Five stations, four arrows

Research runs in a loop. The description draws it as a straight line.

The pipeline is spelled out with arrows: research, write, review, revise, finalize. Every arrow points forward. The one arrow nobody draws is the return leg from revise back to review, which is where most of the real work happens.

The pipeline, exactly as the description writes it

five stations, source order
research
station 01
write
station 02
review
station 03
revise
station 04
finalize
station 05
the leg the sentence does not draw revise back to review loop not published

Naming the stations is the product

A skill pack that names five stages commits to five separate prompts with handoffs between them, which is a stronger promise than one skill that does research.

Review sits before revise

Putting review ahead of revise says the critique step comes from outside the writing step. That ordering is the interesting design decision in the sentence.

What is not on this page

No skill file list, no citation format, no field of study, no iteration count. The trending description names none of it.

Concept mock, not affiliated with the project. The GitHub Trending description on 2 September 2026 reads "Academic Research Skills for Claude Code: research, write, review, revise, finalize." The five stations are those five words in that order. The amber return leg is drawn dashed and labelled loop not published, because that arrow appears nowhere in the source line and no iteration behaviour is claimed here.
