What it does
Prose Writer is an agent skill from WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills. Write output/DRAFT.md (or output/SNAPSHOT.md) from an approved outline and evidence packs, using only verified citation keys from citations/ref.bib.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/run.py`).
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
- “/prose-writer”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Gate check (HITL)
- Input integrity check (fail fast)
- Planner pass (NO PROSE YET)
- Writer pass (write per subsection; avoid global dump)
- Weave transitions (coherence)
- Integrate cross-cutting artifacts (paper-like)
- Self-check + revise (hard fail signals)
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
Prose Writer loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,506 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,506 words (~3,309 tokens).
“Goal: produce a survey draft that reads like a real paper because it is driven by evidence packs, not by outline placeholders.”
