Simulated-audience Q&A rehearsal for conference talks, thesis defenses, job talks, and poster sessions. Use when a researcher says "rehearse Q&A", "practice questions", "mock Q&A", "grill me on my paper", "what will the audience ask", "hostile questions", "defense practice", "viva prep", "anticipate questions for my talk", or "questions I hope nobody asks". Sizes a drill to the real Q&A slot, fires hostile and curious questions one at a time in audience personas (hostile skeptic, methods stickler, statistician, adjacent-field expert, big-picture senior, confused newcomer, industry practitioner, self-promoter, rambler) calibrated to the venue family, mines the paper for dreaded weak-point questions, coaches concise answer-first responses, and grades transcripts deterministically for timing, hedging, filler, and buried answers. Coaches honest answers only — never spin — and never invents prior-work citations in drill questions.
Studies exemplar papers from a target venue and produces an original style-and-structure brief — fetches best-paper awardees and top-cited papers on demand (DBLP, Semantic Scholar, Unpaywall, arXiv, open-access ACM DL) and analyzes section architecture, contribution framing, evaluation patterns, and figure/table conventions. Use when the user wants to study best papers or award-winning papers at a venue, find the most-cited papers and how they are structured, learn how successful papers at a conference are written ("what do winning SIGSPATIAL papers look like", "analyze NeurIPS best papers before I draft"), or model a draft on a venue's strongest work. Copyright-safe by design - papers are fetched from legal open-access sources and processed transiently, never bundled, stored, or committed; the output is metadata plus original analysis. Trigger words - exemplar, best paper, award-winning, most cited, top cited, model paper, venue style, paper structure.
Creates and checks conference research posters and short poster-session pitches. Use when the user asks to make a poster, prepare a research poster, adapt a paper into a poster, fit a poster to A0/A1/36x48in, check a beamerposter or tikzposter file, reuse paper figures, or write a 2-minute or 5-minute poster pitch. Bundled scripts resolve poster dimensions, inventory reusable figures, lint print-day problems, and time spoken pitches.
Helps a paper hit its target length: recommends exactly what to compress when it is over the page limit, or what to add with substance when it is too short. Use when a researcher says "I'm over the page limit", "compress my paper", "what should I cut", "trim two pages", "my paper is too long", "help me fit NeurIPS's limit", "my paper is too short", "I have space left, what should I add", or "where is all my length going". Runs a section-by-section length analysis, then gives a prioritized, value-aware plan: which low-value sections to condense or move to an appendix, while protecting contributions, results, and citations, or which thin sections to develop. Never deletes evidence to fit and never pads to fill. Trigger words: page limit, compress, trim, cut down, too long, too short, over the limit, fit the limit, what to cut, what to add.
One consolidated read on how good a paper is right now — top strengths, biggest risks, scores, and what to do next — by running the compliance, integrity, citation, conformance, and mock-review skills and summarizing them in one Paper Health Report. Use when a researcher asks "how good is my paper", "is my paper ready", "what are the strengths and weaknesses of my paper", "give me an overall assessment", "review my whole paper", "what should I improve first", or "what's the state of my paper". Orchestrates preflight-check, verify-citations, check-originality, benchmark-paper, and simulate-reviewers, then summarizes them in plain language with strengths first, a prioritized fix list, and an honest readiness read — never a prediction of acceptance. Trigger words - how good is my paper, paper health, overall assessment, is it ready, strengths and weaknesses, what to improve, paper report, assess my paper.
Builds a backwards submission timeline from a conference deadline - days remaining (AoE-aware), abstract-registration offsets, author-list freeze, OpenReview/CMT/EasyChair/HotCRP/PCS account lead times and per-system steps, supplementary-material and code size limits, reciprocal-reviewing duties, and a dual-submission audit. Use when the user wants to plan a submission, asks how long until a deadline, mentions abstract registration, submission checklist, deadline countdown, "what do I need before the NeurIPS/ICML/CHI deadline", or asks what happens after submitting (rebuttal window, notification, camera-ready). Phase-aware - produces pre-submission, under-review, and camera-ready plans from venues/ profiles and flags overdue steps.
Drafts peer-review rebuttals and author responses in the three real venue formats - (a) strict one-page LaTeX rebuttal PDFs (CVPR-style), (b) OpenReview threaded per-review replies under 10,000-character budgets (NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR), and (c) revise-and-resubmit packages with a change-log response document (CHI, SIGMOD/ICDE revision rounds, journals). Anchors every response to paper sections, tables, figures, and line numbers; enforces character/page budgets and point-by-point coverage with bundled checker scripts; ships a one-page rebuttal LaTeX template. Use when the user says "write my rebuttal", "respond to reviewers", "author response", "reviews came back", "reviewer 2 says", "revise and resubmit", "response letter", "rebuttal deadline", or needs to fit a response into an OpenReview character limit or a one-page PDF. Drafts files on disk only; never posts, uploads, or submits.
Audit load-bearing paper claims against evidence in results, tables, figures, experiments, or citations. Use for claim audits, overclaiming checks, first or state-of-the-art claims, significant-result wording, prose-table number mismatches, and camera-ready or rebuttal evidence checks.
Parses a conference Call for Papers (CFP) URL into a machine-checkable requirements card - deadlines with timezone (AoE vs local), per-track page limits including/excluding references, single/double/triple-blind level, exact LaTeX template invocation, LLM/AI-use policy, rebuttal format, and submission system (OpenReview, CMT, EasyChair, HotCRP, PCS) - emitted as a year-versioned venue-profile YAML conforming to venues/schema.yml. Use when the user shares a CFP or author-instructions URL, asks what a venue's submission requirements, deadlines, page limits, or anonymity rules are, or wants a venue profile under venues/conferences/ created or refreshed for a new submission cycle.
Aligns a draft to a target writing voice — the author's own previous papers, a target venue's published style, or both — so it reads as consistent, native to the venue, and unmistakably the author's. Use when a researcher says "make this match my other papers", "use my usual writing style", "make it sound like my group's work", "match the style of this venue", "align terminology with my prior work", or "make my co-authored draft read consistently". Extracts a measurable style signature (terminology, sentence rhythm, hedging, connective habits, structure) from a corpus the author supplies, diffs the draft against it, and drives a section-by-section alignment that never changes a technical claim, number, or citation. Only the author's own papers and open-access venue exemplars are used; nothing copyrighted is bundled. Trigger words - match my style, my writing voice, sound like my papers, venue style, consistent terminology, align voice, my group's style.
Structured intake — practice-area templates, cross-area issue spotting, conflict flags, and triage classification. Produces a formatted case summary the student analyzes and the professor reviews. Does NOT decide case acceptance. Use when starting a new client intake, running an intake interview, or writing up a new client's situation.
Builds a ranked venue shortlist for a research paper. Use when the user asks where to submit, which conference or journal to target, venue selection, track selection, or mentions CORE rank, h5-index, acceptance rate, CCF class, or submission deadlines. Maps the paper's topic and contribution type (method, system, dataset, demo, vision, industrial, survey) to venue-track pairs scored on topic fit, track fit, prestige signals, and deadline proximity computed from the machine-readable venues/ profiles — with mandatory re-verification of deadlines and page limits against each live CFP before the user relies on them.
