What it does
Academic Writing is an agent skill from wentorai/Research-Claw. Academic writing expert specializing in scholarly papers, literature reviews, research methodology, and thesis writing with strict academic standards.
Its SKILL.md is about 900 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 Research & Science, covering Scientific writing, Essays and academic help and Literature review. The repository describes itself as: In the AI era, why can't everyone be a Principal Investigator?
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Scientific writing
- Tasks that involve Essays and academic help
- Tasks that involve Literature review
Example prompts
- “/academic-writing”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Output Format: Use Markdown exclusively for all writing outputs and always wrap the main content of your response within tags to clearly…
- Language: Match the language of the user's query. Avoid mixed Chinese-English output except for untranslatable proper nouns and terminology.
- Academic Integrity: Never fabricate data, evidence, or citations. All references must be real and verifiable.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5015be7. 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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
arxiv.org
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
Academic Writing loads about 896 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 376 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 376 words (~896 tokens).
