Paper Workflow
Overview
Use this skill as the routing map for paper work. It does not replace the specialized skills. It tells you which one to use next.
Default assumption: unless the user explicitly names a conference venue, the manuscript should follow the journal-oriented, Nature-style workflow.
When writing follows experiments or analysis performed across multiple sessions, freeze a compact handoff first: current paper story, supported findings, unresolved decisions, and the figure list that actually carries those findings.

16submission-audit
Use when a manuscript is close to submission or resubmission and you need a preflight audit for claim support, figure-panel coverage, legend sync, methods references, terminology stability, and venue-facing risks.
14reference-audit-guide
Use when the user asks for citation-verification principles, reference-audit best practices, or guidance on preventing fake or inaccurate citations in academic writing.
14paper-reviewer
Use when acting as a journal or grant reviewer and writing formal reviewer-side evaluations focused on methodology, statistics, reporting standards, reproducibility, and constructive feedback.
13rebuttal-response
Use when responding to journal or conference reviewer comments and you need a structured author response, aligned manuscript edits, and clear decisions about when to clarify, add evidence, concede, or respectfully disagree.
13paper-bootstrap
Use when starting a new manuscript project or cleaning up an existing paper directory and you need a standard structure, active source files, project memory, and venue defaults before deeper writing begins.
