极致轻量｜阻止论文的防御性写作 | Anti-defensive writing for academic papers — 学术写作原则 Skill + prompt pack (CN/EN)
Anti-defensive writing is a lightweight agent skill and prompt pack that trains AI assistants to revise academic papers by eliminating defensive language patterns. Designed for researchers who want AI writing tools to focus on strengths rather than preemptively apologizing for limitations, it enforces twelve rules that treat papers as academic product launches instead of project reports. Available in both Chinese and English, it works as either a copy-paste prompt for any AI chat or as a structured skill for Claude Code, Cursor, and similar agent platforms.
