What it does

Typst Paper is an agent skill from bahayonghang/academic-writing-skills. Typst paper assistant for existing .typ manuscripts in English or Chinese. Use for compile/export diagnosis, venue formatting, BibTeX/Hayagriva checks, grammar, logic, abstract/title, tables, pseudocode, related work, research-gap framing, adaptation, de-AI polish, translation, and submission readiness; use LaTeX skills for .tex.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 91 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `evals/evals.json` and `evals/fixtures/refs.yml`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX, Citation management and Literature review. 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

  • Compile/export diagnosis
  • Venue formatting
  • BibTeX/Hayagriva checks
  • Research-gap framing

Example prompts

  • “/typst-paper”

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.

  1. Parse $ARGUMENTS, infer the active module, and keep that inference unless the user changes the target.
  2. Read only the reference file needed for that module, then run its script with uv run python ... (for multiple concerns, follow the routing…
  3. Return Typst-ready comments and next actions.

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:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash(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

Typst Paper loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~57k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,380 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~57k

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 1,380 words (~3,648 tokens).

“Use this skill for targeted work on an existing Typst paper project. Route requests to the smallest useful module and keep outputs compatible with Typst source review.”
