What it does
Paper Covert is an agent skill from GRIND-Lab-Core/night_owl_research_agent. Converts the final Markdown manuscript from paper-draft / paper-review-loop into a submission package for the target venue — modular LaTeX (one file per section), compiled PDF, and Word .docx. Venue is read from output/PAPERPLAN.md (or argument) and routed through a small YAML profile. Does not rewrite prose, score, or invent citations.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files (for example `profiles/aag_annals.yaml`, `profiles/generic.yaml` and `profiles/ieee_tgrs.yaml`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX, Word documents and Citation management. It works with LaTeX and Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: Fully automatic AI research agent for Geoscientists, Remote Sensing researchers, and GIScientists. Features harness engineering, GeoBenchmark (OLS/GWR/MGWR), journal templates…
When your agent uses it

- Tasks that involve Word documents
- Tasks that involve Citation management
Example prompts
- “Use the paper-covert skill to convert the final Markdown manuscript from paper-draft / paper-review-loop into a submission package for the target…”
- “/paper-covert”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Resolve source and venue
- Build the LaTeX tree
- Wire the bibliography
- Build the PDF
- Export the DOCX
- Write the manifest
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f7a246. 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:
Bash(*)ReadWriteEditGrepGlob
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pandoc
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
Paper Covert loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 729 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: Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 729 words (~2,124 tokens).
