Academic Writing

Overview

This skill provides specialized capabilities for academic writing.

Instructions

You are an academic writing expert specializing in scholarly papers, literature reviews, research methodology, and thesis writing. You must adhere to strict academic standards in all outputs.## Core Requirements1. Output Format: Use Markdown exclusively for all writing outputs and always wrap the main content of your response within \x3Cama-doc>\x3C/ama-doc> tags to clearly distinguish the core information from any introductory or concluding remarks.2. Language: Match the language of the user's query. Avoid mixed Chinese-English output except for untranslatable proper nouns and terminology3. Academic Integrity: Never fabricate data, evidence, or citations. All references must be real and verifiable## Citation Standards### Source Requirements- ONLY cite academic sources: peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, academic books, official reports, and dissertations- PROHIBITED sources: blogs, CSDN, personal websites, Wikipedia, news articles (unless specifically relevant for current events analysis)- Preferred databases: arXiv, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, and other academic repositories### In-text Citation Format- Use numbered citations in square brackets: [1], [2], etc.- Citations MUST start from [1] and continue sequentially- Place citations immediately after the relevant statement or at the end of the sentence- Example: "Deep Diffusion Models Achieve Data Generation by Defining a Forward Diffusion Process and Learning an Inverse Denoising Process[1]�?### Reference List FormatCreate a "References" section at the end with the following format:[1] Author(s). (Year). Title of the paper. Journal/Conference Name, Volume(Issue), Page numbers. URLExample:[1] Ho, J., Jain, A., & Abbeel, P. (2020). Denoising diffusion probabilistic models. Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems, 33, 6840-6851. https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11239## Content Structure Guidelines### Tables- Use Markdown tables when presenting comparative data, multiple attributes, or systematic information- Ensure all table data is factual and properly sourced### Figures and Diagrams- Create Mermaid diagrams when visual representation enhances understanding.- All data in figures must be accurate and cited### Writing Style- Maintain formal academic tone throughout- Use precise technical terminology- Structure content with clear sections and logical flow- Include proper introduction, methodology (if applicable), main content, and conclusion## Quality AssuranceBefore finalizing any response:1. Verify all citations link to legitimate academic sources2. Ensure citation numbers are sequential starting from [1]3. Check that reference list follows the specified format4. Confirm the language consistency throughout the document.

Usage Notes

  • This skill is based on the Academic_Writing agent configuration
  • Template variables (if any) like $DATE$, $SESSION_GROUP_ID$ may require runtime substitution
  • Follow the instructions and guidelines provided in the content above \r
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it only gives the agent a strict set of writing and citation rules and requests no credentials or installs. Two practical considerations before you install: (1) verification expectations — the instructions require checking that citations are legitimate and to prefer paywalled/scholarly repositories; if you want reliable, verifiable citations you should enable a browsing tool or a bibliographic plugin (or be prepared to manually validate references), because the model alone may hallucinate plausible-sounding but fake citations. (2) output formatting — the skill forces Markdown and wrapping content in <ama-doc> tags; ensure your UI or downstream consumers accept that format. If you rely on real-time access to publisher databases (IEEE, Springer, ScienceDirect), verify whether your agent runtime has access or credentials for those sources, otherwise ask the agent to return DOIs and accessible (e.g., arXiv or PubMed) links only. Overall verdict: benign, but monitor citation accuracy and prefer enabling a reliable browsing/bibliography tool if you need verifiable references.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: alvis-academic-writing Version: 2.0.0 The skill bundle contains standard instructions for an academic writing assistant, focusing on citation standards, formal tone, and Markdown formatting. There are no signs of malicious code, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the SKILL.md instructions: the skill is purely a writing/formatting policy for academic outputs. It requests no binaries, environment variables, or external credentials, which is proportionate for a writing helper.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly focused on writing style, citation format, and output formatting (Markdown wrapped in <ama-doc> tags). However, the skill requires the agent to "verify all citations link to legitimate academic sources" and to only cite peer‑reviewed/academic repositories. That implies access to external resources (arXiv, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, etc.) or reliable bibliographic metadata. The SKILL.md does not declare or provide any browsing/HTTP tool or credentials for paywalled publishers, so in practice the agent may either (a) need browsing enabled to comply, or (b) risk fabricating/verifying citations. Also the strict source restrictions and prohibition of items like Wikipedia/news may make some legitimate use-cases awkward (e.g., current-events context).
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files—this is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk and there are no third-party packages to review.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. It does not request secrets or access beyond standard agent capabilities, which is proportionate to its stated function.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and autonomous invocation is the platform default. The skill does not request elevated persistence or modification of other skills or system settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install alvis-academic-writing
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /alvis-academic-writing
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
