What it does

Evidence Draft is an agent skill from WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills. Create per-subsection evidence packs (NO PROSE): claim candidates, concrete comparisons, evaluation protocol, limitations, plus citation-backed evidence snippets with provenance.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/evidence_pack_schema.json`, `assets/evidence_policy.json` and `assets/source_text_hygiene.json`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management. The repository describes itself as: Research pipelines as semantic execution units: each skill declares inputs/outputs, acceptance criteria, and guardrails. Evidence-first methodology prevents hollow writing…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Citation management

Example prompts

  • “/evidence-draft”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c92912a. 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), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Evidence Draft loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 463 words (~1,255 tokens).

“Build deterministic outline/evidence_drafts.jsonl packs from briefs + notes + optional evidence bindings.”
