Common conventions for writing Markdown documents that cite external sources (survey reports, paper explainers, and any deliverable that surfaces facts from outside). Defines mandatory citation, in-text reference format, quotation-versus-prose separation, the ban on fabricated associations, and the source-list format. Referenced by survey, paper-details, and any skill that produces sourced output.

English

Produce a detailed Markdown explainer of an academic paper. The skill aims for faithful description, not critical review. Section structure mirrors the original paper, equations render as LaTeX with variable tables, citations to the paper under review use position only, and citations to other works use author-short form. Use when the user asks for a detailed paper write-up, a thorough paper explainer, or invokes "paper details". Depends on documenting-with-sources and writing-quotation.

English

Formatting rules for quoting external sources (papers, articles, web pages, prompt templates) inside a Markdown document. Quotations always live in fenced code blocks (never the > blockquote syntax), original and translation sit together, source references go on the line after the fence, and bare numeric references like [1] are forbidden. Other sourced-writing skills (survey, paper-details, ...) reference this skill. Consult whenever you write or edit a quotation block.

English

Includes Documenting with Sources, Paper Details, and Writing Quotation.
