What it does

用于用户提供一篇或少量学术论文后,进行专业深度精读,讲清研究问题、研究故事、方法或理论机制、关键证据、实验结果、可信边界、复现风险与研究启示,并生成高级 Markdown 报告和飞书文档。用户要求“论文精读”“深度解读”“分析方法与实验”“判断论文价值或局限”时使用。开放主题综述、单纯题录核验、论文代写或语言润色时不使用。

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

14- 快速建立论文全景和一句话核心贡献;
15- 重建“问题—缺口—洞察—方法—证据—结论”的研究故事;
16- 根据论文类型拆解技术方法、实证设计、理论框架或解释机制;
17- 深读决定性实验、图表、关键数字、消融和误差分析;
18- 主动发现反直觉结果、失效条件、未胜过基线和未被作者充分解释的现象;
19- 区分作者明确陈述、作者解释、分析推断和当前无法确认的信息;
20- 判断证据强度、可信边界、复现风险和适用条件;
21- 将论文转化为可以复用的研究洞察、行动建议和后续问题;
22- 生成具有专业研究咨询质感的 Markdown 精读报告,并进一步创建飞书文档。

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈50
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
6,575
on trigger
The instruction body and 1 supporting file, read only when the skill fires.
3.3%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 33% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

6.6k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Heavy. Teams tend to install this one per project rather than globally, and load it only when the job comes up.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

2 files, 26.5 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md20.1 kB
  • assets/report-template.md6.4 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 2 files you can review in full before installing.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Academic Paper Close Reading · 6.6k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/academic-paper-close-reading/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/academic-paper-close-reading" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/academic-paper-close-reading ] || { mv .claude/skills/academic-paper-close-reading "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/academic-paper-close-reading" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/academic-paper-close-reading"

npx mcprush@latest skill add ahang1598/academic-paper-close-reading

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/academic-paper-close-reading/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/academic-paper-close-reading/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/academic-paper-close-reading" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/academic-paper-close-reading ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/academic-paper-close-reading "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/academic-paper-close-reading" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/academic-paper-close-reading" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/academic-paper-close-reading/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where. It appears as doubao-paper-close-reading in Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot and Grok (its own name); Claude Code lists it by the folder name, academic-paper-close-reading.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
