At a glance
A router skill that sends academic work such as literature reviews, drafting, citation checks, peer review and revision to the right workflow in the ARS suite.
- Works in 3 steps: Explicit clear intent — user invokes a… → Cross-phase materials detected — user… → Ambiguous intent, no materials — user…
- Running a systematic literature review or meta-analysis
- SKILL.md covers Versioning, First Rule, Workflow Router and Claude-Style Alias Router, plus 10 more sections
- Calls claude; needs ARS_OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEY and S2_API_KEY
What it does
This is a Codex adapter for the ARS suite, with the vendored ARS content under `ars/`. Its first rule is not to load the whole suite: the agent selects one workflow, reads that workflow's `WORKFLOW.md`, and loads only the agent, reference, template or shared files needed for your current stage. Internal entry files are named `WORKFLOW.md` rather than `SKILL.md` so Codex registers just this root router.
Routing follows a shared core: a `[direct-mode]` prefix on the first message skips cross-phase clarification, and explicit aliases such as `/ars-lit-review`, `/ars-citation-check`, `/ars-abstract`, `/ars-revision`, `/ars-reviewer` and `/ars-full` go straight to their workflow. Topics include deep research, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, study screening with `sr-screener`, drafts, integrity checks and peer review, with trigger phrases in English, Korean, Spanish and Chinese. Tool access is limited to reading, searching, web search and Python or `uv` commands.
When your agent uses it
- Running a systematic literature review or meta-analysis
- Checking citations and reference formatting in a draft
- Getting a peer-review style critique of a manuscript
- Drafting an abstract, outline or revision plan for a paper
Example prompts
- “/ars-lit-review on the effect of sleep on adolescent test scores.”
- “Check the citations in thesis/chapter2.md and flag any that do not match the reference list.”
- “Run the reviewer workflow on my manuscript and help me plan a rebuttal.”
- “Screen these study records for my systematic review with sr-screener.”
Requirements
- Python or `uv` available for the suite's scripts
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, Bash(uv *), Bash(python *), Bash(python3 *)
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 52228e8. 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:
ReadGlobGrepWebSearchBash(uv *)Bash(python *)Bash(python3 *)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
claude
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
ARS_OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEYS2_API_KEYOPENALEX_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Academic Research Suite for Codex loads about 12k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 234 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,402 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 5,402 words (~11,745 tokens).
