Live repository

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 bahayonghang/academic-writing-skills at 00fc942c32.

    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

The paper-audit skill helps users systematically review academic papers for potential issues. It can identify areas needing revision, check for consistency in formatting and citations, and provide suggestions to improve clarity and overall quality.

When to use it

  • Finalizing a draft: Before submitting an academic paper, use this skill to catch any lingering errors or inconsistencies.
  • Peer review assistance: Leverage the tool to provide constructive feedback on a colleague's work.
  • Ensuring compliance with style guides: Verify adherence to specific formatting and citation guidelines (e.g., APA, MLA).
  • Improving clarity for a wider audience: Refine language and structure to make complex ideas more accessible.

Key capabilities

  • Error identification
  • Consistency checking
  • Formatting verification
  • Citation analysis
  • Clarity suggestions

Example prompts

  • "Please audit this paper draft for any inconsistencies in formatting."
  • "Can you check the citations in this document against APA guidelines?"
  • "Review this section of my paper and suggest ways to improve clarity."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of paper-audit depends on the quality of the initial draft. While it can identify issues, it's not a substitute for careful human review and understanding of the subject matter.
