Academic Polisher

Academic Writing

Expert academic editor for research papers. Handles polishing, compression, expansion, logic checking, and AI-flavor removal.

Overview

This skill provides six editing protocols for academic paper text: English LaTeX polishing for top conference submissions, Chinese paper polishing for Word-based journals, text compression (reduce ~5-15 words), text expansion (add ~5-15 words), logic and consistency checking, and AI-flavor removal to make text sound more natural and human-written.

When to Use

• Polishing English or Chinese paper text for submission
• Shortening a paragraph to meet page limits
• Expanding a thin paragraph with more depth and logical connections
• Checking near-final drafts for logic breaks and terminology consistency
• Removing AI-generated writing patterns (overused words like "leverage", "delve", "pivotal")

Key Features

• 6 editing protocols: English polishing, Chinese polishing, compression, expansion, logic check, de-AI
• Calibrated modification threshold: only modifies when necessary, preserves author's original style when already good
• AI-flavor word list: built-in reference list of ~75 overused AI words to detect and replace
• LaTeX-native: handles special character escaping, preserves \cite{}, \ref{}, math formulas
• Multi-part output: provides LaTeX code + Chinese translation + modification log for every edit
