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/'unslop-academic-writing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'unslop-academic-writing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named unslop-academic-writing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '70b6a3a3a7c774671e45af646306e1448baf0511' -- 'plugins/KalarisLabs/research-agent-skills/skills/unslop-academic-writing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/KalarisLabs/research-agent-skills/skills/unslop-academic-writing' ~/.agents/skills/'unslop-academic-writing' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
