paper-author-pass
Final "author pass" for an AI-assisted ML research paper — refine from high level (story, research taste, scale vs. claims, pivots) through argument structure and verification down to sentence-level sloppy-AI traces (em-dash floods, "not X but Y", defensive writing, coined terms, performative honesty), so a responsible human author is visibly present. Use when polishing, de-slopping, or revising a paper draft before submission together with its human author. If asked to make AI text "read human" or pass review or detectors without a human author, it runs audit-only and returns questions for th
Why this score
This repo hosts 2 skills, so its 154 stars are split between them (about 77 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 66/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit fc119a05d00a, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
What its code does:
- Reads environment variables and sends network requests with them API clients do this to send your key to the service. Check which service it talks to.scripts/ref_verify.py and 2 more
- Makes network requestsSKILL.md, scripts/ref_verify.py:348
Web addresses in its code:
- api.crossref.orgscripts/ref_verify.py:441
- export.arxiv.orgscripts/ref_verify.py:433
- api.openalex.orgscripts/ref_verify.py:455
- api.semanticscholar.orgscripts/ref_verify.py:450
- dblp.orgscripts/ref_verify.py:465
These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
