Start writing today with an outline that becomes a draft
You have ideas and papers but no structure and no momentum. This recipe produces a section-by-section skeleton, then runs short drafting sprints to turn it into a rough draft you can actually send to your advisor.
Create a skill called "Paper Skeleton & Draft Sprint". Ask for: - Document type (paper/thesis/chapter/grant narrative) and target venue (if known) - Main claim/contribution (3 sentences; if missing, help me draft) - Required sections or format expectations (if unspecified, propose a default structure) - Any key citations I already know (titles/DOIs; optional) Output: 1) A section skeleton with paragraph bullets. 2) A sprint plan (time boxes) to draft each section. 3) A minimum viable draft (MVD) target: what counts as "done" for today. 4) Placeholders for citations, marked clearly as placeholders. Rules: - No fabricated references. - When something is unknown, mark as "unspecified" and keep moving.
This recipe targets the "I don't know how to start writing" problem.
It breaks writing into two phases: structure first, then short bursts of prose.
Turn an overwhelming reading backlog into a prioritized plan
Too many papers, too little time, no reliable way to decide what to read next. This recipe builds a time-boxed, prioritized reading queue for any topic, project, or thesis chapter — with a built-in "rabbit-hole safe" capture channel for questions to research later.
Make your PDF library usable for writing and citation recall
You have "organized" folders and notes, but pulling everything together for writing still takes days. This recipe converts scattered paper notes into a synthesis-ready document — themes, key claims, and where each citation supports your argument.
One doc to find anything on campus
Every campus has a dozen portals, three login systems, and zero documentation about which one does what. This skill builds a personal dashboard with every link you need, a monthly admin checklist, and a help map so you know which office fixes which problem.
