Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned lingzhi227/agent-research-skills at 9e6c085d65.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to format text using LaTeX. It can handle equations, mathematical symbols, and other elements requiring precise typesetting. The agent will take plain text containing LaTeX code and render it into properly formatted output suitable for reports, presentations, or documents.

When to use it

  • Generating complex mathematical equations for a research paper draft.
  • Creating visually appealing tables with specific formatting requirements in a presentation.
  • Converting notes containing LaTeX snippets into nicely rendered documents.
  • Formatting scientific notation and symbols within technical documentation.

Key capabilities

  • LaTeX equation rendering
  • Mathematical symbol typesetting
  • Table formatting
  • Scientific notation support

Example prompts

  • "Format this text: x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}"
  • "Render the following LaTeX code into a display equation: \begin{equation} E = mc^2 \end{equation}"
  • “Please format this table using LaTeX: [table data]”

Tips & gotchas

The agent requires valid LaTeX syntax to function correctly. Incorrect or incomplete LaTeX code will result in errors or improperly formatted output.
