The Agent Skills Directory

[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill includes a Makefile for NeurIPS 2025 that uses curl to download style files directly from the official conference domain (media.neurips.cc). This is a legitimate utility for maintaining up-to-date templates.
[DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill uses Python snippets to interact with well-known academic APIs, including Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and arXiv. These operations are restricted to citation metadata retrieval and are integral to the skill's primary purpose of academic verification.
[REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill recommends the use of 'Exa MCP' for real-time academic search. The installation instructions provided for Claude Code and VS Code point to the official exa.ai domain and use standard MCP tool configuration patterns.
[COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The instructions include routine shell commands (e.g., ls, find, grep, cp) and LaTeX compilation commands (pdflatex, bibtex, latexmk). These are standard for exploring research repositories and building documents.
[NO_CODE]: The skill primarily consists of configuration files, LaTeX templates, and documentation. The executable snippets provided are for instructional purposes or environment setup (e.g., pip install semanticscholar).
