This guide provides expert guidelines for designing high-impact, concise figures specifically for academic publications with strict length limits (e.g., PRL). It emphasizes that every figure must convey a single, central result at a glance. The strategy covers lead figure principles, print standards (single-column legibility, color-blind safety), and panel discipline to ensure maximum clarity and minimal word count consumption.

This guide details best practices for creating high-impact tables and figures for psychological science manuscripts, adhering to APA 7th edition guidelines. It emphasizes showing effect sizes, uncertainty (like confidence intervals), and embedding visuals directly within the main text near their first discussion, moving beyond traditional end-of-document placement. It covers data visualization principles and manuscript triage.

This guide outlines the rigorous standards required for submitting top-tier academic papers, such as those for ACM SIGCOMM. It instructs authors on how to transition from general claims to highly evidence-based arguments by focusing on measured operational pain, defining design principles, and pairing every performance claim with concrete testbed, trace, or deployment evidence. Essential for researchers in networking and systems.

A comprehensive guide for authors revising high-stakes academic papers, such as those for SOSP. It teaches how to shift focus from merely listing features to articulating core design principles, building a compelling 'Problem-to-Insight' arc, and structuring evidence-based arguments within strict length constraints. Essential for academic researchers and technical writers.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to high-impact scientific journals. It outlines the essential principles for structuring experiments and presenting evidence, emphasizing claims-evidence matching, fair benchmarking, differentiating result sources (simulation, hardware, theory), and ensuring statistical rigor. Covers best practices across computer science, control, communication, and microelectronics.

A comprehensive guide for designing and building large-scale, resilient platforms using the evolutionary modular monolith approach. It enforces strong logical boundaries using DDD principles (bounded contexts, flat-by-aggregate) and implements necessary patterns like Anti-Corruption Layers and transactional outboxes. Use this when defining a system's structure, choosing between monolith and microservices, or ensuring robust decoupling from external vendors (e.g., ERP, AI).

A comprehensive assistant designed to analyze existing codebases for adherence to SOLID principles, common code smells, and complexity metrics. It identifies anti-patterns like tight coupling, excessive responsibility, and duplication, providing prioritized, actionable refactoring suggestions to improve code maintainability and quality.

A sophisticated, multi-agent system designed to perform deep, comprehensive code reviews on pull requests. It covers core elements like code quality, functionality, security vulnerabilities, and testing coverage. Advanced features include detecting scope drift, enforcing SOLID principles, identifying DRY violations, and providing anti-hallucination safeguards for maintain high software integrity.

An advanced tool that audits legal documents (such as contracts, NDAs, or policies) against established legal design principles. It scores the text across six pillars: language patterns, readability metrics (Flesch, LIX, etc.), structure, hidden clauses, statutory duplication, and visual hierarchy. It provides a non-rewriting assessment report to help users understand the clarity, complexity, and compliance risk of their legal drafting.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and building playable game levels. This skill focuses on the engine-neutral process of blockout (whitebox/greybox), defining player metrics, pacing the experience (tension/rest curve), and mapping the critical path. It ensures that gameplay flow and mechanics are validated long before any final art or details are applied.

This skill enables applying John Ousterhout's design principles to reduce complexity in software systems. It guides decisions on module boundaries, API design, information hiding, and abstraction depth. Use it when refactoring shallow interfaces or managing cognitive load during development. Ideal for architects and senior engineers optimizing system structure and ensuring maintainable codebases through proper abstraction layers.

Apply Robert C. Martin-inspired rules to separate business policy from frameworks, databases, UI, and infrastructure. This skill helps define architectural boundaries, dependency direction, use cases, and interface adapters. Use it for software design decisions involving framework isolation or technology churn to ensure maintainability and clarity.
