Statistical Writing (One Skill)
This is a single "workbench" skill for statistical manuscripts written in LaTeX.
Guidance is split into focused references under references/. Deterministic checks live in scripts/. Ready-to-use templates live in assets/.
Positioning: Hybrid + JDS profile
Default behavior is journal-agnostic. For Journal of Data Science (JDS), apply the JDS profile:
Maintain strong literature positioning and explicit novelty.
Require clean cross-referencing and cleaned BibTeX.
Prefer vector graphics for figures in the manuscript.
Enable line numbers for review drafts.
Include reproducibility artifacts (code/data/supplement) when possible.
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user wants to:
Generate compliant front matter (title, abstract, keywords).
Expand outlines into complete sections in LaTeX.
Audit a manuscript for structure, style, references, and reproducibility quality.
This skill covers academic journal submission, referee responses, and revision management. Use when the user is preparing a manuscript for submission, formatting for a specific journal, responding to referees, or managing revisions. Triggers on "submit", "referee", "revision", "R&R", "response letter", "journal", "formatting", "submission", "resubmit", "cover letter", "referee report", "revise and resubmit".
