This guide assists researchers in transforming bloated or loosely structured academic manuscripts into the terse, plain IMRAD format required by top-tier journals like NEJM. It focuses on maximizing clarity, enforcing claim-first results based on statistical evidence, curbing over-stated clinical implications, and ensuring the discussion explicitly covers limitations and necessary scope restriction.

This comprehensive guide outlines best practices for designing rigorous and convincing technical evaluations for networked systems. It structures the process by requiring experiments to answer specific questions, advising authors to climb the evidence ladder from synthetic benchmarks to real-world deployment. Key concepts include reporting tail latencies (p99), establishing strong baselines, and maintaining meticulous provenance records to ensure reproducibility.

A comprehensive guide detailing the cyclical workflow for major academic conferences (e.g., NSDI). It helps research teams strategically plan multi-year projects, managing multiple submission gates (Spring/Fall), revisions, and long waiting periods. Essential for structuring research efforts and avoiding common pitfalls like double-submission or missed deadlines.

officecli is a robust, dependency-free CLI tool designed for working with Microsoft Office formats (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx). It allows users to programmatically create, analyze, modify, and extract structured data from complex documents, enabling advanced content manipulation, schema validation, and automated workflows entirely from the command line.

This skill provides a scholarly layer on top of standard Word document generation. It is designed to create highly formal academic papers (theses, journal articles, conference papers) adhering to strict style guides like APA, MLA, Chicago, and IEEE. Key features include managing complex citation styles, handling numbered equations, generating live cross-references (figures, tables), and implementing multi-column journal layouts.

Build a multi-element Excel dashboard from CSV or tabular data: a Dashboard sheet with formula-driven KPI cards, multiple cell-range charts, sparklines, and conditional formatting, output as a single .xlsx file.

A powerful command-line interface (CLI) tool for comprehensive management of Microsoft Word (.docx) documents. It supports the entire document lifecycle, including creating complex reports, extracting data, editing content, and modifying structural elements like headers, footers, and tables. Designed for programmatic use, it enforces professional document standards such as clear heading hierarchies and standardized formatting.

This skill is designed for building complex, audit-ready financial models in Excel. Use it for 3-statement projections, DCF valuation, LBO analysis, unit economics, or advanced scenario planning. It enforces professional standards like the three-zone architecture (Inputs, Calculation, Outputs), strict formula discipline, and robust auditing gates, ensuring the output is suitable for high-stakes decision-making.

This specialized skill is designed for creating investor pitch decks for various funding rounds (Seed, Series A/B/C). It builds upon standard presentation rules, adding critical VC-focused constraints such as stage-appropriate metrics, the canonical narrative arc (Problem -> Solution -> Market -> Ask), and finance-grade number conventions. Use this only when actively raising capital, not for general reviews.

A comprehensive CLI skill for managing PowerPoint presentations (.pptx). This tool allows users to create, read, parse, edit, split, or combine slide decks programmatically. Beyond basic file manipulation, it enforces professional design standards, ensuring every output deck adheres to best practices regarding text hierarchy, visual components, and content density, making it ideal for automated report generation and pitch deck creation.

Build fillable Word .docx forms using real Content Controls (SDT), legacy FormField checkboxes, MERGEFIELD mail-merge placeholders and document protection, so only designated fields stay editable while the rest is locked.

This skill guide teaches how to use a CLI tool to programmatically create, modify, and validate complex Excel (.xlsx) files. It covers everything from building robust financial models and dashboards to parsing raw data and ensuring the output adheres to professional standards, including zero formula errors and proper print layouts. Ideal for data engineering and business intelligence workflows.
