What is it?

Academic Research Skills (ARS) is a collection of Claude Code skills for academic work. It covers deep research, paper writing, multi-perspective peer review, and an orchestrating pipeline that runs these stages in order, from literature search through revision and finalization. Each stage waits for the user to confirm before moving on, and the project frames the AI as an assistant that drafts and checks while the researcher makes the decisions.

The suite includes modes for literature reviews, PRISMA systematic reviews, fact-checking, citation checks and conversion, LaTeX output, and APA 7.0 or other citation styles. Its reviewer skill produces criterion-based feedback from several simulated reviewers and a devil's advocate, and a separate screening skill supports protocol-driven study selection. Integrity checks verify citation existence and claim-source alignment, and the README is explicit that they do not confirm that experiments were actually run or that results reproduce.

Installation is through the Claude Code plugin marketplace, with a symlink option and separate ports for Codex CLI and Pi. Output can be Markdown, DOCX via Pandoc, or PDF via tectonic. The content is licensed CC BY-NC 4.0.

Key features

  • 01Covers research, writing, review, revision and finalization as chained pipeline stages.
  • 02Pauses for user confirmation at each stage rather than running fully automatically.
  • 03Generates criterion-based peer review from a simulated panel with a devil's advocate reviewer.
  • 04Supports PRISMA systematic reviews and protocol-driven study screening.
  • 05Checks citation existence and claim-source alignment, with APA, IEEE, Chicago, MLA and Vancouver styles.
  • 06Outputs Markdown, DOCX and LaTeX/PDF.

Use cases

  • Drafting a research paper from a question through to a formatted manuscript.
  • Running a systematic or scoping literature review with PRISMA reporting.
  • Getting structured feedback on a draft before submission to a journal.
  • Working through reviewer comments and tracking how each concern was addressed.

Things to know

  • The license is CC BY-NC 4.0, which restricts commercial use.
  • Claude Code is required, and the README needs an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
  • Some features such as the claim audit are opt-in and the live-judge calibration is not yet recorded.
  • Python is optional but needed for the write-scope guard and some commands.
