# Research Paper Writing

Use this skill when the user wants publication-style technical writing rather than a casual note or blog post.

## Preferred Flow

1. Lock the claim and contribution first.
2. Build section structure before paragraph polish.
3. Keep evidence, method, and limitation statements separate.
4. Use precise, low-hype language.

## Guardrails

- Do not invent citations, experiments, or metrics.
- Mark assumptions and missing evidence explicitly.
