What it does

Nanoresearch Writing is an agent skill from OpenRaiser/NanoResearch. Draft a LaTeX research paper from all previous stage outputs

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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 Documents & Office, covering LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: 🦞+🔬 NanoResearch: The Autonomous AI Research Assistant. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve LaTeX

Example prompts

  • “/nanoresearch-writing”

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse all upstream outputs to gather hypotheses, literature, experiment design, and results
  2. Generate the paper outline following a standard structure (Abstract, Introduction, Related Work, Method, Experiments, Conclusion)
  3. Draft the Abstract summarizing the problem, approach, and key findings
  4. Draft the Introduction motivating the research question and stating contributions
  5. Draft Related Work synthesizing the surveyed literature from the ideation stage
  6. Draft the Method section describing the proposed approach in detail
  7. Draft the Experiments section with dataset descriptions, baseline comparisons, and ablation results
  8. Generate figures (performance plots, ablation charts, architecture diagrams) using generate_figure
  9. Generate tables summarizing quantitative results
  10. Draft the Conclusion with a summary of findings and future work directions
  11. Compile the bibliography from all cited papers
  12. Assemble the full LaTeX document using generate_latex

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 584fd06. 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

Nanoresearch Writing loads about 552 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~552

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.

Writing Skill

Purpose

Take all previous outputs (ideation, planning, experiment results) and produce a complete LaTeX paper draft with figures, tables, and bibliography.

Tools Required

  • generate_latex: Generate and assemble LaTeX source files for each paper section
  • compile_pdf: Compile the LaTeX source into a PDF document
  • generate_figure: Produce publication-quality figures from experiment results

Input

  • ideation_output: Path to papers/ideation_output.json from the ideation skill
  • experiment_blueprint: Path to papers/experiment_blueprint.json from the planning skill
  • experiment_results: Path to experiments/ directory containing code and results from the experiment skill

Process

  1. Parse all upstream outputs to gather hypotheses, literature, experiment design, and results
  2. Generate the paper outline following a standard structure (Abstract, Introduction, Related Work, Method, Experiments, Conclusion)
  3. Draft the Abstract summarizing the problem, approach, and key findings
  4. Draft the Introduction motivating the research question and stating contributions
  5. Draft Related Work synthesizing the surveyed literature from the ideation stage
  6. Draft the Method section describing the proposed approach in detail
  7. Draft the Experiments section with dataset descriptions, baseline comparisons, and ablation results
  8. Generate figures (performance plots, ablation charts, architecture diagrams) using generate_figure
  9. Generate tables summarizing quantitative results
  10. Draft the Conclusion with a summary of findings and future work directions
  11. Compile the bibliography from all cited papers
  12. Assemble the full LaTeX document using generate_latex
  13. Compile to PDF using compile_pdf and verify the output

Output

Produces papers/draft/ directory containing:

  • main.tex: Complete LaTeX source of the paper
  • references.bib: Bibliography file with all citations
  • figures/: Generated figures in PDF or PNG format
  • tables/: LaTeX table source files
  • main.pdf: Compiled PDF of the paper draft
