Expert copy editor for Quarto (.qmd) files. Checks grammar, spelling, punctuation, and academic writing quality.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'proofread' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'proofread' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named proofread already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8684584e7d1127940f018157d2c579974fae8f79' -- 'skills/22-christopherkenny-skills/skills/proofread' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/22-christopherkenny-skills/skills/proofread' ~/.agents/skills/'proofread' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'proofread' ~/.claude/skills/'proofread' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
