What it does

Academic Deep Research is an agent skill from Citrus-bit/Anaxa. Use this skill for academic reports, literature reviews, experiment reports, user-selected reference styles, innovation-point mining, or when the user wants a topic turned into a paper-backed evidence bundle instead of generic web research.

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 Research & Science, covering Deep research, Literature review and Dispute resolution. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Anaxa 是一个面向科研工作流的开源智能体系统。它不是单纯的聊天机器人,也不是无人监管的自动发论文机器,而是把文献检索、证据审计、实验执行、论文写作、同行评审式检查和最终产物打包放进同一个可追踪的研究生命周期中。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Academic reports
  • Literature reviews
  • Experiment reports
  • User-selected reference styles

Example prompts

  • “/academic-deep-research”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Start Structured Research
  2. Build Manuscript Bundle When Requested
  3. Escalate to Subagent When Needed
  4. Output Discipline

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d57c708. 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

Academic Deep Research loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 596 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
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.

description
Use this skill for academic reports, literature reviews, experiment reports, user-selected reference styles, innovation-point mining, or when the user wants a topic turned into a paper-backed evidence bundle instead of generic web research.

Academic Deep Research

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • academic reports or literature reviews
  • experiment reports with professional references
  • references in a specific user-requested style or richer scholarly citations
  • innovation-point mining based on papers
  • a research knowledge base, evidence map, or local literature store

Core Rules

  1. Prefer the academic_research tool over ad hoc web browsing when the task is literature-heavy.
  2. When the user asks for latest datasets, benchmarks, leaderboards, baselines, or experiment-ready evidence, call dataset_benchmark_discovery before drafting conclusions.
  3. For large academic tasks, delegate to task with subagent_type="academic-researcher" so the main thread stays clean.
  4. Do not invent references, DOI metadata, datasets, benchmark scores, or claims that are not grounded in generated evidence. In Synthetic Experiment Mode, simulated personal experiment outputs may support paper workflow completion, but third-party literature, baseline, leaderboard, benchmark, DOI, and dataset facts still cannot be fabricated.
  5. Treat the generated report.md, references.md, references.bib, evidence_map.json, and dataset_benchmark_map.json as source material with different roles: literature support is not the same as executed experiment support.
  6. When writing final prose in chat, use the artifact bundle first and only then polish wording.
  7. Follow the user's requested reference style. Use APA 7 only when no style is specified.
  8. For manuscript-style requests, default to LaTeX + PDF and prefer manuscript_export so writing, citation audit, PDF compilation, and artifact presentation happen in one enforced step.
  9. Read or audit references.bib before inserting inline LaTeX citations. Use exact BibTeX keys only; do not use \nocite{*} unless the user explicitly asks to list every reference without inline citation placement.
  10. If citation or PDF generation fails, report the exact failed tool and error. Do not claim tools are unavailable when file tools, manuscript_export, citation_audit, or present_files are available.
1. Start Structured Research

If the user gives a research topic, run:

  • academic_research(topic=..., scope=...)

If the task depends on datasets, benchmarks, or baselines, first run:

  • dataset_benchmark_discovery(topic=..., scope=...)

This will automatically:

  • expand queries
  • retrieve and normalize papers
  • deduplicate and rank them
  • produce a report bundle

The benchmark discovery bundle records candidate datasets, license/access status, metrics, baseline/SOTA hints, and risks. It does not download gated data or make leaderboard claims final.

2. Build Manuscript Bundle When Requested

For a paper, manuscript, review article draft, or experiment paper:

  • create or reuse references.bib
  • use dataset_benchmark_map.json to name candidate datasets/benchmarks only after checking access and version/date
  • use experiment_lab outputs for executed results, ablations, robustness checks, and error analysis
  • keep experimental claims unsupported unless claim_support_matrix.json marks them supported_by_experiment; in Synthetic Experiment Mode, supported_by_simulation is acceptable only when simulation assumptions/disclosure artifacts are present
  • write LaTeX with exact BibTeX keys from references.bib
  • call manuscript_export(tex_content=..., bibtex_content=..., filename_stem="manuscript")
  • if manuscript_export reports missing keys, unsupported claims, blocked \nocite{*}, or compile errors, fix the inputs and retry before final delivery
  • use citation_audit and present_files only as fallback tools for narrower manual checks or existing files
3. Escalate to Subagent When Needed

If the task is large, multi-part, or the user wants a full report, use:

  • task(description=..., prompt=..., subagent_type="academic-researcher")

The subagent should use academic_research as its primary tool and then summarize the bundle.

4. Output Discipline

When summarizing the generated academic bundle:

  • mention project_id
  • mention how many core papers and formatted references were retained
  • mention citation audit status for manuscript outputs
  • mention any evidence gaps
  • point the user to the artifacts instead of rewriting everything inline

What Good Looks Like

  • the report is evidence-backed rather than generic
  • the references list is materially richer than a normal web-search answer
  • reference entries are normalized, deduplicated, and formatted in the requested style
  • innovation directions are tied to literature gaps, not speculation
