survey-writer

survey-writer is a skill for Codex from chtc66/academic-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (577 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Chinese survey-writing workflow that organizes several academic papers around one research topic into a structured overview. It focuses on research problems, groups of methods, how approaches developed, comparisons, and open questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Drafting short or long surveys from papers, abstracts, links, PDFs, or an existing related-work list; comparing methods; outlining research progress; and identifying open problems.
Why use it?
It turns scattered papers or abstracts into a coherent research map while clearly marking incomplete coverage and unsupported details.

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

survey-writer 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 11d ago.

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.

What it actually says

Survey Writer

用这个 skill 围绕一个研究主题组织多篇论文,输出中文综述草稿。重点是梳理研究问题、方法演化、代表性路线和当前局限,而不是逐篇摘要拼接。

工作流

  1. 先确认覆盖范围:主题边界、论文数量、输入完整度。
  2. 判断输出模式:简版综述或长版综述。
  3. 依据 references/comparison_dimensions.md 建立对比维度。
  4. 依据 references/related_work_patterns.md 组织 related work 语言。
  5. 依据 references/survey_template.md 输出综述草稿。

模式选择

  • 在材料较少、用户只需快速整理时,输出简版综述。
  • 在材料较多、需要形成成稿框架时,输出长版综述。
  • 如果输入覆盖不全,在开头明确说明“当前综述仅覆盖已提供材料,不代表完整文献全景”。

输入处理规则

  • 接收研究主题、多篇标题、摘要、PDF、链接,或用户已有的相关工作列表。
  • 如果不同论文信息粒度不一致,先按可比字段组织,再明确缺口。
  • 如果用户只给了论文列表而没有内容,先做结构化框架和阅读建议,不要伪造具体实验细节。

输出规则

  • 不要按“论文 A 说了什么、论文 B 说了什么”的流水账方式写作。
  • 强调问题定义、方法分类、方法演化、代表性工作对比和开放问题。
  • 在 benchmark、dataset、metric 部分,只总结输入中明确出现的信息。
  • 在“开放问题”和“值得继续看的方向”部分,区分已有证据支持的趋势与个人推断。

证据与表述约束

  • 不要把覆盖不全的材料写成全面综述。
  • 不要编造时间线、代表作地位或 benchmark 事实。
  • 如果论文数量过少,明确输出“这是初步综述草稿,不足以代表完整研究版图”。

何时读引用文件

  • 始终读取 references/survey_template.md
  • 在组织论文比较时读取 references/comparison_dimensions.md
  • 在写 related work 段落时读取 references/related_work_patterns.md
Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
