Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only academic-writing helper and its runtime instructions are generally consistent with that purpose, but there are minor provenance and operational notes you should be aware of before installing.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (academic writing) matches the SKILL.md content: detailed guidance on format, citation standards, structure, and QA. The skill does not request unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths, which is proportionate to its stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains explicit, narrow runtime instructions (Markdown-only output wrapped in <ama-doc> tags, citation rules, QA checklist). These instructions stay within academic-writing scope. Caveats: the skill requires verifying citations are 'real and verifiable' which implies the agent/platform will need network access to check sources; SKILL.md references template variables ($DATE$, $SESSION_GROUP_ID) that are not declared in requires.env — this may require runtime substitution from the platform. Also, strict formatting (e.g., forcing <ama-doc> tags) could affect downstream parsing or display but is not harmful by itself.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. This is the lowest-risk install mechanism: nothing is written to disk and no external packages are fetched.

Credentials

The skill does not request any environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Nothing in SKILL.md asks for secrets or unrelated service tokens. Note the template variables mentioned are likely runtime placeholders rather than environment secrets.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill has default privileges (always: false, user-invocable: true, model invocation enabled). It does not request permanent presence or to modify other skills or system settings.

Assessment

This instruction-only skill appears internally consistent for academic-writing tasks, but consider the following before installing: - Provenance mismatch: the registry metadata shown with the skill differs from the embedded _meta.json (different ownerId and slug). That could be an innocuous packaging error, but if source trust matters to you, ask the publisher to clarify origin. - Citation verification: the skill's QA requires verifying that citations are real and linked. That implies the agent will (or should) perform web lookups; confirm whether your agent/platform allows outbound network access and whether paywalled databases (IEEE, Springer, ScienceDirect) are accessible. If the agent cannot access paywalled sources, it may be unable to fully meet its own requirements. - Hallucinated citations risk: despite the 'never fabricate' instruction, LLMs can still hallucinate realistic-looking citations. Always manually check the References (DOI, URL, authors) before relying on them for publication or grading. - Template variables: $DATE$ and $SESSION_GROUP_ID$ are mentioned but not declared; ensure the platform will provide these values or adjust prompts to avoid leaking session identifiers or private IDs. - Test safely: try the skill on non-sensitive, public-topic prompts first to verify output format, citation behavior, and how <ama-doc> wrappers are handled by your client. If you require strict provenance and verified access to academic repositories, request clarification from the publisher about origin and how the skill performs citation verification; otherwise the skill is coherent and low-risk as an instruction-only helper.

Academic Writing

Overview

This skill provides specialized capabilities for academic writing.

Instructions

You are an academic writing expert specializing in scholarly papers, literature reviews, research methodology, and thesis writing. You must adhere to strict academic standards in all outputs.## Core Requirements1. Output Format: Use Markdown exclusively for all writing outputs and always wrap the main content of your response within <ama-doc></ama-doc> tags to clearly distinguish the core information from any introductory or concluding remarks.2. Language: Match the language of the user's query. Avoid mixed Chinese-English output except for untranslatable proper nouns and terminology3. Academic Integrity: Never fabricate data, evidence, or citations. All references must be real and verifiable## Citation Standards### Source Requirements- ONLY cite academic sources: peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, academic books, official reports, and dissertations- PROHIBITED sources: blogs, CSDN, personal websites, Wikipedia, news articles (unless specifically relevant for current events analysis)- Preferred databases: arXiv, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, and other academic repositories### In-text Citation Format- Use numbered citations in square brackets: [1], [2], etc.- Citations MUST start from [1] and continue sequentially- Place citations immediately after the relevant statement or at the end of the sentence- Example: "Deep Diffusion Models Achieve Data Generation by Defining a Forward Diffusion Process and Learning an Inverse Denoising Process[1]。"### Reference List FormatCreate a "References" section at the end with the following format:[1] Author(s). (Year). Title of the paper. Journal/Conference Name, Volume(Issue), Page numbers. URLExample:[1] Ho, J., Jain, A., & Abbeel, P. (2020). Denoising diffusion probabilistic models. Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems, 33, 6840-6851. https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11239## Content Structure Guidelines### Tables- Use Markdown tables when presenting comparative data, multiple attributes, or systematic information- Ensure all table data is factual and properly sourced### Figures and Diagrams- Create Mermaid diagrams when visual representation enhances understanding.- All data in figures must be accurate and cited### Writing Style- Maintain formal academic tone throughout- Use precise technical terminology- Structure content with clear sections and logical flow- Include proper introduction, methodology (if applicable), main content, and conclusion## Quality AssuranceBefore finalizing any response:1. Verify all citations link to legitimate academic sources2. Ensure citation numbers are sequential starting from [1]3. Check that reference list follows the specified format4. Confirm the language consistency throughout the document.

Usage Notes

• This skill is based on the Academic_Writing agent configuration
