Run the proofreading protocol on lecture files. An agent skill from maxwell2732/paper-replicate-agent-demo.

  • Works in 6 steps: Identify files to review → For each file, launch the proofreader… → Produce a detailed report for each file… → …

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Proofread is an agent skill from maxwell2732/paper-replicate-agent-demo. Run the proofreading protocol on lecture files. Checks grammar, typos, overflow, consistency, and academic writing quality. Produces a report without editing files.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 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 Writing & Content, covering Copy editing and proofreading. The repository describes itself as: A structured Claude Code workflow for empirically replicating published research using UK Biobank (UKB) data, created by Chen Zhu 朱晨 | 遗传社科研究.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Copy editing and proofreading

Example prompts

  • “/proofread”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Task

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify files to review
  2. For each file, launch the proofreader agent that checks for
  3. Produce a detailed report for each file listing every finding with
  4. Save each report to quality_reports/
  5. IMPORTANT: Do NOT edit any source files.
  6. Present summary to the user

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 83399e0. 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
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Write
    • Task

    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

Proofread loads about 449 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 181 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~449

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 181 words (~449 tokens).

“Run the mandatory proofreading protocol on lecture files. This produces a report of all issues found WITHOUT editing any source files.”
