What it does

Paper Revision is an agent skill from lingzhi227/agent-research-skills. Revise papers based on reviewer feedback. Map reviewer concerns to specific sections, apply targeted edits, run additional experiments if needed, and verify improvements. Use after receiving peer review with revision requests.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/revision-prompts.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Peer review. The repository describes itself as: Skills for Claude Code — deep-research: systematic academic literature review.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Peer review

Example prompts

  • “/paper-revision”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse and Prioritize Concerns
  2. Plan Revisions
  3. Execute Revisions
  4. Verify Improvements
  5. Write Revision Summary

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

    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

Paper Revision loads about 668 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 277 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~668
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 277 words (~668 tokens).
