Academic Research Skills for Claude Code: research → write → review → revise → finalize
Academic Research Skills is a multi-agent skill suite for Claude Code that automates the full academic publishing pipeline—from literature research through peer review to final publication. The toolkit deploys 13 research agents, 12 writing agents, 7 review agents, and a 10-stage pipeline orchestrator with integrity verification gates. It emphasizes human-in-the-loop collaboration rather than full automation, catching citation hallucinations, statistical errors, and fabricated references through adversarial cross-model verification and claim-level audit passes.
Key Features

Which AI clients support this skill suite?+
Primarily Claude Code (CLI, VS Code, JetBrains). Skills can also be imported into Claude Science as point-in-time snapshots, or installed in Pi via the community wrapper, or used in Codex CLI via the sibling distribution academic-research-skills-codex.
Do I need API keys or external services?+
You need an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for Claude. Optional: OpenAI API key for cross-model verification, Semantic Scholar API (free) for citation validation, Pandoc for DOCX export, and Tectonic with Source Han Serif TC for APA 7.0 PDF rendering.
Is it free to use?+
The skill suite is free and open-source under CC-BY-NC 4.0 (non-commercial use with attribution). You pay only for the Anthropic API usage; a full 15,000-word paper pipeline costs approximately $4–6 in API tokens.
Does it write papers for me automatically?+
No. It requires human decisions at every stage checkpoint and won't bypass integrity gates without recorded rationale. The tool handles reference hunting, citation formatting, consistency checks, and peer-review simulation while you define the research question, interpret results, and make all substantive writing choices.
