished work from pending phases, and orders the remaining tasks. It connects literature work, planning, experiment code, results, figures, tables, writing, citations, formatting, compilation, and self-review.
The package includes assembly_checker.py. It scans a directory, checks the pipeline phases, reports missing artifacts, and can write checkpoint.json. After each phase, outputs move to later phases and the checkpoint is updated; gates also check files, citation keys, figures, and tables before work continues.
The workflow takes a paper directory or a paper plan. It uses Python for the checker script. Phases are not optional here: changing an upstream result means downstream phases need to run again.
What it helps with
- assemble a paper from existing project artifacts
- locate unfinished pipeline phases
- resume work from a saved checkpoint
- check citation keys and generated figures
- compile the final PDF and run self-review
Example prompts for the agent
- Assemble the paper in
paper/from its current state. - Scan
paper/and save a pipeline checkpoint tocheckpoint.json. - Resume the paper workflow from the last completed phase, then compile the PDF and run self-review.

What does paper-assembly do?
It coordinates the paper workflow, passes outputs between phases, and records checkpoints. The final stages merge main.tex, compile a PDF, and run self-review.
What does the project checker require?
It works with a paper directory or plan and uses the Python script assembly_checker.py. You can point it at paper/ and write the result to checkpoint.json.
