What it does
Proofread is an agent skill from maxwell2732/my-submission-formatting-agent. Run the proofreading protocol on manuscript files. Checks grammar, typos, draft marker integrity, consistency, and academic writing quality. Produces a report without editing files.
Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copy editing and proofreading. The repository describes itself as: A structured Claude Code workflow to reformat research manuscripts for any journal's submission requirements without altering scientific content, created by Chen Zhu 朱晨 | 遗传社科研究.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Copy editing and proofreading
Example prompts
- “/proofread”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Task
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify the file to review
- Launch the proofreader agent which checks for
- Produce a detailed report for each file listing every finding with
- Save the report to quality_reports/[FILENAME]_proofread.md
- IMPORTANT: Do NOT edit any source files.
- Present summary to the user
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2937ff7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlobWriteTask
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
Proofread loads about 457 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 178 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 178 words (~457 tokens).
