alterlab-scientific-writing
alterlab-scientific-writing is an Academic writing & papers skill for AI agents, published by AlterLab-IEU in the AlterLab-Academic-Skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates alterlab-scientific-writing B (81/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Writes scientific manuscripts in full flowing paragraphs (never bullet points) via a two-stage process — section outlines with key points using research-lookup, then conversion to prose — applying IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, and reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA). Use when drafting or revising research papers, journal submissions, or any manuscript section (abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion), or professional/technical reports. For a specific venue's LaTeX template and house style use alterlab-venue-templates; to build a BibTeX bibliography or verify reference metadata use alterlab-citation-mgmt. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Unproven: rated by static analysis only, not yet compared head-to-head.
Not launch-quality. It is graded B with a clean safety verdict, but our quality filters exclude it: it is a near-duplicate variant of another skill. So it is not in our launch-quality set, the skills our MCP server searches and recommends. How launch-quality is decided
