What it does
Paper Review is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when a paper is complete or near-complete and a holistic pre-submission audit is needed. Cross-cuts text, code, tables, figures, results, citations, and reproducibility in a single pass and produces a persistent audit report. Works standalone on papers written outside the plugin.
Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/audit-rubric.md` and `references/report-template.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Peer review, Reproducible research and Citation management. 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…

Workflow steps
11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Discover the paper structure. Locate: paper.tex (or the equivalent main TeX file), references.bib, output/tables/, output/figures/…
- Inventory artifacts. List every file relevant to the audit by category: prose files (.tex), bibliography (.bib), table files…
- Numerical consistency. Extract numbers from the paper prose — percentages, point estimates, standard errors, sample sizes, R², test…
- Narrative coherence and structure.
- Citation integrity. Every \cite{key} must have a matching entry in .bib. Every .bib entry must be cited at least once. No duplicate keys…
- Code and reproducibility hygiene. Scan scripts in the code directory for

- AI-pattern surface scan.

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
Paper Review loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,529 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); 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 1,529 words (~2,959 tokens).
“This skill runs a terminal, cross-cutting audit before submission. It is not a deep prose critic (that is paper-writing), not a statistical robustness reviewer (that is robustness-checks), not a reproducibility verifier (that is replication-driven-research). Instead, it detects the seams between…”

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/paper-review, .gemini/skills/paper-review, .github/skills/paper-review and .opencode/skills/paper-review in your project.
What does Paper Review need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Paper Review is instructions for the agent only.
Does Paper Review access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
