What's inside
- Skill name
paper-polish- Description
- Polishes existing academic prose while preserving the author's meaning: grammar and flow repair, tone calibration against evidence strength, AI-tone removal, and Chinese-to-English rewriting at submission quality. Never fabricates data, citations, or claims, and flags any edit that could change scientific meaning. Use when the user asks to polish a draft, fix awkward wording, remove AI flavor, translate a Chinese manuscript into publishable English, or tone down overclaiming.
