What it does
Referee Report is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Generate academic referee reports for economics/finance papers, followed by a 150-word letter to the editor with recommendation (Reject / Major Revision) and Kai Wu signature. Two modes (normal / high-level), configurable number of comments; recommendation choice drives evaluation tone (Reject → negative, Major Revision → neutral). Trigger when user says "referee report" / "write referee report" / "审稿报告" / "写审稿意见" / "generate referee report" / "review this paper".
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k 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 Research & Science. 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 report / write referee report / 审稿报告 / 写审稿意见 / generate referee report / review this paper
Example prompts
- “referee report”
- “write referee report”
- “generate referee report”
- “/referee-report”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, Bash
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Initialization
- Configuration
- Generate Report
- Output
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:
ReadWriteGlobGrepAskUserQuestionBash
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
Referee Report loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,539 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: 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, 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 1,539 words (~3,178 tokens).
“This skill generates a referee report for an academic economics/finance paper. The user provides a project folder containing the manuscript and supporting files. The skill reads the paper thoroughly, then generates a structured referee report with a summary, overall assessment…”
