How to choose academic writing skills
Match the skill to the venue. ml-paper-writing targets NeurIPS, ICML and ACL style papers; systems-paper-writing targets OSDI and SOSP; research-grants covers NSF, NIH and DOE proposals.
Literature review skills search scholarly databases such as PubMed and need network access; some sources require an API key. Drafting and peer-review skills work from the material you provide.
Keep sources traceable. Prefer skills that record where each claim came from, and verify every citation yourself before submission.
