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
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for academic writing: it asks the agent to produce Markdown wrapped in <ama-doc> tags and to verify and cite only academic sources. Before installing, note: (1) the skill may cause the agent to fetch and validate external papers/URLs — ensure your agent's web access and browsing policies are acceptable; (2) the README shows an optional git clone/install step if you want a local copy—only perform that if you trust the repository owner and review repository contents, because cloning arbitrary repos can introduce code; (3) the SKILL.md references template variables like $SESSION_GROUP_ID$ — confirm whether those will be substituted and whether they contain any sensitive identifiers you don't want exposed; (4) the strict citation rules may cause the agent to refuse non-academic sources even when such sources would be appropriate. If you want extra caution, test the skill in a sandboxed agent instance or review the full SKILL.md/README in a safe environment before enabling it for production use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: toby-academic-writing Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is a standard prompt engineering template for an academic writing assistant. The instructions in SKILL.md focus on enforcing academic integrity, citation standards (e.g., using peer-reviewed sources), and specific output formatting using Markdown and Mermaid diagrams. No malicious code, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection attempts were identified.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (academic writing, citations, methodology) align with the SKILL.md instructions (formatting, citation rules, sources to prefer). There are no unrelated required binaries, environment variables, or credentials.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are focused on writing, citation formatting, and quality checks. They require the agent to verify references and link to legitimate academic sources, which implies the agent may need to fetch or validate external resources (normal for this skill). The SKILL.md also mandates wrapping output in <ama-doc> tags and strict source restrictions; this is unusual but coherent with the skill's goals. Template variables (e.g., $DATE$, $SESSION_GROUP_ID$) are mentioned and could require runtime substitution — review how substitutions are handled to avoid leaking session metadata if those values are sensitive.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. README shows optional manual git clone instructions, but the published skill itself does not install or execute code. This minimizes installation risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Nothing appears disproportionate to an academic-writing assistant.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable/autonomous invocation is unchanged (platform default). The skill does not request persistent presence or system-level configuration changes.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install toby-academic-writing
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /toby-academic-writing
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
