Scholarly

What Scholarly does

Scholarly starts by asking about your paper type, discipline, research design and citation style. It then builds each section through targeted questions: Title and Abstract, Introduction, Literature Review, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion and References. The README lists 11 core sections plus thesis-specific guidance for bachelor's, master's and doctoral work, with templates such as a 250-word abstract structure, an introduction outline, a methods sub-structure and a statistical notation guide.

It supports course papers, journal articles, conference papers, theses, dissertations and standalone literature reviews, and quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods and systematic review designs. Citation guidance covers APA 7th, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE and Vancouver. The repository contains a README, a SKILL.md and a references folder of templates. The README says any agent framework that reads SKILL.md from a skills directory can use it, and it gives copy commands for OpenClaw and WorkBuddy, Claude Code and Cursor. The repository is also tagged for Hermes Agent.
