academic-polishingPolish academic prose, de-AI-ify text, control claim strength, or rewrite method sections for CS/AI/ML papers.
Academic Polishing is an agent skill from joshua-zyy/academic-paper-writer. Polish academic prose, de-AI-ify text, control claim strength, or rewrite method sections for CS/AI/ML papers. Executes Prose Quality Gate, Claim Strength Audit, and de-AI pass. Use when: removing AI writing patterns from paper text, adjusting claim strength to match evidence level, rewriting method sections with proper narrative flow, improving academic writing quality, checking for overclaiming. Triggers on: 润色, polish, improve writing, 去AI, de-AI, claim strength, 改写, rewrite method, prose quality, 降级表述, remove…
Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/claim-strength.md` and `references/de-ai-patterns.md`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Scientific writing, Quality gates and Humanizing AI text. 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.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6fceefd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Academic Polishing loads about 780 tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 152 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 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.
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.

manifest.yaml. It declares always_load files, axes, and references.on_demand.always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material.stance.md defines non-negotiable rules, AI Traffic Light, claim strength, evidence-aware boundary, and scope.red-lines.md defines absolute prohibitions. Do not negotiate these.output-contract.md defines deliverables and completion criteria per mode.anti-patterns.md defines known failure modes and their correct alternatives.mode axis. If ambiguous, ask one concise question.references/ only when the manifest's references.on_demand condition is satisfied.Structural debt is not language debt. If section_contract_debt = open, only apply local safe edits and return the diagnosis.
| Mode | Use when |
|---|---|
prose-quality-gate | General prose quality check + rewrite |
method-prose-rewrite | Method section narrative: 问题→设计→机制→收益/边界 |
de-ai-pass | Remove AI writing patterns only |
claim-strength-audit | Audit and adjust claim strength |
Called internally by academic-paper-writer orchestrator at Step 9.6. The main agent reads this file and references/ to execute polishing in-process (no subagent dispatch). Polishing must not modify project source code, configuration, or data files. Max 2 rewrite rounds.
| Input | Mode | Priority | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| "润色一下", "改改语言" | prose-quality-gate | 2 (fuzzy) | Quality gate + rewrite, max 2 rounds |
| "去掉 AI 味", "不像人类写的" | de-ai-pass | 2 (fuzzy) | AI pattern removal only |
| "claim 太强了", "降级结论" | claim-strength-audit | 2 (fuzzy) | All claims audited, zero-tolerance check |
| "改写 Method", "Method 写得太潦草" | method-prose-rewrite | 2 (fuzzy) | Method narrative: problem→design→mechanism→benefit/boundary |
| Explicit mode name | as specified | 1 (explicit) | Skip inference, use specified mode |
| Scenario | Recommended |
