Skills (21)

• academic-writing

  Write or revise thesis and paper prose section by section (abstract, introduction, related work, method, results, discussion, conclusion) with the conventions of computer-science writing: claim-first paragraphs, tense and voice by section, hedging matched to evidence, signposting, defined terms, and

• benchmark-reporting

  Report computational benchmarks and experimental comparisons the way examiners and reviewers expect: fair baselines run under the same conditions, multiple seeds with variance, hardware and configuration disclosed, tables generated from result files with consistent precision and the best result mark

• bibtex-manager

  Maintain the thesis .bib file as a single source of truth: fetch verified BibTeX from a DOI, arXiv id, or title via CrossRef and arXiv, normalise citation keys (firstauthorYEARkeyword), deduplicate entries, fix fields BibTeX and biblatex care about, and export to Zotero-friendly form when the writin

• citation-graph

  Expand a set of key papers into the literature around them by walking the citation graph with the Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex APIs: backward (references), forward (citing works), and co-citation, scored by how many seeds connect to each candidate, so the papers a reviewer will expect are found eve

• citation-verifier

  Audit every citation in a chapter, paper, or proposal against the .bib file and the real world: each cite key must exist, each entry must resolve to a live DOI or arXiv record whose title, authors, and year match, and each claim attributed to a source must be supported by that source's note or text.

• design-science-methodology

  Structure a thesis whose contribution is a built artifact (tool, system, method, model) using design science research: explicit problem and requirements, knowledge base, iterative build with design decisions recorded, and a rigorous evaluation strategy (technical benchmarks, controlled use, case stu

• docx-thesis

  Write a thesis in Word without losing the discipline of a source-controlled workflow: author chapters in Markdown or LaTeX, convert with pandoc and a reference .docx that carries the department's styles, manage citations through Zotero with Better BibTeX so the .bib stays the source of truth, and ha

• experiment-reproducibility

  Make a thesis's computational experiments reproducible by the examiner and by the student three months later: pinned environments, seeded randomness, a single config per run, a run manifest that records code version, data version, parameters, hardware, and timings, results written to versioned files

• humanize

  Rewrite prose that reads as machine-generated so it reads as the writer, without changing what it says or adding any fact: removes not-X-but-Y contrasts, one-line closers, staged openers, forced triads, dash overuse, stacked hedges, inflated significance, stock AI vocabulary, decorative bold and hea

• latex-toolkit

  Set up, build, and debug a LaTeX thesis: project layout with one file per chapter, latexmk builds, biblatex or natbib bibliography wiring, university template adoption, compile-error diagnosis from the .log (undefined control sequence, missing $, overfull boxes, undefined citations), cross-reference

• lit-review-synthesis

  Build a literature review as an argument from paper-reader notes: cluster the notes into themes, surface agreements, tensions, and methodological patterns, locate the gap the thesis fills, and draft the review chapter so that each paragraph advances a claim rather than summarising one paper. Every c

• literature-search

  Find the literature for a research question by querying OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, and CrossRef from the shell with curl (no keys, no MCP), deduplicating by DOI, ranking by relevance, citations, and recency, and producing a reading list with verified identifiers ready for paper-reader and bi

• paper-reader

  Read one paper (PDF, arXiv id, DOI, or text) and produce a structured note: the claim, method, evidence, limitations, how it relates to the student's research question, and quotable passages with locations, so that lit-review-synthesis can build an argument from many notes. Use when working through

• proofread-academic

  Proofread a thesis chapter or paper against a checklist of the errors examiners and reviewers actually flag: structure and signposting, undefined acronyms, notation and terminology consistency, figure and table references, numbers and statistics reporting (n, variance, p, effect sizes), citation pla

• research-figures

  Produce publication-grade figures for a thesis or paper from result data: matplotlib with a consistent, colour-blind-safe style file, vector output sized to the text width, one figure per claim, variance shown, direct labels over legends, and captions that carry the argument; plus TikZ for architect

• research-methodology

  Choose and justify a research design for each research question: controlled experiment, quasi-experiment, case study, survey, interview study, design science, action research, or mixed methods, with the data collection, sampling, analysis, ethics, and validity threats each entails, and write the met

• research-question

  Turn a rough thesis topic into a defensible research question by interviewing the student one question at a time: narrowing scope, naming the gap, fixing the unit of analysis, and testing the question for answerability, novelty, and fit to a master's timeline. Use when starting a thesis or paper, wh

• statistics-advisor

  Plan and check the statistics for an empirical study: choose the test from the design and data type, check assumptions and pick the robust alternative, compute sample size from a target effect, report effect sizes and confidence intervals alongside p-values, handle multiple comparisons, and write th

• supervisor-update

  Turn the research log and recent work into a concise supervisor update or meeting agenda: progress since the last meeting with evidence, decisions taken and their reasons, results with numbers, blockers with the specific help needed, and the next steps with dates, in under a page. Use before a super

• systematic-review

  Run a systematic literature review or mapping study to the PRISMA 2020 standard: protocol with research questions and inclusion criteria written before searching, reproducible search strings per database, screening with recorded reasons for exclusion, a PRISMA flow diagram with counts, quality asses

• thesis-proposal

  Draft or revise a master's thesis proposal from a research question record, reading notes, and the department's template: problem statement, gap, research questions, method, evaluation, timeline, risks, and a chapter plan, in the student's own claims with citations only to sources they actually have

Slash commands (3)

• /thesis:research-log

  Append a dated entry to the thesis research log (RESEARCH_LOG.md) recording what was read, done, decided, and what comes next, pulling the day's evidence from git history, new reading notes, and the conversation, so progress is never reconstructed from memory before a supervisor meeting. Use at the

• /thesis:thesis-chapter

  Draft or revise one thesis chapter from the outline, the research question record, the reading notes, and the results, applying the academic-writing skill section by section and finishing with citation verification and a humanize pass, so a chapter arrives structured, traceable, and free of invented

• /thesis:thesis-progress

  Report where the thesis stands in numbers: word count per chapter against the plan, placeholders left ([[FILL]], [[CITE]], [[FIG]]), citation health (cited keys, undefined keys, unverifiable entries), notes read versus reading list, open items in the research log, and days to the next deadline. Use

Subagents (2)

• paper-critic

  Use this agent to read one paper adversarially: it separates what the paper claims from what its evidence supports, finds methodological holes (weak baselines, unfair comparisons, leakage, missing variance, cherry-picked settings), checks whether the conclusions follow, and returns a critique the st

• thesis-reviewer

  Use this agent to get an examiner's read of a thesis chapter or full draft before the supervisor or committee sees it: it checks whether the research questions are answered by the evidence, whether the contribution is clear and honestly sized, whether the method supports the claims (validity threats
