At a glance
Runs a 12-agent pipeline that plans, drafts, cites, reviews and formats academic papers, with modes for revision, rebuttals, abstracts and citation checks.

- Writing a paper from topic to formatted draft with guided steps
- SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Pasted and retrieved text is…, Trigger Conditions and Agent Team (12 Agents), plus 6 more sections

What it does
Twelve specialized agents cover the writing process, among them intake, literature strategy, argument building, structure, drafting, citation compliance, peer review, revision coaching, a Socratic mentor, bilingual abstracts, formatting and visualization. The pipeline works across disciplines, with a higher education default, and handles 6 paper types and 5 citation formats.
Eleven modes let you enter at the right point: full, plan, outline, revision, revision-coach, abstract, lit-review, format-convert, citation-check, disclosure and rebuttal-audit. Output can be LaTeX, DOCX through Pandoc or PDF, and the trigger phrases are written in English, Chinese, Korean and Spanish, so requests such as parsing reviewer comments, planning a revision or auditing a conference rebuttal also reach it.
Two writing-quality features are described. Style calibration is an optional intake step that learns your voice from 3 or more past papers and applies it as a soft guide, with discipline conventions taking priority, and a writing quality check flags vague terms, interrupting punctuation and throat-clearing openers during self-review. A routing core is repeated in the file, and a message that begins with a direct-mode token skips cross-phase clarification.
When your agent uses it
- Writing a paper from topic to formatted draft with guided steps
- Parsing reviewer comments into a revision roadmap
- Auditing a rebuttal or response draft before sending it
- Checking citations and references in a manuscript
- Producing bilingual abstracts for a journal submission
Example prompts
- “Guide me through writing a paper on student retention in first-year courses.”
- “I got reviewer comments on my manuscript, so build a revision roadmap and tell me where to push back.”
- “Check my reference list against the in-text citations in thesis-chapter2.docx.”
- “Write a bilingual abstract in English and Chinese for my finished article.”
Requirements
- Pandoc, for DOCX output
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Explicit clear intent — user invokes a specific skill via /ars-* slash command, or uses an unambiguous trigger keyword that maps to a…
- Cross-phase materials detected — user provides artifacts spanning ≥ 2 pipeline phases without naming a specific skill (e.g., pre-written…
- Ambiguous intent, no materials — user provides no artifacts and no clear request
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e614b32. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Academic Paper Writing Pipeline loads about 16k tokens when it runs, and up to ~111k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 255 tokens; SKILL.md has 7,324 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 (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 7,324 words (~15,782 tokens).
“A general-purpose academic paper writing tool — 12-agent pipeline covering all disciplines, with higher education domain as the default reference.”
