At a glance

Bind papers to chapter-level sections first, writing outline/sectionbindings.jsonl and outline/sectionbindingreport.md.

  • SKILL.md covers Triggers & routing, Load Order, Inputs and Outputs, plus 2 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv

What it does

Section Bindings is an agent skill from WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills. Bind papers to chapter-level sections first, writing outline/sectionbindings.jsonl and outline/sectionbindingreport.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/output_contract.json`, `references/overview.md` and `scripts/run.py`).

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…

Example prompts

  • “/section-bindings”

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

Section Bindings loads about 472 tokens when it runs, and up to ~567 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~472
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~567

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 142 words (~472 tokens).

What does Section Bindings do?

Bind papers to chapter-level sections first, writing outline/sectionbindings.jsonl and outline/sectionbindingreport.md. Section Bindings is an agent skill from WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills.md.

How do I install Section Bindings in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills --skill section-bindings -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/section-bindings in WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills) into .claude/skills/section-bindings in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Section Bindings in Codex?

Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/section-bindings in WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills) into .agents/skills/section-bindings in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Section Bindings in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills --skill section-bindings -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/section-bindings, .gemini/skills/section-bindings, .github/skills/section-bindings and .opencode/skills/section-bindings in your project.

What does Section Bindings need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Section Bindings needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Section Bindings access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Section Bindings safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Section Bindings use?

How many tokens does Section Bindings use?

About 472 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 95 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
