In plain English

This repository is a collection of ready-to-use AI prompts specifically designed to help researchers write and polish academic papers more efficiently. The problem it solves is that crafting the right instructions for an AI writing assistant, what researchers call "prompts", takes time and trial and error. Top research labs reportedly maintain private libraries of these prompts, and this project aims to make a comparable toolkit freely available to everyone. The collection is organized into two main parts. The first is a prompt library covering common writing tasks: translating Chinese drafts to polished academic English (and vice versa), condensing text, expanding text, polishing expression in both English and Chinese papers, checking logic, removing AI-sounding phrasing from LaTeX documents, generating figure and table captions, analyzing experiments, and reviewing a paper from a peer reviewer's perspective. The second part covers using AI "agent skills", more automated workflows, for writing-related tasks, including a companion tool for translating ArXiv papers directly from their LaTeX source code. You would use this resource when working on an academic paper and wanting to paste a section of text into an AI chat interface to quickly translate, condense, expand, or refine it without having to craft your own instructions from scratch. Each prompt is designed to be copied directly and used as-is. The project is written and maintained primarily in Chinese and targets researchers working in computer science, though the prompts themselves cover both Chinese and English academic writing. The full README is longer than what was provided.
