What it does

Paper Writer is an agent skill from XueruiSu/Paper-PRISM. Use when Codex needs to write, rewrite, or extend PaperPRISM paper prose or LaTeX while respecting claims, evidence, and WritingPlan constraints.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 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 Documents & Office, covering LaTeX. It works with LaTeX.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex needs to write
  • Extend PaperPRISM paper prose
  • LaTeX while respecting claims
  • WritingPlan constraints

Example prompts

  • “/paper-writer”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the target slots from ClozeBlueprint.md.
  2. Read the target section, current draft, or LaTeX file.
  3. Check ClaimEvidenceMap before strong claims.
  4. Fill only assigned slots unless broader edits are necessary and user-approved.
  5. Keep unsupported claims out of assertive prose.
  6. If a needed sentence slot is missing, stop and route to logical-template-builder.
  7. Update sentence slot status from planned to drafted; do not mark it supported or verified yourself.
  8. Route drafted slots to claim-evidence-mapper for support status.
  9. Update PaperState with filled slots, changed prose, and open evidence gaps.
  10. Compile or request compilation through tool calls when PDF delivery is part of the task only after export gates pass.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 13e134f. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Paper Writer loads about 512 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~512

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 251 words (~512 tokens).
