Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a research skill usually looks things up on the internet.

Automatically write empirical sections of academic papers in LaTeX by reading tables/figures from a PDF. Trigger when user wants to write a paper from empirical results, has tables/figures in PDF, or says "write paper" / "paper-writer" / "写论文".

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'paper-writer' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'paper-writer' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named paper-writer 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '8684584e7d1127940f018157d2c579974fae8f79' -- 'skills/67-econfin-workflow-toolkit/paper-writer' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/67-econfin-workflow-toolkit/paper-writer' ~/.agents/skills/'paper-writer' && 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/'paper-writer' ~/.claude/skills/'paper-writer' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
