What it does
Writing Polish is an agent skill from ZimoLiao/scholaraio. Use when the user wants to polish academic prose, remove AI-generated patterns, improve clarity, or adapt English or Chinese writing to a target style or journal.
Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Scholar All-In-One: A research infrastructure for AI agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to polish academic prose
- Remove AI-generated patterns
- Improve clarity
- Chinese writing to a target style
Example prompts
- “/writing-polish”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 777628b. 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
Writing Polish loads about 431 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 123 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.

学术写作润色
去除 AI 痕迹、提升表达质量、匹配目标风格。支持中英文。
执行逻辑
1. 了解需求
向用户确认：
- 待润色文本：粘贴、文件路径、或 workspace 中的文件
- 润色方向：去 AI 味 / 学术规范 / 风格适配 / 全部
- 目标语言：中文 / English（是否需要翻译）
- 风格参考（可选）：用户提供同期刊/同领域的范文，你来提取风格特征并仿照
2. 风格分析（如有范文）
当用户提供风格参考时，先分析范文的：
- 句式特征：句子平均长度、主动/被动语态比例、从句嵌套深度
- 术语习惯：领域专用词的选择偏好（如 "utilize" vs "use"）
- 段落结构：每段几句话、topic sentence 位置、过渡方式
- 引用风格：引用密度（每段几处）、引用位置（句首/句中/句尾）
- 形式化程度：口语化 vs 高度形式化
将分析结果展示给用户确认，然后据此润色。
3. AI 痕迹检测与消除
常见 AI 写作模式（必须消除）：
英文：
- 空洞开头："In recent years, X has garnered significant attention..."
- 过度连接词："Furthermore", "Moreover", "It is worth noting that"
- 虚假精确："a myriad of", "a plethora of", "a paradigm shift"
- 套话结尾："paving the way for future research"
- 过度对称的段落结构（每段长度几乎相同）
- 不必要的元叙述："This section discusses...", "As mentioned above..."
中文：
- "值得注意的是"、"不可忽视的是"
- "近年来，X引起了广泛关注"
- "具有重要的理论意义和实践价值"
- "为...提供了新的思路/视角"
- 过度使用"进行"（"进行研究"→"研究"）
4. 学术规范检查
- 逻辑连贯：段落间是否有清晰的因果/对比/递进关系
- 表述精确：模糊表达（"很多"、"一些"、"significantly"）替换为具体数据
- 被动语态适度：科技写作允许被动，但不应全文被动
- 术语一致：同一概念全文统一用词
- 时态正确：方法/结果用过去时，普遍结论用现在时
5. 输出
- 直接给出润色后的文本
- 标注主要修改点（如用户要求）
- 如果是文件，保存润色版本到同目录（如
introduction-polished.md）
原则
- 保留作者的学术判断：只改表达方式，不改观点和论证逻辑
- 最小修改：能改一个词解决的不改整句
- 保持个人风格：如果原文有作者自己的表达习惯且不影响清晰度，保留
- 不加内容：润色不是扩写，不添加原文没有的论点或引用
示例
用户说："帮我把这段 Introduction 润色一下，去掉 AI 味" → 检测 AI 模式，替换为自然的学术表达
用户说："我有一篇 JFM 的范文，帮我按这个风格改写我的 Discussion" → 分析 JFM 范文风格，据此润色 Discussion
用户说："帮我把这段中文翻译成学术英语" → 翻译并润色，确保符合英文学术写作规范
