SHL0MS b86647c295 Replace ml-paper-writing with research-paper-writing: full research pipeline skill
Replaces the writing-focused ml-paper-writing skill (940 lines) with a
complete end-to-end research paper pipeline (1,599 lines SKILL.md + 3,184
lines across 7 reference files).

New content:
- Full 8-phase pipeline: project setup, literature review, experiment
  design, execution/monitoring, analysis, paper drafting, review/revision,
  submission preparation
- Iterative refinement strategy guide from autoreason research (when to use
  autoreason vs critique-and-revise vs single-pass, model selection)
- Hermes agent integration: delegate_task parallel drafting, cronjob
  monitoring, memory/todo state management, skill composition
- Professional LaTeX tooling: microtype, siunitx, TikZ diagram patterns,
  algorithm2e, subcaption, latexdiff, SciencePlots
- Human evaluation design: annotation protocols, inter-annotator agreement,
  crowdsourcing platforms
- Title, Figure 1, conclusion, appendix strategy, page budget management
- Anonymization checklist, rebuttal writing, camera-ready preparation
- AAAI and COLM venue coverage (checklists, reviewer guidelines)

Preserved from ml-paper-writing:
- All writing philosophy (Nanda, Farquhar, Gopen & Swan, Lipton, Perez)
- Citation verification workflow (5-step mandatory process)
- All 6 conference templates (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, COLM)
- Conference requirements, format conversion workflow
- Proactivity/collaboration guidance

Bug fixes in inherited reference files:
- BibLaTeX recommendation now correctly says natbib for conferences
- Bare except clauses fixed to except Exception
- Jinja2 template tags removed from citation-workflow.md
- Stale date caveats added to reviewer-guidelines.md

*ACL Paper Styles

This directory contains the latest LaTeX templates for *ACL conferences.

Instructions for authors

Paper submissions to *ACL conferences must use the official ACL style templates.

The LaTeX style files are available

Please see acl_latex.tex for an example.

Please follow the paper formatting guidelines general to *ACL conferences:

Authors may not modify these style files or use templates designed for other conferences.

Instructions for publications chairs

To adapt the style files for your conference, please fork this repository and make necessary changes. Minimally, you'll need to update the name of the conference and rename the files.

If you make improvements to the templates that should be propagated to future conferences, please submit a pull request. Thank you in advance!

In older versions of the templates, authors were asked to fill in the START submission ID so that it would be stamped at the top of each page of the anonymized version. This is no longer needed, because it is now possible to do this stamping automatically within START. Currently, the way to do this is for the program chair to email support@softconf.com and request it.
