Is the Thesis Writer skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from ibrahim-kukash/thesis-writer. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Thesis Writer SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Thesis Writer?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Thesis Writer with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 104a611

Ran scripts/ai_scan.py on a deliberately AI-slop paragraph I wrote: it returned a quantified 0/100 score with 10 critical/2 medium/3 minor violations (banned words, however-chains, uniform sentence length, filler phrases), each with a concrete fix — far more actionable than the vague prose critique a baseline pass produces without the scanner.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 9/10
Docs & honesty 4/5

What Thesis Writer does

Writes MSc/PhD thesis sections with citation discipline (no fabrication, two-paper comparison rule, hedged claims), and separately scans existing thesis text for AI writing patterns via a rule-based scanner plus an independent QA-agent review. Triggers on thesis chapter writing, literature reviews, or 'scan my thesis for AI'; explicitly excludes non-academic humanizing and presentation work.
