What it does
Paper Writing is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Workflow 3: Full paper writing pipeline. Orchestrates paper-plan → paper-figure → paper-write → paper-compile → auto-paper-improvement-loop to go from a narrative report to a polished, submission-ready PDF. Use when user says \"写论文全流程\", \"write paper pipeline\", \"从报告到PDF\", \"paper writing\", or wants the complete paper generation workflow.
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 Research & Science, covering Scientific writing. It works with Google Gemini. 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 \写论文全流程\
- \write paper pipeline\
- \paper writing\
- Wants the complete paper generation workflow
Example prompts
- “写论文全流程\”
- “write paper pipeline\”
- “从报告到PDF\”
- “/paper-writing”
Requirements
- A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Paper Plan
- Figure Generation
- LaTeX Writing
- Compilation
- Auto Improvement Loop
- Final Report
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 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GEMINI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Paper Writing loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 951 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 951 words (~2,828 tokens).

Can I use Paper Writing in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add AI4Scientist/nano-scientist --skill paper-writing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/paper-writing, .gemini/skills/paper-writing, .github/skills/paper-writing and .opencode/skills/paper-writing in your project.
What does Paper Writing need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Paper Writing needs credentials named GEMINI_API_KEY. Our summary lists: A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY.
Does Paper Writing access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Paper Writing safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md flagged 1 warning(s): tells the agent its actions are pre-authorized / not to stop for confirmation. Read the flagged lines before installing; the check is not a guarantee either way.
What licence does Paper Writing use?
No licence was found for Paper Writing or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Paper Writing use?
About 2.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
