What it does

Oral Paper Skill is an agent skill from Adkid-Zephyr/oral-paper-skill. Help authors learn from exemplary ICLR, ICML, and NeurIPS papers through source-linked manuscript comparisons, concrete writing and experiment suggestions, and guided reflection. Use for research storytelling, contribution framing, paper comparison, figure planning, or research retrospectives. Not an acceptance predictor or a routine grammar/citation formatter.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/abstract-derived-practices.md` and `references/archetypes.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Linting and formatting, Storytelling and Retrospectives. The repository describes itself as: 向顶会优秀论文学科研|Oral Paper Skill — 从 883 篇 Oral 论文摘要中“蒸馏”共通做法,用于论文对照改进与学习复盘 · Skill + prompt pack (CN/EN). Learn from 883 Oral paper abstracts to improve your research and writing.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2c4bc4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Oral Paper Skill loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,006 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,006 words (~1,923 tokens).

“Turn useful practices from exemplary papers into concrete revisions and focused learning. Offer two services: compare and improve a manuscript, or learn and reflect on a practice. Preserve the author's research purpose and judgment.”
