Write, format, and export professional academic research papers as publication-ready PDFs using reportlab. Use this skill whenever the user wants to write a research paper, preprint, white paper, literature review, position paper, or technical report — whether from scratch, from notes, or from an existing draft. Also trigger when the user asks to convert markdown/text into an academic PDF, needs SSRN/arXiv submission preparation, or wants tables, figures, and references formatted for publication. Trigger on: "write a paper", "preprint", "format as research paper", "turn my notes/draft into a paper", "academic PDF", "SSRN", "arXiv", "research report", "literature synthesis", "position paper", "white paper", "publish my research". Even if the user just provides a markdown file and says "make this a PDF", use this skill if the content is scholarly/research-oriented.
