What it does
Paper Writing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when drafting, rewriting, reviewing, or auditing prose for any section of an empirical academic paper (Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Data, Results, Discussion, Conclusion) or specialized output (job market paper, grant proposal, policy brief, referee response).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/research-design-narratives.md`, `references/review-checklist.md` and `references/section-formulas.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Scientific writing and Grant writing. 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
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

- Apply the seven core principles below.
- Apply the style rules in references/style-rules.md. Run the five-pass self-check before declaring the output done.
- Mark author-input gaps with [AUTHOR: description]. Never invent numbers, citations, dataset names, institutional details, or dates.
- Use causal language only when the design supports it; otherwise correlational. (Academic-baseline principle 4.)
- Produce output in paper_language from CLAUDE.superpapers.md. (Academic-baseline principle 8.)
- Defer non-prose work to the sibling skills listed in the Overview.
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 Writing loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~16k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 812 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 812 words (~1,684 tokens).
“Applies writing discipline to paper prose. Operates under academic-baseline — its nine principles bind every step below. Defers non-prose work to sibling skills: tables-and-figures for tables and figures, citation-management for .bib entries, compile-latex for LaTeX builds, replication-driven-research for reproducibility, robustness-checks…”

How do I install Paper Writing in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill paper-writing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/60-regisely-superpapers/skills/paper-writing in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/paper-writing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Paper Writing in Codex?

Or copy the skill folder (skills/60-regisely-superpapers/skills/paper-writing in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/paper-writing in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Paper Writing in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill paper-writing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/paper-writing, .gemini/skills/paper-writing, .github/skills/paper-writing and .opencode/skills/paper-writing in your project.
What does Paper Writing need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Paper Writing is instructions for the agent only.
Does Paper Writing 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.
Is Paper Writing safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Paper Writing use?
Paper Writing has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Paper Writing use?
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 14k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Paper Writing?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Paper Writing: Scientific Venue Templates (davila7/claude-code-templates, 33k stars), Academic Humanizer (AIScientists-Dev/academic-humanizer, 1.9k stars), NSFC Grant Rationale Writer (huangwb8/ChineseResearchLaTeX, 2.9k stars) and NSFC Abstract Writer (huangwb8/ChineseResearchLaTeX, 2.9k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
