What it does
ieee-skills bundles ten skills for working on an IEEE manuscript: `ieee-summarize`, `ieee-writing`, `ieee-polishing`, `ieee-reviewer`, `ieee-experiment`, `ieee-figure-table`, `ieee-citation`, `ieee-latex`, `ieee-response` and `ieee-paper-reader`. The main flow is called IEEE SubmitCheck: a manuscript passes the route a reviewer will read it by. Output includes a rejection-risk report, a claim-and-evidence matrix, a baseline fairness check, a figure and table audit, a citation check and IEEEtran layout diagnosis. The skills are written for Codex and the README is in Chinese.
Who it is for. PhD students and engineers preparing a paper for an IEEE journal or conference who want a check before submission.
Good fit when
- A draft must be checked before submission the way a reviewer will check it.
- Experiments exist but it is unclear whether they support each claim.
- Figures and tables need fitting to the two-column IEEE format.
- Reviews arrived and a point-by-point response is prepared with edits and manuscript locations.
Not a fit when
- The work is not for IEEE, since the criteria fit its review process.
- Only a paragraph translation is needed, not a whole-paper check.
- The manuscript is confidential and cannot go to an agent.
Example request
Review my manuscript like an IEEE reviewer and build a claim-and-evidence matrix for the experiments.Limitations
The skills are written for Codex and are copied into `~/.codex/skills` by default; for another agent set the path with `--dest`. The `skills/_shared/` directory is mandatory and must not be lost when copying. Documentation is in Chinese and the focus areas are AI, communications, control, signal processing, electronics and robotics. Reports show review risks but do not guarantee acceptance. Examples in `examples/` show the output format and are not real acceptance cases.
How to disable. Delete the `ieee-*` directories and `_shared` from `~/.codex/skills` or the path given in `--dest`.
FAQ
How do I install the skills?
Clone the repository and run `bash scripts/update-codex-skills.sh` or the PowerShell version. The script copies everything into `~/.codex/skills`.
How do I install elsewhere?
Pass a path through `--dest`, for example `bash scripts/update-codex-skills.sh --dest "$HOME/.codex/skills"`. PowerShell uses `-Dest`.
How do I update?
Add `--pull` to the script: it pulls the repository and recopies the skills. Use `--check` to verify the structure.
Where do I start if materials are scattered?
With `ieee-summarize`: it gathers notes, experiment logs, code and AI conversations into one summary before writing.
What does ieee-reviewer produce?
A rejection-risk report ordered by severity: critical, major and minor. It comes with revision priorities before submission.
