What it does

Paper Self Revise is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Revise an academic paper based on internal review comments. Reads review report or annotated manuscript, then applies revisions one by one with user approval. Trigger when user says "self revise" / "paper-selfrevise" / "内部修改" / "根据审稿意见修改".

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k 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 Documents & Office. 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 self revise / paper-selfrevise / 内部修改 / 根据审稿意见修改

Example prompts

  • “self revise”
  • “paper-selfrevise”
  • “根据审稿意见修改”
  • “/paper-self-revise”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • 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. Review Report Check
  2. Initialization
  3. Extract and Structure Review Comments
  4. Iterative Revision (Core Loop)
  5. Completion

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pandoc

    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 Self Revise loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,578 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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 1,578 words (~3,418 tokens).

“This skill revises an academic paper (main.tex) based on internal review comments. The user provides a project folder containing the manuscript and review materials. The skill extracts review comments, then processes them one by one: displaying the comment, showing the…”
