What it does

Reads referee comments from review report or annotated manuscript, then directly modifies main.tex one comment at a time with user approval. Generates response letter after revision. Trigger when user says "referee revise" / "paper-referee-revise" / "审稿意见修改" / "根据审稿人意见修改" / "referee report".

Its SKILL.md is about 6.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Peer review. 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 referee revise / paper-referee-revise / 审稿意见修改 / 根据审稿人意见修改 / referee report
  • Tasks that involve LaTeX
  • Tasks that involve Peer review

Example prompts

  • “referee revise”
  • “paper-referee-revise”
  • “审稿意见修改”
  • “/paper-referee-revise”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, Bash

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Initialization
  2. Extract and Structure Referee Comments
  3. Empirical Triage
  4. Iterative Revision (Core Loop)
  5. Response Letter

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:

    • Read
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • AskUserQuestion
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are latex and bash).

    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

Paper Referee Revise loads about 6.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,770 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.7k

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, Edit, 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 2,770 words (~6,662 tokens).

“This skill revises an academic paper (main.tex) based on journal referee reports received during the peer review process. The user provides a project folder containing the manuscript, supporting files, and referee materials. The skill extracts referee comments, triages empirical work…”
