What it does

Research Paper is an agent skill from luwill/research-skills. Use when the user asks to write or draft an ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE — IMRaD paper, conference paper, short/workshop paper, 研究论文/期刊论文/会议论文 — reporting their own completed experiments, in English or Chinese. Triggers: "write the paper", "draft our manuscript", "把我们这篇工作写成论文", "论文写作". Results-first: the user's actual results (tables, metrics, figures) are the raw material; this skill never invents an experiment or a number. NOT for literature reviews/surveys (use medical-imaging-review), NOT for proposals (use…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/paper_scaffold_en.md`, `assets/paper_scaffold_zh.md` and `learnings/2026-10-10-门禁正则和旗标格式不是同源.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Literature review, Proposals and quotes and Clinical and healthcare research. The repository describes itself as: Some commonly used research experiences and processes are encapsulated into Agent skills.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to write
  • Draft an ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE — IMRaD paper
  • Conference paper
  • Short/workshop paper

Example prompts

  • “write the paper”
  • “draft our manuscript”
  • “把我们这篇工作写成论文”
  • “/research-paper”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Intake (record, don't improvise)
  2. Materials audit (before any prose)
  3. Outline + approval (red line)
  4. Write-with-verify (per section)
  5. Gates + reporting checklist + submission pack

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3ace83c. 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 script files (Python), 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

Research Paper loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 736 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.4k

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 736 words (~1,949 tokens).

“Draft an original research article from the user's actual completed work: their experiments, data, figures, and references. Two disciplines govern everything:”
