- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
The skill assists in writing and refining academic paper sections by processing local LaTeX files and experiment logs. No malicious code, data exfiltration, or obfuscation was detected. The skill carries a minor risk of indirect prompt injection due to its processing of external, potentially untrusted project documents, which is a common characteristic of document-analysis tools.

Paper Section Writer
Write a publication-quality section for an academic paper.
Input
$0— Section name:abstract,introduction,background,related-work,methods,experimental-setup,results,discussion,conclusion$1— (Optional) Path to context file (research plan, results, prior sections)
Workflow
Step 1: Gather Context
Read the paper's existing .tex files, experiment logs, result files, and any provided context. Understand: title, contributions, methodology, key results, figures, tables.
Step 2: Write the Section
Load section-specific tips from references/section-tips.md. Before every paragraph, include a brief plan as a LaTeX comment (% Plan: ...).
Step 3: Two-Pass Refinement
Apply both refinement passes from references/refinement-prompts.md:
- Pass 1: Fix errors (unenclosed math, broken refs, hallucinated numbers, duplicate labels)
- Pass 2: Remove redundancies, compress, ensure smooth transitions
