SKILLEMALL.ai

AC scholar-report

Generate AI-powered academic research reports via the Scholar API (scholar.x49.ai). Creates comprehensive literature review reports with inline citations, paper evidence, and downloadable Markdown. Use when the user wants a research report, literature review, academic survey, state-of-the-art summary, or systematic overview of a topic. Triggers when the user mentions generating a report, reviewing literature, surveying a field, summarizing research trends, or asks complex questions that benefit from a synthesized academic report.

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Broad scope medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.

For the author

Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Against the Agent Skills spec

    • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "effort"

    Process rating: all ten parameters 60/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 30Running it twice. 11 mutating operations with no state check
    • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (scholar-report) differs from the folder (scholar-report-x49)
    • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
    • 85Steps. 40 steps, 2 vague phrases
    • 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
    • 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2480 tokens

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

    Quality signals

    • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
    • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
    • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
    • +1No license
    • +2Single-language instructions
    • +3Description length 535: enough signal without eating the budget
    • +4Structure: 17 headings
    • +3Step-by-step instructions: 40 items
    • +4Has examples (9 code blocks)

    Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 83.

    ClawHub: suspicious
    This research-report skill does what it says, but it automatically sends queries to a third-party API and includes a shared built-in bearer token.
