What it does
Paper Audit is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Deep-review-first audit for Chinese and English academic papers across LaTeX, Typst, and PDF formats. Use whenever the user wants reviewer-style paper critique, pre-submission readiness checks, pass/fail gate decisions, structured revision roadmaps, or re-audits of revised manuscripts. Trigger even if the user only says "review my paper", "check if this is ready to submit", "audit this PDF", "simulate peer review", "find the biggest problems in this manuscript", or "re-check whether I fixed the review issues". Do…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 78 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/claims_evidence_reviewer_agent.md`, `agents/committee_editor_agent.md` and `agents/committee_literature_agent.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX, Skill authoring and Peer review. It works with LaTeX. 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…

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:
ReadGlobGrepBash(uv *)Task
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
Paper Audit loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~20k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 163 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,302 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,302 words (~3,622 tokens).
“paper-audit is now deep-review-first. Its core job is to behave like a serious reviewer: find technical, methodological, claim-level, and cross-section issues; keep script-backed findings separate from reviewer judgment; and return a structured issue bundle plus a revision roadmap.”
