What it does

Respond To Referee is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Structure point-by-point referee responses for the sewage-house-prices paper. Classifies each comment (NEW ANALYSIS / CLARIFICATION / REWRITE / DISAGREE / MINOR), produces a tracking document, drafts a response letter in LaTeX, and flags items needing new analysis or user judgment. This skill should be used when asked to "respond to referees", "draft revision", "address referee comments", or "R&R".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Documents & Office, covering LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. 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

  • Tasks that involve LaTeX

Example prompts

  • “respond to referees”
  • “draft revision”
  • “address referee comments”
  • “/respond-to-referee”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Inputs
  2. Classify Every Comment
  3. Build Tracking Document
  4. Draft Response Letter
  5. Diplomatic Disagreement Protocol

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
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Agent

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and latex).

    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

Respond To Referee loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 303 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.
