/verification-engine
Activate when the user needs to verify citations, check source accuracy, or validate that referenced papers actually support the claims attributed to them. Retrieves source abstracts and full text (for open-access papers), compares each citation claim against actual source

- /audit-engine
Activate when the user wants to audit a paper's empirical or technical claims against a linked code repository — checking whether experiments, datasets, models, metrics, and hyperparameters described in the paper actually exist and match the code. Produces a structured audit
Open skill - /coauthor-engine
Activate when the user needs to manage multi-author collaboration on a paper. Tracks author contributions using the CRediT taxonomy, manages responsibility assignments, documents the human-AI division of labor, and produces an author contribution statement ready for submission.
Open skill - /figure-engine
Activate when the user needs to generate, refine, or evaluate academic figures, diagrams, or statistical plots. Uses PaperBanana to transform text descriptions or data files into publication-quality illustrations via direct Python API call. Fallback: matplotlib/seaborn.
Open skill - /idea-engine
Activate when the user needs to evaluate whether a research idea is worth pursuing, brainstorm new research directions, or stress-test a paper concept before committing. This is Phase 0 of the paper machine — the gate that decides whether the full 8-phase pipeline should run.
Open skill - /latex-engine
Activate when the user wants to export a completed paper draft to production-ready LaTeX (.tex) and PDF. Converts draft.md + references.bib + figures/ into a complete arxiv-style LaTeX project with properly resolved \citep/\citet citations, booktabs tables, figure environments,
Open skill - /literature-engine
ALWAYS activate when the user needs to find, organize, review, or synthesize academic literature. Uses academic APIs (Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, CrossRef, arXiv) via scripts/academic_search.py. Handles search strategy, snowballing, screening, concept matrices, narrative
