When your agent uses it

  • Check citations
  • Convert to LaTeX
  • Revision roadmap

Example prompts

  • “/academic-paper”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Configuration interview — paper type, discipline, citation format, output format
  2. Literature search — systematic search strategy, source screening
  3. Architecture design — paper structure, outline, word count allocation
  4. Argumentation construction — claim-evidence chains, logical flow
  5. Full-text drafting — section-by-section draft, register adjustment
  6. Citation compliance + bilingual abstract (parallel)
  7. Peer review — five-dimension scoring, revision suggestions
  8. Output formatting — LaTeX/DOCX/PDF/Markdown

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. 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.

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Academic Paper loads about 7.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~48k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 179 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,155 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~179
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~48k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,155 words (~7,349 tokens).

“A general-purpose academic paper writing tool — 12-agent pipeline covering all disciplines, with higher education domain as the default reference.”
