The skill's own claim that the git bridge 'works on any machine for any user' doesn't hold up: Overleaf's own docs confirm git integration is a premium feature unavailable on the free plan (Standard ~$21/mo or higher), a real paywall the skill walks users through full token setup without ever mentioning.

What Overleaf (Git Bridge) does
Guides token setup, project cloning, and the pull/edit/commit/push loop for editing an Overleaf LaTeX project locally, plus a documented procedure for adding a conference rebuttal scaffold. Triggers when a user wants to view, edit, or sync an Overleaf paper from the CLI. Neither SKILL.md nor the README mentions that Overleaf's git integration is a paid-plan-only feature.
