What it does

Weekly Lab Update is an agent skill from chtc66/academic-skills. turn a week's paper reading, experiment progress, debugging notes, and next-step plans into a chinese weekly report, a chinese group-meeting outline, or an english brief when the user needs a concise lab update instead of a raw activity log.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/english_brief_template.md` and `references/meeting_outline_template.md`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Academic workflow skills for paper reading, survey writing, experiment summarization, rebuttal drafting, and weekly lab updates. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Needs a concise lab update instead of a raw activity log

Example prompts

  • “/weekly-lab-update”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 先按“论文阅读”“实验进展”“当前问题”“下周计划”整理输入。
  2. 参考 references/weekly_report_template.md 生成中文周报。
  3. 参考 references/meeting_outline_template.md 生成中文组会提纲。
  4. 在需要英文短汇报时,参考 references/english_brief_template.md。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 126e235. 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

Weekly Lab Update loads about 288 tokens when it runs, and up to ~689 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 50 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~288
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~689

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.

Weekly Lab Update

用这个 skill 把一周内的论文阅读、实验结果、失败排查和下周计划整理成周报、组会提纲和英文简版汇报。重点是突出结论、变化和待讨论问题,而不是记录流水账。

输出模式

  • 中文周报
  • 中文组会提纲
  • 英文简版汇报

如果用户没有指定,默认输出中文周报,并附一版简短组会提纲。

工作流

  1. 先按“论文阅读”“实验进展”“当前问题”“下周计划”整理输入。
  2. 参考 references/weekly_report_template.md 生成中文周报。
  3. 参考 references/meeting_outline_template.md 生成中文组会提纲。
  4. 在需要英文短汇报时,参考 references/english_brief_template.md。

输入处理规则

  • 接收本周读过的论文、本周实验结果、当前问题和下周计划。
  • 如果输入更像碎片笔记,先归并同类项,再提炼结论。
  • 如果一周内进展较少,也不要硬凑内容,明确写清当前卡点和需要讨论的问题。

输出规则

  • 默认结构包括:
    • 本周进展
    • 论文阅读总结
    • 实验结果总结
    • 当前问题
    • 下周计划
    • 希望讨论的问题
  • 不要写成按时间排序的流水账。
  • 优先写“发生了什么变化、为什么重要、接下来怎么处理”。

证据与表述约束

  • 不要夸大进展。
  • 如果某些结论只是初步观察,直接标注“初步”或“待验证”。
  • 如果实验失败较多,也要把失败经验整理成可讨论信息。

何时读引用文件

  • 输出中文周报时读取 references/weekly_report_template.md。
  • 输出组会提纲时读取 references/meeting_outline_template.md。
  • 输出英文简报时读取 references/english_brief_template.md。
