Pre-Preprints Repository

This repository contains draft research papers shared prior to formal submission to arXiv.

What Are "Pre-Preprints"?

These are early, in-progress versions of my research papers. I'm sharing them openly for:

• Rapid idea dissemination
• Early feedback from colleagues
• Collaboration opportunities
• Transparency in my research process

⚠️ Important: These are unreviewed drafts that will contain errors, incomplete sections, and will change significantly before final submission.

Repository Structure

Each paper is organized in its own folder: YYYYMMDD_LastName_FI_ShortTitle/

Codex Skills

This repository also includes a shareable Codex skill used in the research workflow:

• skills/self-drive-research-loop/: an auditable iterative research-loop skill with round ledgers, failed-route guardrails, and handoff prompts.

To install it locally:

./install_self_drive_skill.sh

The workflow review and install note is in skills/self-drive-research-loop/docs/self_drive_skill_review.md.
