Is the Write Academic Report skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from PHY041/claude-skill-write-academic-report. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Write Academic Report SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Write Academic Report?

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 Write Academic Report 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 25, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 30, 2026 · 67a40fd

⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 25, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Ran both bundled scripts live. cross_ref_audit.py caught all four planted defects in a two-chapter LaTeX project — a duplicate \label across files, an undefined \ref, a hallucinated \cite with no bib entry, and a duplicate BibTeX key — exiting non-zero for CI. citation_checker.py made real API calls to CrossRef/Semantic Scholar/OpenAlex: it verified 'Attention Is All You Need' across 2+ sources and flagged a fabricated entry as NOT FOUND with a future-year red flag, catching what eyeballing a .bib cannot (DOI validation, chimeric title/author mismatch). The headline '3-4x faster / validated on an 86-page report' speed claim was not measured. Installs verbatim from a bare HOME.

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

Triggers reliably 5/5

What Write Academic Report does

Turns a research repository into a publication-quality LaTeX thesis, FYP, or dissertation using a three-wave parallel-agent pipeline (data extraction, parallel chapter writing, then assembly and compilation). It ships two working Python auditors: a cross-reference checker for duplicate labels and undefined refs/cites, and a citation checker that verifies BibTeX entries against CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex to catch hallucinated references. Triggers for long-form academic reports (thesis, dissertation, FYP, 20+ page technical report), not short conference or workshop papers.

How to install Write Academic Report

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
