Academic report formatting
A Codex and Claude skill that formats lab reports, coursework and explanatory notes per a guideline or GOST, without inventing the author's data
Low risk
We rate an entry low when it mostly gives the agent instructions and reference material.
Why this level
- It only formats text and document structure; it does not publish or send anything
Install
In your terminal, with SkillFoxx CLI
npx skillfoxx add skills/academic-report-formattingDetects the agents on your machine, checks the risk and pins the version.

Other ways from the author
git clone https://github.com/mikhail0vvlad/gost-agent-skill.git "$CODEX_HOME/skills/academic-report-formatting"Command from the README for Windows PowerShell; on Linux and macOS use the same path in POSIX notation.

What it does
The skill helps prepare checkable academic reports: it first figures out what governs the work's format (an instructor's guideline, a template, a sample, or requirements in the assignment) rather than general assumptions about GOST. It then builds the structure only from the needed sections, separates the author's confirmed data from spots that need the author's own material, and never fills missing results with plausible-sounding text. It checks numbering of sections, figures, tables and source references, and when working with a finished .docx it asks for a visual check of the result rather than trusting automation alone.
Who it is for. For students preparing lab, practical and coursework reports and explanatory notes against a specific guideline or GOST.
Good fit when
- You need to format a lab or practical report against an instructor's guideline
- You need to check a finished .docx against GOST requirements
- You have real experiment data that must be kept, not rewritten
Not a fit when
- You need an ordinary business report or a short chat summary: the skill is not meant for that
- You have neither a guideline nor the author's data and want fully invented text
Example request
Format this lab report per the attached guideline, here are my real measurement resultsLimitations
The skill deliberately refuses to invent experiment results, sources or title-page data, so without a guideline and the author's own material it can do little. Checking a .docx requires a separate document-handling skill and a manual visual check of the result. The repo is published by a MIREA lab student, with no tests or formal support beyond the README and SKILL.md.
How to disable. Delete the academic-report-formatting folder from your CODEX_HOME/skills directory.
Security check
- It only formats text and document structure; it does not publish or send anything
README in short
The Russian README explains the skill's purpose: keep the student's real data and never substitute invented content, describes what it does (structure, numbering, source references, .docx checks), gives two Codex install methods via git clone or manual copying into the skills folder, and shows the repo's three-file layout.
SKILL.md
--- name: academic-report-formatting description: Create, structure, or format academic reports, laboratory and practical-work reports, course papers, and explanatory notes. Use when the user asks to make or format a report, especially in Word, under GOST, or according to a university guideline; do not use for ordinary business reports or short chat summaries. --- # Учебные отчеты Создавай проверяемый учебный отчет, а не только красиво оформленный текст. Сохраняй фактическую часть пользователя: не выдумывай результаты экспериментов, источники, измерения, скриншоты или данные для титульного листа. ## Сначала установи требования - Приложенная методичка, шаблон, образец преподавателя или требования в сообщении пользователя — главный источник оформления. Не подменяй их общими представлениями о ГОСТе. - Если требований нет, уточни только недостающие для результата сведения: вид работы, дисциплину/тему, требуемый формат файла, существующий текст или материалы и необходимость титульного листа.
FAQ
Will the skill invent experiment results if they are missing?
No, it flags those spots as needing the author's own data instead of filling them with plausible text.
Does it work with any agent?
The README and agents/openai.yaml target Codex, but the SKILL.md format is also compatible with Claude Code.
