What it does
Cover Letter is an agent skill from bahayonghang/academic-writing-skills. Submission cover-letter assistant for existing LaTeX manuscripts. Use to generate, optimize, align-check, preflight, and journal-fit-check cover letters against paper evidence, novelty claims, and target venue expectations. Also handles Chinese requests (写投稿信 / 致编辑信). Do not use for editing main.tex, full manuscript audit, bibliography search, or a job-application 求职信.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 57 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/claims_evidence_reviewer_agent.md`, `agents/committee_editor_agent.md` and `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Resume and CV writing and LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered post-writing toolkit for academic papers — format validation, grammar/style polishing, de-AI editing, reference checking, and reviewer-style paper audits. 5 skills for…
When your agent uses it
- Journal-fit-check cover letters against paper evidence
- Target venue expectations
- Editing main.tex
- Full manuscript audit
Example prompts
- “/cover-letter”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Bash(uv *)
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Parse $ARGUMENTS; prefer explicit --mode. If the user did not name a mode, infer only when unambiguous: manuscript-only → generate; letter…
- Run the Module Router command for the active mode, then follow the per-mode phase steps in references/MODE_GUIDE.md (inputs, which…
- When a script fails, stop the current mode, report the exact command + exit code, and recommend the next smallest useful fallback.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1689d44. 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:
ReadGlobGrepBash(uv *)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Cover Letter loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,152 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 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,152 words (~2,836 tokens).
“Generate, optimize, align-check, journal-fit-check, and pre-submission-check a submission cover letter using the user's existing LaTeX manuscript as the evidence source. The core differentiating capability is align-check: every claim the letter makes must trace to visible manuscript evidence; generation and optimization…”
