Full paper writing pipeline. An agent skill from GRIND-Lab-Core/night_owl_research_agent.
- Works in 6 steps: Paper Plan → Figure Generation → Manuscript Drafting → …
- User says write paper pipeline
- SKILL.md covers Overview, Constants, Inputs and Pipeline, plus 3 more sections
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Paper Writing Pipeline is an agent skill from GRIND-Lab-Core/night_owl_research_agent. Full paper writing pipeline. Orchestrates paper-plan → paper-figure-generate → paper-draft → paper-review-loop → paper-covert to go from upstream research artifacts to a polished, submission-ready manuscript package (Markdown → LaTeX → PDF + DOCX). Use when user says "write paper pipeline", "paper writing", or wants the complete paper generation workflow.
Its SKILL.md is about 5.5k 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 Documents & Office, covering Scientific writing and Peer review. 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
- User says write paper pipeline
- Wants the complete paper generation workflow
Example prompts
- “write paper pipeline”
- “paper writing”
- “/paper-writing-pipeline”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Agent, Skill, mcp__codex__codex, mcp__codex__codex-reply
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Paper Plan
- Figure Generation
- Manuscript Drafting
- Review and Revision Loop
- Conversion and Submission Package
- Final Report
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(*)ReadWriteEditGrepGlobAgentSkillmcp__codex__codexmcp__codex__codex-reply
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
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 Writing Pipeline loads about 5.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,788 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: warnings
The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.
