What is academic-shcolar-skills?

Academic Scholar Skills is a suite of AI agent workflows for the full research-to-paper process. It is designed to run inside AI coding assistants: Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. Once installed, you invoke it through slash commands like /ars-plan or $academic-research-suite to move through stages of a research project, from finding literature to writing, revising, and formatting a paper. The suite is organized into four modules. The Deep Research module uses a 13-agent team to conduct literature reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. It includes guided Socratic dialogue, support for the PRISMA systematic review standard, and verification against the Semantic Scholar API. The Academic Paper module uses 12 agents to handle writing tasks: outlining, drafting, abstract writing, citation formatting, figure verification, disclosure statements, and revision coaching. The Academic Paper Reviewer module simulates peer review with 7 agents, including an editor-in-chief role and three dynamic reviewers, scoring submissions on a 0 to 100 rubric and producing a revision and resubmission traceability matrix. The Academic Pipeline module ties all of these together into a 10-stage orchestrator with checkpoints, claim verification, and a "Material Passport" that carries structured metadata about data access levels and reproducibility claims between stages. Installation in Claude Code is done through a plugin marketplace command. For Codex, a shell script installs a router skill that maps plain aliases like ars-plan and ars-lit-review to the suite. For OpenCode, you clone the repository and start the tool from that directory, it reads a configuration file that sets the default agent. This repository is described as a cleaned redistribution mirror of an upstream project. It removes binary showcase PDFs, GitHub Actions, and sponsorship metadata.
