academic-research-companion

Guide a research project through the full academic lifecycle — from raw idea to concrete research question, literature grounding, methodology, writing, feedback, and publication. Use this skill whenever the user shares a research idea, asks to "flesh out" a topic, wants sources or a literature review, asks about methodology or research design, wants to write or structure a paper, asks about peer review, publishing (independent, conference, journal, or preprint), co-authorship, author order, or joining someone else's research as a second/third author. Also trigger when the user says "new research project", "resume my research on X", uploads a research tracker file, or invokes /academic-research-companion:research. Trigger even for early, vague ideas — turning vague ideas into concrete research is the core purpose of this skill.
