What it does
Master Thesis Review is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Generate master's thesis review reports (硕士论文评阅意见) calibrated to a given score. Outputs academic evaluation and shortcomings/suggestions in Chinese. Trigger when user says "master thesis review" / "硕士论文评阅" / "论文评阅" / "评阅意见" / "thesis review".
Its SKILL.md is about 980 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 Education, covering Essays and academic help. 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
- User says master thesis review / 硕士论文评阅 / 论文评阅 / 评阅意见 / thesis review
- Tasks that involve Essays and academic help
Example prompts
- “master thesis review”
- “硕士论文评阅”
- “thesis review”
- “/master-thesis-review”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, Bash
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Initialization
- Configuration
- Generate Review
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:
ReadWriteGlobGrepAskUserQuestionBash
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
Master Thesis Review loads about 983 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 367 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: Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, Bash
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 367 words (~983 tokens).
“This skill generates a master's thesis review report (硕士学位论文评阅意见) for a given thesis. The user provides the thesis file and a score (out of 100). The skill reads the thesis, then generates two sections calibrated to the score level.”
