What it does
Thesis Advisor is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. A thesis writing support full pipeline. An agent team collaborates to perform topic selection, literature review, methodology design, writing, and proofreading. Use this skill for requests like 'help with my thesis', 'find a research topic', 'literature review', 'methodology design', 'write my thesis', 'proofread my thesis', 'dissertation', 'journal submission', 'research design', and other academic thesis writing needs. Existing manuscripts or reference lists can augment the relevant phase. However, actual data…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Education, covering Essays and academic help, Copy editing and proofreading and Literature review. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Requests like help with my thesis
- Find a research topic
- Literature review
- Methodology design
Example prompts
- “help with my thesis”
- “find a research topic”
- “literature review”
- “/thesis-advisor”
Workflow steps
3 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 8e8d35c. 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
Thesis Advisor loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 168 tokens; SKILL.md has 665 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.

- A thesis writing support full pipeline. An agent team collaborates to perform topic selection, literature review, methodology design, writing, and proofreading. Use this skill for requests like 'help with my thesis', 'find a research topic', 'literature review', 'methodology design', 'write my thesis', 'proofread my thesis', 'dissertation', 'journal submission', 'research design', and other academic thesis writing needs. Existing manuscripts or reference lists can augment the relevant phase. However, actual data collection/analysis execution, statistical software operation, and journal submission system operation are outside the scope of this skill.
Thesis Advisor — Thesis Writing Support Full Pipeline
An agent team collaborates to perform topic selection, literature review, methodology design, writing, and proofreading.
Execution Mode
Agent Team — 5 agents communicate directly via SendMessage and cross-verify each other's work.
Agent Roster
| Agent | File | Role | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| topic-explorer | .claude/agents/topic-explorer.md | Topic exploration, research question formulation | general-purpose |
| literature-analyst | .claude/agents/literature-analyst.md | Literature survey, critical review | general-purpose |
| methodology-expert | .claude/agents/methodology-expert.md | Research design, analysis method selection | general-purpose |
| writing-coach | .claude/agents/writing-coach.md | Thesis structure design, draft writing | general-purpose |
| proofreader | .claude/agents/proofreader.md | Proofreading, format verification, consistency review | general-purpose |
Workflow
Phase 1: Preparation (Orchestrator performs directly)
- Extract from user input:
- Discipline: Major and sub-field
- Thesis type: Master's / Doctoral / Journal article / Undergraduate thesis
- Topic of interest (optional): Specific topic or keywords
- Advisor's research area (optional): Lab research direction
- Existing materials (optional): Existing manuscripts, reference lists, data
- Deadline (optional): Submission date
- Create a
_workspace/directory at the project root - Organize the input and save it to
_workspace/00_input.md - If existing materials are provided, copy them to
_workspace/and adjust the relevant phase - Determine the execution mode based on the scope of the request
Phase 2: Team Assembly and Execution
| Order | Task | Agent | Depends On | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Topic exploration | topic-explorer | None | _workspace/01_topic_proposal.md |
| 2 | Literature review | literature-analyst | Task 1 | _workspace/02_literature_review.md |
| 3 | Methodology design | methodology-expert | Tasks 1, 2 | _workspace/03_methodology_design.md |
| 4 | Draft writing | writing-coach | Tasks 1, 2, 3 | _workspace/04_draft_manuscript.md |
| 5 | Proofreading | proofreader | Task 4 | _workspace/05_proofread_report.md |
Inter-agent communication flow:
- topic-explorer completes -> sends research questions and keywords to literature-analyst; sends hypotheses and variables to methodology-expert
- literature-analyst completes -> sends methodology trends from prior studies to methodology-expert; sends literature review content to writing-coach
- methodology-expert completes -> sends full methodology design to writing-coach
- writing-coach completes -> sends completed draft to proofreader
- proofreader completes -> on critical findings, requests corrections from the relevant agent (max 2 rounds)
Phase 3: Integration and Final Report
- Verify all files in
_workspace/ - Confirm that all critical proofreading items have been addressed
- Report the final summary to the user
Task-Scale Modes
| User Request Pattern | Execution Mode | Agents Deployed |
|---|---|---|
| "Thesis from start to finish", "full support" | Full Pipeline | All 5 agents |
| "Help me find a research topic" | Topic Exploration Mode | topic-explorer only |
| "Do a literature review" | Literature Review Mode | topic-explorer + literature-analyst |
| "Design my methodology" | Methodology Mode | methodology-expert only (uses existing RQ) |
| "Write my thesis", "draft writing" | Writing Mode | writing-coach + proofreader |
| "Proofread my thesis" (existing manuscript) | Proofreading Mode | proofreader only |
Existing material usage: If the user provides existing manuscripts, reference lists, etc., skip or augment the relevant phase.
Show full SKILL.md (259 more words)Show less
Data Transfer Protocol
| Strategy | Method | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| File-based | _workspace/ directory | Store and share major deliverables |
| Message-based | SendMessage | Real-time key information exchange, revision requests |
| Task-based | TaskCreate/TaskUpdate | Track progress |
File naming convention: {order}_{agent}_{deliverable}.{extension}
Error Handling
| Error Type | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Academic DB search failure | Substitute with web search; note "search limited" in report |
| Cannot determine field | Ask user narrowing questions; infer from interests |
| Existing manuscript format unclear | Apply standard dissertation format |
| Agent failure | Retry once -> proceed without that deliverable if still failing |
| Critical finding in proofreading | Request correction from relevant agent -> re-verify (max 2 rounds) |
Test Scenarios
Normal Flow
Prompt: "I want to write an education master's thesis. I'm interested in the impact of flipped learning on learning motivation." Expected Results:
- Topic proposal: Discover research gap in flipped learning x motivation, 3-5 RQs, candidate topic comparison
- Literature review: 20+ prior studies on flipped learning and motivation, theoretical framework
- Methodology: Quasi-experimental design or survey, sample/instruments/analysis methods
- Draft: Master's thesis structure (6 chapters), Introduction through Methods completed
- Proofreading: Format, style, and consistency verification
Existing File Flow
Prompt: "Proofread this manuscript" + thesis file attached Expected Results:
- Proofreading Mode (proofreader only)
- Grammar, format, and consistency verification report
Error Flow
Prompt: "Recommend a thesis topic; I haven't decided on a field yet" Expected Results:
- Ask questions about interests and strengths to narrow the field, then proceed with topic exploration
Agent Extension Skills
Extension skills that enhance each agent's domain expertise:
| Agent | Extension Skill | Role |
|---|---|---|
| methodology-expert | research-methodology | Research design matrix, sample size calculation, validity/reliability, analysis method selection |
| writing-coach, proofreader | academic-writing-style | Per-chapter thesis structure, academic style rules, APA citations, proofreading checklist |
