What it does
Review Revision is an agent skill from M1n-n9/paper-lifecycle. Review and revise academic papers with a senior-reviewer workflow. Use when an AI research/coding agent needs to work on an existing paper draft, PDF, LaTeX project, Word document, markdown manuscript, rejected paper, or paper idea that already has a concrete direction, and produce: paper maps, weakness audits, insight/novelty checks, reviewer objections, claim-experiment matrices, theory/proof checks, experiment plans, statistics/reproducibility audits, figure/table audits, ethics/compliance checks, revision…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/review_revision_skill.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Reproducible research, Word documents and LaTeX. It works with LaTeX and Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: Codex skill for full academic paper lifecycle analysis and revision.
When your agent uses it

Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da8a231. 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
Review Revision loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 148 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,120 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,120 words (~2,290 tokens).
“Use this skill as a review-and-revision workflow for an existing manuscript, rejected paper, review package, or idea with a concrete direction. Treat the paper as a research system: problem, insight, novelty, idea, method, experiments, writing, and final readiness. The goal…”
