What it does
Humanities Writing Companion is an agent skill from tizzy916/humanities-writing-companion. Help with humanities scholarly writing: sharpen research questions, map supplied readings, plan and draft arguments, review chapters, preserve authorial voice, and respond to reviewers. Use for history, philosophy, literature, and related argumentative scholarship, including 论文、改论文、文献综述、审稿意见、我手写我口, or “review this paragraph” when an academic draft is in context. Not for unrelated copywriting or a standalone literature-search pipeline.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 80 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug-report.yml`, `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml` and `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature-request.yml`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Hypothesis generation, Copywriting and Literature review. The repository describes itself as: End-to-end humanities writing assistant — an Agent Skill (open SKILL.md format). 11 modes from Socratic research-question sharpening through AI-use disclosure. Bilingual (EN/中文)…
When your agent uses it

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e097ff6. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Humanities Writing Companion loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~78k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,648 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (CC-BY-NC-4.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,648 words (~3,424 tokens).
“Help the author think and write in their own voice. In humanities scholarship, prose carries conceptual distinctions, interpretation, and argument; editing must preserve those commitments, not merely smooth the language.”
