At a glance

Orchestrates a research paper from literature review through code, experiments, figures, tables, writing and review, with state passed between phases and checkpoints to resume.

  • Works in 5 steps: Assess Current State → Execute Pipeline Phases → State Propagation → …
  • Assembling a complete paper from separately produced components
  • SKILL.md covers Input, References, Scripts and Workflow, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python

What it does

The skill coordinates the other paper skills in dependency order: literature search and review, research planning, experiment code, experiment design, figure and table generation, section writing, citation management, LaTeX formatting, compilation and self-review. It begins by scanning the paper directory to see which phases are complete or pending and builds a dependency graph of the remaining work.

After each phase it saves artifacts, passes results to downstream phases and updates a progress checkpoint file so an interrupted run can resume. Quality gates between phases check that required outputs exist, cited keys are in the .bib file and figures and tables match the experimental results, and final assembly merges sections into main.tex, checks included graphics and cite keys, compiles a PDF and runs a self-review. A Python script, assembly_checker.py, reports missing artifacts and suggests next steps, and a reference file describes orchestration patterns such as sequential pipelines and multi-agent state broadcasting.

When your agent uses it

  • Assembling a complete paper from separately produced components
  • Finding out which phases of a paper project are done and which are pending
  • Resuming an interrupted paper pipeline from a checkpoint

Example prompts

  • “Check the paper/ directory and tell me which pipeline phases are still missing.”
  • “Assemble the full paper from the current results, figures and sections, then compile the PDF.”
  • “Resume the paper pipeline from the last checkpoint and run the quality gates.”

Requirements

  • Python, to run assembly_checker.py
  • A LaTeX toolchain to compile the PDF

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Assess Current State
  2. Execute Pipeline Phases
  3. State Propagation
  4. Quality Gates
  5. Final Assembly

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e6c085. 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/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Paper Pipeline Assembly loads about 971 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 328 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~971
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

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 328 words (~971 tokens).

“Orchestrate the entire paper pipeline end-to-end with state management and checkpointing.”

What does Paper Pipeline Assembly need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Paper Pipeline Assembly needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python, to run assembly_checker.py; A LaTeX toolchain to compile the PDF.

Does Paper Pipeline Assembly access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Paper Pipeline Assembly safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
