  • Works in 6 steps: Read manifest.yaml. → Read every file listed under always_load. → Detect the axes → …

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ieee Polishing is an agent skill from CloudWave818/ieee-skills. Polish, translate, diagnose, and restructure technical manuscript text into IEEE-style academic English using routed failure-mode guidance. Use for IEEE abstracts, introductions, related work, methods, experiments, conclusions, figure captions, rebuttals, Chinese-to-English technical writing, AI-like or template-like academic prose, and engineering prose that needs clearer problem logic, contribution framing, method rationale, evidence discipline, natural author voice, or reviewer-ready wording.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 35 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `manifest.yaml` and `static/core/failure-modes.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Literature review and Technical writing. The repository describes itself as: 面向 IEEE 风格论文写作、润色、审稿、实验、图表、LaTeX、引用和论文阅读的 Codex skills。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Figure captions
  • Chinese-to-English technical writing
  • Template-like academic prose
  • Engineering prose that needs clearer problem logic

Example prompts

  • “/ieee-polishing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read manifest.yaml.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load.
  3. Detect the axes
  4. State the detected axes in one short line before editing.
  5. Load only the matching fragments.
  6. Polish with this priority order

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee30fda. 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

Ieee Polishing loads about 527 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 191 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~527

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.

IEEE Polishing Router

Use this skill for IEEE-style language and logic polishing. Polishing means repairing both prose and technical argument structure.

Do not polish only from memory. Follow the routing protocol and load the selected fragments.

Routing Protocol

  1. Read manifest.yaml.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load.
  3. Detect the axes:
    • section: title / abstract / introduction / related-work / method / experiments / conclusion / caption / response / standalone.
    • language: en / zh-to-en.
    • failure_mode: vague-claims / unsupported-novelty / weak-contribution / poor-method-rationale / chinglish / result-underreporting / ai-like-prose.
    • polish_depth: light / standard / structural.
  4. State the detected axes in one short line before editing.
  5. Load only the matching fragments.
  6. Polish with this priority order:
    • preserve facts,
    • repair IEEE engineering logic,
    • align with section purpose,
    • apply failure-mode repair,
    • improve sentence-level English.

Red Lines

Do not invent numerical results, datasets, baselines, citations, equations, algorithms, or claims.

Do not hide a missing-evidence problem behind fluent English. Flag it.

Do not over-polish into Nature-style broad-interest prose. Keep IEEE direct, technical, and verifiable.

Output Contract

Default: return the polished text first, then a short Notes block only when you made structural repairs or the text still needs evidence.

For intensive editing requests, return a table with Issue | Revision | Reason.
