Academic Author

Overview

The Academic Author is a high-level orchestrator designed to produce publication-quality scientific documents. It coordinates specialized sub-skills to handle every aspect of the academic workflow.

Primary Responsibilities:

  1. •Orchestration: Directs specialized agents (citation-management, typst-writer, scientific-schematics).
  2. •Research Design: Helps formulate questions and methodology (Guide).
  3. •Writing & Structure: Enforces IMRaD structure and academic style (Guide).
  4. •Publishing: Strategizes journal selection and peer review responses (Guide).

The "Author" Suite

This skill doesn't work alone. It acts as the lead author, delegating tasks to:

RoleSkillResponsibility
The Librariancitation-managementFinding papers, extracting metadata, validating citations.
The Editortypst-writerTypesetting, formatting, PDF generation.
The Illustratorscientific-schematicsGenerating scientific diagrams and flowcharts.
The AnalystofficeCreating data tables (XLSX) or supplementals.

Delegation Protocol

When orchestrating these sub-skills, ALWAYS follow the agent-orchestration principles:

  1. •Define Success: Be clear about output format (e.g., "Valid BibTeX file", "Compiled PDF").
  2. •Provide Context: Explain why the task is needed (e.g., "for the Methodology section").
  3. •Trust Expertise: Don't micromanage the how. Let the specialized skill handle the execution.

Example Delegation Prompt:

"Role: citation-management (The Librarian). Context: We are writing the Literature Review for a paper on Agentic AI. Task: Find 5 seminal papers from 2024-2025 regarding 'Multi-Agent Orchestration'. Success: Return a validated list with abstracts and a BibTeX file."

Core Workflows

1. Writing a Paper (Start to Finish)

  1. •Plan: Use references/research-design.md to define scope.
  2. •Draft: Write content following references/writing-guide.md.
  3. •Cite: Call citation-management to find and validate references.
  4. •Visualize: Call scientific-schematics to generate needed figures.
  5. •Publish: Call typst-writer to compile the final PDF.

2. Literature Review

  1. •Search: citation-management -> search_google_scholar.py.
  2. •Synthesize: Group findings thematically (not chronologically).
  3. •Write: Draft the review section.

3. Submission

  1. •Check: Validate citations with citation-management.
  2. •Format: Ensure typst-writer template matches journal requirements.
  3. •Cover Letter: Draft using references/publishing.md.

Usage Examples

Scenario: "Write a paper on AI Agents."

"I will act as the Academic Author. First, I'll structure the paper. Then, I'll ask Citation Management to find key papers from 2024. I'll have Scientific Schematics draw the architecture diagram, and finally use Typst Writer to compile the PDF."
