What it does
Academic Paper Writer is an agent skill from joshua-zyy/academic-paper-writer. Use when writing or revising CS/AI/ML papers from research notes, code repositories, local literature libraries, target venue requirements, or section-level drafting requests. Triggers include 写论文, 初稿, paper draft, write introduction, write method, full paper outline, section-by-section drafting, 证据闭环, 论文起草, 从零写论文, 逐节写作.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 39 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/probe-agent.md`, `manifest.yaml` and `references/content-density.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Scientific writing. The repository describes itself as: 面向 CS / AI / ML 领域的证据驱动、分节推进的论文写作 Agent Skill。 The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Revising CS/AI/ML papers from research notes
- Code repositories
- Local literature libraries
- Target venue requirements
Example prompts
- “/academic-paper-writer”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read manifest.yaml. It declares always_load files, axes, and references.on_demand.
- Read every file listed under always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material.
- Apply the loaded material as constraints
- Detect mode, paper_type, section, and language using manifest axes.
- Echo the detected mode to the user before executing.
- Reach for references/ only when the manifest's references.on_demand condition is satisfied.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6fceefd. 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
Academic Paper Writer loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~53k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 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.
