Norman-bury/research-writing-skill is an agent skill that turns academic paper writing into a tracked, reusable workflow with planning, drafting, reviews, figures, literature work, and LaTeX outputs. It is intended for undergraduate students, graduate students, and early-career researchers working on theses, coursework papers, or initial submissions. Its catalogue entries are the skills, instructions, plugin, and hook that implement the workflow across coding-agent platforms.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00018 | $0.01694 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00847 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00339 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00169 |
Grade A, and why
writing-humanities 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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
文科写作专项
本技能针对人文社科类论文的写作特点，提供专项指导。
一、文科论文特点
与理工科的区别
| 方面 | 理工科 | 文科/社科 |
|---|---|---|
| 核心 | 实验数据、技术方法 | 论证逻辑、理论分析 |
| 结构 | IMRAD标准结构 | 灵活多样 |
| 图表 | 数据图表为主 | 概念图、流程图为主 |
| 引用 | 侧重近5年文献 | 可追溯经典文献 |
| 语言 | 简洁客观 | 可适度文学化 |
常见文科论文类型
- 文学评论：作品分析、文学理论应用
- 历史研究：史料分析、历史事件解读
- 哲学论文：概念辨析、逻辑论证
- 教育研究：教学实践、教育理论
- 社会学研究：社会现象分析、调查研究
二、论证结构
常用论证模式
总-分-总结构
引出论点 → 分论点1 + 论据 → 分论点2 + 论据 → 分论点3 + 论据 → 总结升华
递进式结构
现象描述 → 原因分析 → 深层探讨 → 解决方案/理论建构
对比式结构
观点A阐述 → 观点B阐述 → 比较分析 → 综合评价 → 自己立场
问题导向结构
提出问题 → 文献回顾 → 理论框架 → 分析论证 → 回答问题
论证要素
论点（Thesis）
- 明确、具体、可论证
- 避免过于宽泛或绝对化
- ❌ "鲁迅很伟大"
- ✅ "鲁迅杂文中的讽刺手法体现了其批判现实主义精神"
论据（Evidence）
- 文本证据：原文引用、作品分析
- 理论支撑：学术观点、理论框架
- 事实依据：历史事件、统计数据、案例
论证（Argument）
- 逻辑推理清晰
- 论据与论点紧密关联
- 避免逻辑跳跃
三、写作风格
学术语言特点
客观性
- ❌ 我认为这部作品非常感人
- ✅ 该作品通过细腻的心理描写引发读者的情感共鸣
准确性
- ❌ 很多学者都这样认为
- ✅ 王国维（1927）、朱光潜（1932）等学者均持此观点
规范性
- 使用学科专业术语
- 避免口语化表达
- 保持人称一致（通常用第三人称或"本文"）

| 大家都知道 | 学界普遍认为/众所周知 |
| 肯定是 | 可以推断/有理由认为 |
| 绝对正确 | 具有一定的合理性 |
| 完全错误 | 存在值得商榷之处 |
四、文献引用
引用方式
直接引用
- 短引用（40字以内）：融入正文，加引号

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.
- 12d ago First seen · 233 lines · 18 tokens per session scan A 8563c27d032a
writing-humanities is a skill published in the GitHub repository Norman-bury/research-writing-skill (3,187 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 1,694 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
