Academic Paper

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 16, 2026.

Overview

The provided artifacts show an instruction-only academic writing helper that delegates draft work across agents and edits manuscript files, with no evidence of code execution, credential use, purchases, or data exfiltration.

This appears safe to use as a prompt-based academic writing assistant, but treat it like any AI writing workflow: do not provide confidential research unless permitted, review all edits and citations, and verify journal submission statements before use.

Findings (3)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

Your draft, sources, reviewer comments, or other paper materials may be processed by multiple AI subagents/provider components.

Why it was flagged

The skill clearly discloses that manuscript content is passed through a delegated-agent workflow, which is expected for its multi-agent writing purpose but may involve sensitive unpublished research.

Skill content
This skill delegates writing tasks across multiple subagents. Paper content is processed through the AI provider's delegated-agent workflow. Use only with content you are comfortable having processed by AI.
Recommendation

Use it only for material you are allowed to share with the AI provider, and avoid confidential, regulated, or embargoed research unless your policies permit it.

What this means

The skill may directly alter citations, references, and draft text during formatting or compliance checks.

Why it was flagged

The citation agent is instructed to make direct draft corrections. This is purpose-aligned for citation cleanup, but users should review edits because citations and references can affect academic accuracy.

Skill content
Auto-correct — fix errors directly, don't just report them
Recommendation

Review diffs or the correction log before relying on the final manuscript, especially before submission.

What this means

If copied without review, the generated cover letter could include inaccurate or unauthorized submission statements.

Why it was flagged

The cover-letter template includes factual publication and authorship declarations that may be normal for submissions but must be true for the user's situation.

Skill content
This manuscript has not been published elsewhere and is not under consideration by another journal. All authors have approved the manuscript and agree with its submission
Recommendation

Verify all cover-letter declarations, author approvals, conflicts, funding statements, and submission status before sending them to a journal.
