What it does

Academic Research is an agent skill from voidful/academic-skills. Complete academic research skill suite covering the full pipeline: paper reading (read/explain papers with storytelling), idea generation (brainstorm research directions), experiment design (plan experiments, ablation, baselines), proof writing (mathematical proofs, LaTeX theorems), paper writing (draft to camera-ready for top venues like NeurIPS/ICLR/ACL), paper review (structured 4-step review with scoring), and professor fit analysis (evaluate advisors, cold emails, interview strategy). Trigger keywords: read…

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `CLAUDE.md`, `README.md` and `shared/chinese-academic-glossary.md`). Compatibility notes: Works with Claude Code, ChatGPT/Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Brainstorming, Cold outreach and Peer review. It works with LaTeX and arXiv. The repository describes itself as: A complete academic research Skill suite. Supports Claude Code, ChatGPT / Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Keywords: read paper
  • Experiment design

Example prompts

  • “/academic-research”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Works with Claude Code, ChatGPT/Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71e9c42. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • agentskills.io

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Works with Claude Code, ChatGPT/Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Academic Research loads about 887 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 182 tokens; SKILL.md has 115 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~182
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~887

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.
