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

By jin-s13/ai-research-writing-skill (GitHub) · research · 64 stars · scanned at commit e8b5de9

End-to-end research paper generation, review, and revision for ML/AI/CV/NLP projects from repositories, notes, experiment logs, drafts, and conference templates. Use when building a paper story, mapping claims to evidence, writing or revising sections, producing figures and tables, verifying citations, acting as a skeptical reviewer, running venue or build checks, or preparing a LaTeX/Overleaf/Git submission package.

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ai-research-writing-skill' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ai-research-writing-skill' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ai-research-writing-skill already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/jin-s13/ai-research-writing-skill' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'e8b5de964737350757b5b17d8a658a22943c9595' -- '.' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d/." ~/.agents/skills/'ai-research-writing-skill' && rm -rf ~/.agents/skills/'ai-research-writing-skill'/.git && 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/'ai-research-writing-skill' ~/.claude/skills/'ai-research-writing-skill' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
