What it does
Overleaf Sync is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Two-way sync between a local paper directory and an Overleaf project via the Overleaf Git bridge (Premium feature). Lets you keep ARIS audit/edit workflows on the local copy while collaborators edit in the Overleaf web UI. Token never touches the agent — user does the one-time auth via macOS Keychain. Use when user says "同步 overleaf", "overleaf sync", "推送到 overleaf", "connect overleaf", "Overleaf 桥接", "pull overleaf", "push overleaf", or wants to bridge their ARIS paper directory with an Overleaf project.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Frontend development. It works with Git and macOS. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.
When your agent uses it
- User says 同步 overleaf
- Connect overleaf
- Wants to bridge their ARIS paper directory with an Overleaf project
Example prompts
- “同步 overleaf”
- “overleaf sync”
- “推送到 overleaf”
- “/overleaf-sync”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Edit, Write
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Refuses to run unless stdin/stdout are a TTY (won't run inside an agent harness)
- Reads the token from a hidden prompt (no chat history, no shell history)
- Strips the token from the remote URL immediately after cloning
- Primes the OS keychain so subsequent agent operations are auth-free
- Auto-installs a pre-commit hook in paper-overleaf/.git/hooks/ that refuses to commit any blob containing the token pattern…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash(*)ReadGrepGlobEditWrite
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitbashrsync
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
overleaf.com
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
Overleaf Sync loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,084 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: warnings
The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.
- WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:196

allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Edit, Write
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 1,084 words (~2,751 tokens).
