Skill Snapshot

This Skill provides a systematic, top-down workflow for polishing academic papers. It works from structure to logic to expression, with user confirmation at each decision point. Expression options are drawn from reference-driven academic patterns rather than ad hoc rewrites, ensuring professional and consistent output suitable for journal submission.
Default mode: interactive.
Mode inference: "quickly" or "just fix" switches to direct. "step by step" or "逐步" confirms interactive (already default).
