What it does
Latex Paper En is an agent skill from bahayonghang/academic-writing-skills. English LaTeX assistant for existing .tex journal or conference papers. Use for compile repair, venue formatting, bibliography/citation checks, section writing, logic, related work, tables, pseudocode, de-AI polish, claim-forward (self-weakening) fixes, translation, adaptation, and submission readiness; use latex-thesis-zh for Chinese theses and paper-audit for critique.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 128 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `evals/evals.json` and `evals/fixtures/paper-project/README.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Citation management. 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
- Venue formatting
- Bibliography/citation checks
- Section writing
- Claim-forward (self-weakening) fixes
Example prompts
- “/latex-paper-en”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Bash(uv *)
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Parse $ARGUMENTS, infer the smallest matching module, and keep that inference unless the user redirects.
- Read only the reference file for that module; run its script with uv run python -B ....
- For multiple compatible concerns, run in routing order and group output by module.
- Summarize issues, fixes, and blockers in LaTeX-friendly comments; switch modules for new concerns instead of overloading one run.
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
Latex Paper En loads about 4.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~73k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,607 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 1,607 words (~4,927 tokens).
“Use this skill for targeted work on an existing English LaTeX paper project. Keep the workflow low-friction: identify the right module, run the smallest useful check, and return actionable comments in LaTeX-friendly review format.”
