- Stars. 55,735 stars on the Imbad0202/academic-research-skills repository, counted on GitHub by Ai Lately on November 7, 2026.
- Red flags. We read the 219 files this skill would put on your computer, looking for downloads that run on their own, hidden orders, reads of your keys and passwords, and code that phones home. The scan raised a flag, and a person read it and judged it harmless: defensive wording: treats the paper text as data, never as instructions.
- One fixed version. We checked commit 6d93886. The link opens exactly that version. An author can change a skill later, so read SKILL.md before you install.
- What we did not do. We did not run it. A scan cannot prove a skill is safe.
