proofreading-paper-writing

proofreading-paper-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chgagne/claude-skills-research. It costs 108 tokens per session (3,006 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An academic-paper proofreading skill for LaTeX source files. LaTeX is a text format commonly used to write technical papers; the skill marks writing changes in the PDF and produces a report about grammar, style, flow, and framing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to polish an ML or other academic paper's grammar, sentence clarity, terminology, paragraph flow, and presentation of ideas, with tracked changes and margin comments.
Why use it?
It separates writing problems from scientific-review comments, so authors can see what wording needs improvement without confusing it with changes to the research itself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

proofreading-paper-writing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 27 executable files (assets/antidote-rows.py, assets/fetch-corpus.py, assets/profile-stats.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Proofreading Paper Writing

Overview

A critical reader for the prose of an ML paper. It judges each sentence, paragraph and framing choice against a field profile (what well-written papers at the venue do) and phrases fixes in the author profile (how these authors write when they write well). Field decides what is a defect; author decides the wording of the fix. Proposals become a second changes.sty author, LG, in dark green, next to the blue science author CL that reviewing-paper-sources uses, so a reader sees at a glance which marks are about the science and which about the writing.

Four levels, tiered in the PDF: mechanics as bare track changes, style as track changes with a W<n> margin tag, flow and framing as margin comments only. Every W<n> is an entry in writing-report.md.

Inputs and outputs

Input: a paper directory with a compiling main.tex (or the pdfshim pseudo-source), optionally an existing main-annotated.tex from the reviewer. Outputs, all in the paper directory, none committed:

File Content
main-annotated.tex / .pdf existing CL markup plus LG markup
writing-report.md / .pdf header, counts, one entry per W<n>, cut appendix
writing-ledger.jsonl every proposal with its final status
glossary.md the paper's terms, first definitions, variants found

Private state (never in this repo): $STYLE_PROFILES_DIR (default ~/Claude/style-profiles) with profiles, sources, preferences.md, preferences-pending.md. See reference/building-style-profiles.md.

Workflow

0. Mode and profiles. Mode A (internal, authors will see the copy) runs everything. Mode B (external referee) runs only step 1 and writes its top ten findings as prose into the review's §8; no annotated copy, no calibration, no author profile. Then: does a field profile exist for this subfield, and an author profile for these authors? If not, propose corpora and build them (reference/building-style-profiles.md); if the user declines or the fetch fails, run on reference/style-defaults.md alone and say so in the report header. In Mode A, if /Applications/Antidote exists, ask in the same round whether to add the Antidote pass (step 3b). Read preferences.md now; every rule in it binds every agent below.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
