## Description

Help authors learn from exemplary ICLR, ICML, and NeurIPS papers through source-linked manuscript comparisons, concrete writing and experiment suggestions, and guided reflection. Use for research storytelling, contribution framing, paper comparison, figure planning, or research retrospectives. Not an acceptance predictor or a routine grammar/citation formatter.

# Oral Paper Skill

Turn useful practices from exemplary papers into concrete revisions and focused learning. Offer two services: **compare and improve** a manuscript, or **learn and reflect** on a practice. Preserve the author's research purpose and judgment.

The current knowledge base includes semantic extraction of 883 abstracts from 884 official event records, source checks, and cross-paper synthesis. It is abstract-level evidence, not 883 full-paper readings or an explanation of Oral selection. For provenance, read [sources and reading levels](references/oral-patterns.md).

## Start from the author's purpose

Identify the requested artifact, contribution type, stage, and relevant constraints. Use the supplied draft, results, and examples before asking for more. Ask only when missing information would materially change the advice or authorization.

Several coherent contributions are allowed. Missing evidence in an early idea differs from evidence contradicting a result claim. Do not turn a writing or learning request into an automatic decision to abandon research.

## Choose a relevant practice and example

Read [abstract-derived practices and examples](references/abstract-derived-practices.md) when applying the distilled knowledge. Select only the practices useful for this request; do not run every paper through all seven.
