research-writing-literature SKILL.md skillA

research-writing-literature from hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skill is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skill/research-writing-literature@git:20261106.a62d72e

Pins git:20261106.a62d72e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Write and revise rigorous research narratives, literature reviews, manuscript sections, citations, and figure discussions. Use for technical introductions, methods, results, discussions, review articles, abstracts, or related-work sections.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Research Writing And Literature

## Purpose

Build a research story rather than a sequence of paper summaries. Every paragraph needs a central topic, normally in its first sentence; each later sentence must develop, support, qualify, or transition from it.

When AI is used to draft or substantially revise the document, first use [author-guided-ai-writing.md](../mechanical-engineering-research/references/author-guided-ai-writing.md) to obtain an author-approved story brief and claim-evidence map. Drafting and line editing do not replace those author decisions.

Before a substantial draft or structural revision, identify the reader, the decision or scientific understanding the section must support, the evidence that carries the central claim, and what the reader should know after the section. Write the structure from that reader-to-evidence path instead of filling a generic manuscript template.

## Route To References

- For critical literature synthesis, read `references/literature-review.md`.
- For journal-paper structure and results-led storytelling, read `references/paper-writing-style.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skill/research-writing-literature@sha256:4e7d6a98a90c9666

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.a62d72e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
