Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a research skill usually looks things up on the internet.

Write, structure, or revise academic paper sections, keep notation consistent, refine figures and tables, and set up or fix the LaTeX build (TeX distribution, biber vs bibtex, venue templates, compilation). Use when the user says "write the abstract", "structure the methods", "improve this section", "notation consistency", "figure refinement", "paper structure", "setup latex", "biber vs bibtex", "latex compilation error", "install latex packages", "venue template", or "texlive setup".

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'paper-write' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'paper-write' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named paper-write already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/fcakyon/labrat' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '04877622ff124d92d9ee8377109499c0afc6bf01' -- 'plugin/skills/paper-write' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugin/skills/paper-write' ~/.agents/skills/'paper-write' && 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-write' ~/.claude/skills/'paper-write' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
