What it does
Talk is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Create and audit presentations (Beamer or Quarto RevealJS). Combines talk creation, visual audit, and compilation. Replaces /create-talk, /visual-audit, /compile-latex (for talks).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 and Slides and decks. 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
- Tasks that involve Slides and decks
Example prompts
- “/talk”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Task, Bash
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Re-dispatch Storyteller with specific fixes (max 3 rounds per three-strikes rule)
- Re-run storyteller-critic to verify
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:
ReadGrepGlobWriteEditTaskBash
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 bash).
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
Talk loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 576 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, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Task, 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 576 words (~1,284 tokens).
“Create, audit, or compile presentations (Beamer or Quarto RevealJS).”

Or copy the skill folder (skills/16-hsantanna88-clo-author/dot-claude/skills/talk in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/talk in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Talk 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 talk -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/talk, .gemini/skills/talk, .github/skills/talk and .opencode/skills/talk in your project.
What does Talk need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Talk is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Task, Bash.
Does Talk 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 Talk safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Talk use?
Talk 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 Talk use?
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Talk?
