Method 3 told users to symlink/copy the four skill folders into ~/.claude/skills/ and enable a toggle under Customize → Skills. That path is Claude Code's; Cowork does not read it, so the skills never appeared (reported in discussion #306). PR #307's "verified" root cause was incorrect. Verified first-hand against the on-disk skill store: Cowork loads skills uploaded via Settings → Capabilities → Skills, each as its own zip, registered by a server-issued skill ID. Uploading deep-research this way installs cleanly with the full description intact and /deep-research in the palette. - Rewrite Method 3 in SETUP.md + SETUP.zh-TW.md: zip-per-skill build + Settings upload + use + the orchestration trade-off vs Claude Code. - Fix a stale line claiming Method 3 keeps orchestration intact. - Fix QUICKSTART wording that listed Cowork next to ~/.claude/skills/. - EN/zh-TW H4 structure kept in parity.

Quick Start
Get from zero to your first AI-assisted research in 3 steps.
Step 1: Install
# Install Claude Code
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
# Clone this repo somewhere stable
git clone https://github.com/Imbad0202/academic-research-skills.git ~/academic-research-skills
# Install each of the four skills into your project's .claude/skills/
cd /path/to/your/project
mkdir -p .claude/skills
ln -s ~/academic-research-skills/deep-research .claude/skills/deep-research
ln -s ~/academic-research-skills/academic-paper .claude/skills/academic-paper
ln -s ~/academic-research-skills/academic-paper-reviewer .claude/skills/academic-paper-reviewer
ln -s ~/academic-research-skills/academic-pipeline .claude/skills/academic-pipeline
Each skill must sit at .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md for Claude Code to discover it. See docs/SETUP.md for the copy-based alternative, global ~/.claude/skills/ install, and the other installation methods (Claude Code plugin, Cowork via zip upload, claude.ai). Note that Cowork and claude.ai do not read ~/.claude/skills/ — they install skills through their own settings upload, not this path.
Step 2: Launch
claude
Step 3: Start researching
Tell Claude what you want to do. It will automatically pick the right skill and mode.
Example: Guided research (Socratic mode)
You: "I have a vague idea about AI's impact on higher education quality assurance,
but I'm not sure how to frame the research question. Can you guide me?"
Claude will enter Socratic mode — asking questions to help you clarify your thinking, not giving you answers directly. After 5-15 rounds of dialogue, you'll have a focused research question and methodology direction.
Example: Write a paper
You: "Help me write a paper about the impact of declining birth rates
on private universities in Taiwan"
Example: Review an existing paper
You: "Review this paper" (then paste or attach the paper)
Example: Full pipeline (research → write → review → revise → publish)
You: "I want to produce a complete research paper about how agentic AI
is reshaping student learning outcome measurement"
This triggers the full 10-stage pipeline. Budget ~$4-6 in API costs and 2-4 hours of collaborative work.
Which mode should I use?
| I want to... | Use this |
|---|---|
| Explore a vague idea | deep-research socratic mode — just describe your interest |
| Get a quick literature summary | deep-research quick mode |
| Do a systematic review (PRISMA) | deep-research systematic-review mode |
| Write a paper from scratch | academic-paper full mode |
| Plan a paper chapter by chapter | academic-paper plan mode |
| Get my paper reviewed | academic-paper-reviewer full mode |
| Do everything end-to-end | academic-pipeline — say "I want a complete research paper" |
