What it does
Proofread is an agent skill from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow. Read-only proofreading pass over lecture .tex or .qmd files. Checks grammar, typos, overflow, terminology consistency, and academic writing quality; produces a report without editing. Use when user says "proofread", "check for typos", "look for grammar issues", "copy-edit this", "any writing errors?", or before a lecture release.
Its SKILL.md is about 510 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 and LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: A ready-to-fork Claude Code template for academics using LaTeX/Beamer + R. Multi-agent review, quality gates, adversarial QA, and replication protocols. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- User says proofread
- Check for typos
- Look for grammar issues
- Any writing errors?
Example prompts
- “proofread”
- “check for typos”
- “look for grammar issues”
- “/proofread”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Agent, Task
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify files to review
- For each file, launch the proofreader agent that checks for
- Produce a detailed report for each file listing every finding with
- Save each report to quality_reports/
- Leave source files unchanged — fixes are applied after the user reviews the report.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae72617. 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:
ReadGrepGlobWriteAgentTask
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 505 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 186 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.

Proofread Lecture Files
Run the proofreading protocol on lecture files. This produces a report of all issues found WITHOUT editing any source files.
Steps
Identify files to review:
- If
$ARGUMENTSis a specific filename: review that file only - If
$ARGUMENTSis "all": review all lecture files inSlides/andQuarto/
- If
For each file, launch the proofreader agent that checks for:
GRAMMAR: Subject-verb agreement, articles (a/an/the), prepositions, tense consistency TYPOS: Misspellings, search-and-replace artifacts, duplicated words OVERFLOW: Overfull hbox (LaTeX), content exceeding slide boundaries (Quarto) CONSISTENCY: Citation format, notation, terminology ACADEMIC QUALITY: Informal language, missing words, awkward constructions
Produce a detailed report for each file listing every finding with:
- Location (line number or slide title)
- Current text (what's wrong)
- Proposed fix (what it should be)
- Category and severity
Save each report to
quality_reports/:- For
.texfiles:quality_reports/FILENAME_report.md - For
.qmdfiles:quality_reports/FILENAME_qmd_report.md
- For
Leave source files unchanged — fixes are applied after the user reviews the report. Only produce the report. Fixes are applied separately after user review.

Can I use Proofread in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill proofread -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/proofread, .gemini/skills/proofread, .github/skills/proofread and .opencode/skills/proofread in your project.
What does Proofread need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Proofread is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Agent, Task.
Does Proofread access the network?
