What it does
Draft Section is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Drafts academic prose for a manuscript section from bullet points or an outline. Use when writing or expanding a section.
Its SKILL.md is about 530 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. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…
When your agent uses it
- Expanding a section
Example prompts
- “Use the draft-section skill to draft academic prose for a manuscript section from bullet points or an outline”
- “/draft-section”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Parse the section name and content bullets/notes from the arguments.
- Read index.qmd to understand
- Read references.bib to know which citations are available for use.
- Draft 2–5 paragraphs of academic prose
- If the section matches an existing section in index.qmd (e.g., "Introduction" matches ## Introduction {#sec-introduction})
- Present the draft to the user for review. On approval, insert or replace the content in index.qmd.
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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadWriteEditGlobGrep
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
Draft Section loads about 529 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep
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 248 words (~529 tokens).
“Draft academic prose for a manuscript section from bullet points or an outline.”
