alterlab-scientific-writing
From the author
Writes scientific manuscripts in full flowing paragraphs (never bullet points) via a two-stage process — section outlines with key points using alterlab-research-lookup, then conversion to prose — applying IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, and current reporting guidelines (CONSORT 2025, STROBE, PRISMA 2020, TRIPOD+AI). Use when drafting or revising a research paper section by section (abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion), tightening scientific prose, or writing professional/technical reports. For the end-to-end multi-agent paper pipeline (APA 7 LaTeX/DOCX output, bilingual abstracts, reviewer-driven revision roadmap) use alterlab-paper-writer; for a specific venue's LaTeX template and house style use alterlab-venue-templates; to build a BibTeX bibliography use alterlab-citation-mgmt.

- alterlab-peer-reviewAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsWrites structured, checklist-based single-reviewer reports for manuscripts and grant proposals — assesses methodology, statistical validity, reporting-standards compliance (CONSORT 2025, SPIRIT 2025, STROBE, PRISMA 2020, ARRIVE 2.0), reproducibility, and ethics, and gives constructive, prioritized feedback while respecting reviewer confidentiality and AI-use rules. Use when writing a formal referee report, responding to a journal or grant review invitation, or self-auditing a manuscript against reviewer criteria before submission. For evaluating claims/evidence quality prefer alterlab-scientific-thinking; for a multi-reviewer mock-panel verdict use alterlab-paper-reviewer; for quantitative rubric scoring use alterlab-scholar-eval; to revise a paper in response to reviews use alterlab-paper-writer.

- alterlab-mermaidAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsWrites Markdown documents and text-based Mermaid diagrams (flowcharts, sequence, class, ER, gantt, state, and more) with full style guides, 24 diagram-type references, and 9 document templates. Use when a diagram or technical document should live as version-controllable Markdown/Mermaid text rather than a rendered image — READMEs, methods and pipeline diagrams, analysis or status reports, ADRs, and project docs that render natively on GitHub and GitLab. For AI-rendered publication schematics use alterlab-scientific-schematics; for manuscript prose use alterlab-scientific-writing; for plots of numeric data use alterlab-matplotlib.
