Academic Writing

Provides expert academic writing support for scholarly papers, literature reviews, research methods, and thesis writing, adhering to strict academic standards.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only academic-writing helper whose required actions and resources are consistent with its stated purpose and it requests no unusual permissions or installs.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description match the SKILL.md instructions: all guidance is about academic writing, citations, formatting, and quality checks. No unrelated environment variables, binaries, or installs are requested.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are narrowly focused on academic outputs and citation verification. One operational note: the instructions require verifying that citations 'link to legitimate academic sources' and checking URLs — this implies the agent will need network access or an external tool to validate links at runtime. The SKILL.md also asks to wrap main content in <ama-doc> tags and use Markdown only, which is unusual but not harmful. Template variables ($DATE$, $SESSION_GROUP_ID) are mentioned but not defined here; that is a runtime substitution detail, not a security issue.

Install Mechanism

No install spec, no code files — instruction-only skill. This minimizes disk/write/execution risk.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. All requested behaviors are achievable without granting secrets.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent or elevated platform privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but is not combined with other concerning factors.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and low-risk because it is instruction-only and asks for no credentials or installs. Before use, confirm your agent/platform provides the expected runtime capabilities (internet access or a web-check tool) so the skill can verify citations as required. Also review whether you want outputs automatically formatted with the <ama-doc> wrapper and Markdown-only — if your workflow needs other formats, that may require post-processing. For high-stakes outputs (e.g., anything submitted for publication), manually verify cited sources and facts rather than relying solely on the agent's checks.

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
• Template variables (if any) like $DATE$, $SESSION_GROUP_ID$ may require runtime substitution
