What it does

Thesis Workflow is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. 基于用户材料、学校或期刊官方要求和可核验来源,辅助论文写作、毕业论文、开题报告、文献综述、参考文献格式、降重、答辩PPT与学术润色。Use when users need help with a thesis, proposal, literature review, citation, academic revision, submission, reviewer response, or defense preparation.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 43 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/academic-integrity-and-source-policy.md` and `references/academic-language-and-polishing.md`).

It sits in Education, covering Essays and academic help, Literature review and Citation management. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.

When your agent uses it

  • Users need help with a thesis
  • Literature review
  • Academic revision
  • Reviewer response

Example prompts

  • “/thesis-workflow”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. 局部任务明确:读取一个或两个必要 reference,直接交付。
  2. 目标明确但缺关键条件:只问一个会改变结果的问题,其余标为假设或 AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED。
  3. 需求模糊:提供结构与论证、文献与证据、写作与润色、投稿与返修四个入口。
  4. 综合或长周期任务:建立 foundation files 和轻量状态摘要。
  5. 高风险任务:先读取诚信与来源政策,说明限制和安全替代路径。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9830caf. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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

Thesis Workflow loads about 922 tokens when it runs, and up to ~31k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~922
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~31k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 146 words (~922 tokens).
