What it tells the agent

The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

Questions

What does the Search skill do?

🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库,覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI 20分钟完成一篇可复现的规范实证论文,并支持用户上传 Skills。-- Maintained by CoPaper.AI from Stanford REAP.

Is Search safe to install?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 5 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What can Search access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

What do I need installed to use Search?

Its own instructions reference read. Dependencies are pinned to exact versions.

Which assistants does Search work with?

Its documentation mentions cursor and openclaw. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e1ba289846fd), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
