01What can it help you accomplish?

  • Revise an academic manuscript against supplied experiment records and references

    Traceable suggestions, the exact edits as a diff, a revised manuscript, and a checks report — written to a run directory

    Researchers and students who want an agent-assisted revision trail instead of untraceable rewriting

  • Prepare a rebuttal or a presentation storyboard from the same evidence base

    The same three-skill bundle applied to rebuttal preparation and presentation storyboarding

    Authors replying to reviewers or turning a paper into slides

02How to install into DeepSeek Harness

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+ and Node.js for the skills-CLI installation path
  • For the plugin path: DSH 0.2.1 or newer — the bundle needs no build step

Installation steps

  1. 01

    Plugin path: `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-paper-agent-skills`

    $ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-paper-agent-skills

  2. 02

    Skills path: `npx skills add Scodive/Paper-Agent-Skills --agent universal --skill '*' --copy --yes` into the shared agent directory DSH can discover

    $ npx skills add Scodive/Paper-Agent-Skills --agent universal --skill '*' --copy --yes

  3. 03

    Then create the virtualenv and install the script requirements: `python3 -m venv .paper-agent-venv` and `.paper-agent-venv/bin/python -m pip install -r .agents/skills/academic-paper-writing/scripts/requirements.txt`

Verify the integration

  • Open an agent session and ask it to revise a manuscript against your records; read the run output in `runs/review-01/results/`
  • The README reports live DSH skill loading 3/3 on DSH 0.2.2-rc.1

03DSH integration and capability boundaries

DSH integrationNative runtime

DSH plugin bundle (`dsh-paper-agent-skills`) registering the three skills as a bundled skill provider, or the same skills installed into the shared agent directory with the skills CLI

  • Academic paper revision

    Markdown, single-file TeX or text-based PDF; experiment records in JSON/CSV; references in BibTeX/JSON→suggestions.md, revised.md / revised.tex, changes.diff and checks.md in a run directory

    the host agent performs the review; the bundled Python tools only package evidence and validate edits
  • Evidence packaging and edit validation

    supplied experiment records and references→packaged evidence plus mechanical validation of the edits

    requires no model API key
  • Rebuttal preparation and presentation storyboarding

    the same paper and evidence base→rebuttal drafts and slide storyboards from the same skill bundle

04Who is it for? When not to use it?

Good for

  • Researchers and students who want an agent-assisted revision trail instead of untraceable rewriting
  • Authors replying to reviewers or turning a paper into slides

Not for

  • The published validation results do not establish writing-quality gains, scientific correctness or acceptance-rate improvements.
  • Experimental records are not reproduced, references are not independently verified, and PDF layout is not preserved by the tools; collected papers keep their own licenses.

05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes

  • The published validation results do not establish writing-quality gains, scientific correctness or acceptance-rate improvements.
  • Experimental records are not reproduced, references are not independently verified, and PDF layout is not preserved by the tools; collected papers keep their own licenses.
  • The skills-CLI path needs Python 3.10+ and Node.js; the DSH plugin path needs DSH 0.2.1 or newer and no build step.
  • The bundled Python tools require no model API key, but the host agent performing the review still needs a working model in DSH.

06Frequently asked questions

How do I install it as a DSH plugin?

Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-paper-agent-skills`. The bundle registers the three skills as a bundled skill provider in the model's skill catalog, requires DSH 0.2.1 or newer and needs no build step.

What is the alternative installation path?

The same three skills install through the skills CLI into the shared agent directory DSH can discover: `npx skills add Scodive/Paper-Agent-Skills --agent universal --skill '*' --copy --yes`, then create `.paper-agent-venv` and install the script requirements. That path needs Python 3.10+ and Node.js.

Do the tools call a model?

No — the bundled Python tools require no model API key. The host agent performs the review; the tools package the evidence and validate the edits mechanically.

What does a run produce?

A run directory such as `runs/review-01/results/` with `suggestions.md` (recommendations and unresolved items), `revised.md` or `revised.tex`, `changes.diff` (the exact edits) and `checks.md` (mechanical checks and evidence limitations).

Do the validation results prove better papers?

No. The README states plainly that the observed results do not establish writing-quality gains, scientific correctness or acceptance-rate improvements, and that references are not independently verified and PDF layout is not preserved.
