## Description

Write publication-ready ML/AI papers for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, COLM. Use when drafting papers from research repos, conducting literature reviews, finding related work, verifying citations, or preparing camera-ready submissions. Includes LaTeX templates, citation verification workflows, and paper discovery/evaluation criteria.

# ML Paper Writing for Top AI Conferences

Expert-level guidance for writing publication-ready papers targeting **NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, and COLM**. This skill combines writing philosophy from top researchers (Nanda, Farquhar, Karpathy, Lipton, Steinhardt) with practical tools: LaTeX templates, citation verification APIs, and conference checklists.

## Default operating order

Use this skill in the following order unless the task is unusually narrow:
1. lock the operating mode from `references/OPERATING-MODES.md`,
2. understand the repo or draft context,
3. use `references/citation-workflow.md` as the **canonical citation authority**,
4. load venue- or template-specific references only after the main writing path is clear.

Google Scholar may still help with manual discovery, but it is **not** the canonical verification authority in this skill. Default verification should use programmatic sources such as Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and arXiv.

## Claim ledger gate

Before a project plan, experiment note, or literature summary becomes manuscript prose:
- identify the Claim Candidate or Evidence Record that supports the sentence,
- preserve allowed wording and forbidden stronger wording,
- keep project plans as hypotheses unless experiment artifacts or verified papers support them,
- do not turn related-work motivation into evidence for the paper's own result,
- mark unsupported claims as `[CLAIM NEEDS EVIDENCE]` instead of polishing them.

If the repo context is clear enough for a first draft, still apply this gate before stating contributions, results, related-work contrasts, or rebuttal-facing claims.

## Core Philosophy: Collaborative Writing

**Paper writing is collaborative, but Claude should be proactive in delivering drafts.**

The typical workflow starts with a research repository containing code, results, and experimental artifacts. Claude's role is to:
