What it does
Paper Write is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Draft LaTeX paper section by section from an outline. Use when user says "写论文", "write paper", "draft LaTeX", "开始写", or wants to generate LaTeX content from a paper plan.
Its SKILL.md is about 7.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.
When your agent uses it
- Wants to generate LaTeX content from a paper plan
- Tasks that involve LaTeX
Example prompts
- “write paper”
- “draft LaTeX”
- “/paper-write”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Agent, WebSearch, WebFetch, mcp__codex__codex, mcp__codex__codex-reply
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Backup and Clean
- Initialize Project
- Generate math_commands.tex
- Write Each Section
- 5: Theory Paper Consistency Pass (theory papers only)
- Build Bibliography
- Scientific Writing Quality Pass (5 audit passes)
- Cross-Review with REVIEWER_MODEL
- Reverse Outline Test (from Research-Paper-Writing-Skills)
- Final Checks
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(*)ReadWriteEditGrepGlobAgentWebSearchWebFetchmcp__codex__codex
…and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curlpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
dblp.orgdoi.org
Also links to:
github.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
Paper Write loads about 7.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,805 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.

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 2,805 words (~7,214 tokens).
