What it does
End-to-end statistical writing assistant for LaTeX - draft title/abstract/keywords, expand outlines into sections, audit manuscripts, write reviewer reports and response letters, and scaffold book manuscripts.
Statistical Writing (One Skill)
This is a single "workbench" skill for statistical manuscripts written in LaTeX.
Guidance is split into focused references under references/. Deterministic checks live in scripts/. Ready-to-use templates live in assets/.
Positioning: Hybrid + JDS profile
Default behavior is journal-agnostic. For Journal of Data Science (JDS), apply the JDS profile:
- Maintain strong literature positioning and explicit novelty.
- Require clean cross-referencing and cleaned BibTeX.
- Prefer vector graphics for figures in the manuscript.
- Enable line numbers for review drafts.
- Include reproducibility artifacts (code/data/supplement) when possible.
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- Generate compliant front matter (title, abstract, keywords).
- Expand outlines into complete sections in LaTeX.
- Audit a manuscript for structure, style, references, and reproducibility quality.
- Draft reviewer reports.
- Draft point-by-point response letters.
- Scaffold a book manuscript from a chapter plan.
Inputs to ask for (minimal)
Prefer file paths over pasted text.
- Manuscript tasks: root TeX file (for example
main.tex). - Reference checks: BibTeX file(s) (for example
refs.bib). - Response letters: full reviewer/editor comments + revised text if available.
- Reviewer report: manuscript or extended abstract being reviewed.
- Book manuscript: chapter list, audience, tone, and desired notation style.
