What it does
Paper Writer is an agent skill from HKUSTDial/Supervisor-Skills. Drafts publishable paper prose from the author's own materials, from a single paragraph to a full manuscript, across STEM and non-STEM fields. Every factual claim traces to user input, verified retrieval, or field common knowledge; citations pass an independent verification ladder; delivery is clean prose with zero placeholder tags. Use when the user asks to write a section, turn an idea or results into paper text, or draft a full paper.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `references/academic-phrasebank.md`, `references/ai-tone-guardrails.md` and `references/citation-style.md`).
The repository describes itself as: 将博导十年科研经验炼化为可直接调用的 AI 技能。从 Idea 构思到论文投稿，你的 AI 科研副导师。

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 207bc6f. 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
Paper Writer loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,881 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,881 words (~3,504 tokens).
“This skill turns a researcher's ideas and materials into submittable paper prose. One paragraph works; a full manuscript works.”

How many tokens does Paper Writer use?
About 3.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 14k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 12k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
