What it does
Paper Revision is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Comprehensive workflow for handling journal Revise and Resubmit (R&R) decisions. Use when you receive referee reports and need to systematically track, classify, and respond to reviewer comments. Triggers include R&R decisions, referee comments, response to reviewers, revision letter drafting, and handling referee reports. Provides structured 10-step workflow, revision tracking spreadsheet, LaTeX response letter template, and automated comment extraction.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `README.md`, `references/comment_classification.md` and `references/response_examples.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets and LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

- Create Revision Tracker
- Extract All Comments
- Organize Comments Logically
- Classify Each Comment
- Plan Your Responses
- Execute the Revision
- Write the Response Letter
- Double-Check Everything
- Final Read and Resubmit
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonpip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Paper Revision loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,355 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 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,355 words (~3,428 tokens).
“A comprehensive skill for managing journal revise-and-resubmit workflows, from extracting referee comments to drafting the response letter.”
