Paper Writing Workflow

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent academic paper-writing workflow with only a small local helper script and no evidence of credential access, network access, destructive actions, or hidden persistence.

This appears safe to install for academic drafting, but treat it as a workflow coordinator: review any companion skills it calls, expect local Markdown output when using the helper script, and verify generated citations, claims, and journal formatting before relying on the result.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The trigger keywords are broad and overlap with ordinary academic-writing requests such as 'paper writing' and 'thesis writing'. This can cause the workflow to activate unintentionally for generic requests, expanding the skill's scope and potentially invoking multiple downstream writing/research skills without the user explicitly requesting this workflow.
