Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Runtime Compatibility
- Codex: install under
~/.agents/skills/academic-paper-polishand useagents/openai.yamlfor UI metadata. - Hermes: install under
~/.hermes/skills/academic-paper-polishor expose the bundle throughskills.external_dirs. - Resolve bundled files relative to this skill directory; do not depend on paths from another runtime.
- Map capabilities to the current runtime: Codex image generation uses
image_gen; Hermes usesimage_generate. - Verify binaries, packages, credentials, network access, and tool availability before execution.
Academic Paper Polish
Improve an academic draft without changing its scientific meaning.
Workflow
- Identify the field, venue, audience, manuscript section, and requested level of editing.
- Preserve claims, equations, variable names, citations, and technical terminology.
- Improve argument order, paragraph logic, transitions, concision, and hedging.
- Flag claims that need evidence instead of inventing sources.
- Return either tracked suggestions, a revised passage, or both, according to the request.
- Perform a final consistency check for abbreviations, tense, terminology, figure references, and citation style.
Bundled References
references/section-phrases.md: section-specific rhetorical patterns.references/vocabulary.md: precise academic wording and weak-phrase replacements.references/ai-polish.md: reusable editing prompts and verification passes.
Boundaries
- Do not fabricate experiments, results, references, reviewer comments, or statistical significance.
- Distinguish language polishing from substantive scientific review.
- Keep author voice when the user supplies a style sample.
