What this resource does

Core uses

This package combines a persistent agent runtime with bundled Skills

OpenSquilla is an agent package with a persistent workspace, tools, and on-demand Skills. This page highlights its bundled paper and research components rather than treating the whole runtime as one Skill.

The cards below show the bundled components that are most directly relevant to academic research and paper production.

01

Paper-related bundled Skills

Includes separate components for research, paper planning, abstracts, sections, references, and LaTeX compilation.

Typical inputs
Research topic or paper materials; Selected bundled Skill
Output
Component-dependent research notes or manuscript text.

Best for: Trying a paper-related workflow inside the OpenSquilla runtime.

Components for this task

deep-research

Runs a multi-round investigation with explicit planning, evidence tracking, persistent state, and citation-tagged synthesis.

Suggested requests (3)

Take a deep dive into [research topic] and produce a citation-tagged report.

Create a literature review on [research topic] using evidence from multiple sources.

Investigate [research question] across multiple sources and track the evidence over several rounds.

Adapted into complete requests from official trigger wording in src/opensquilla/skills/bundled/deep-research/SKILL.md frontmatter.

paper-preference-planner

Extracts paper-writing preferences and records conservative defaults before research and drafting begin.

paper-section-author

Writes one citation-grounded research-paper section as a bounded LaTeX fragment from a writing plan and citation plan.

latex-compile

Compiles an assembled LaTeX paper through xelatex and bibtex and reports the log tail; the source labels it demo-only.

02

Persistent agent workspace

Provides a local agent runtime with memory, provider configuration, channels, scheduling, and file tools.

Typical inputs
Configured model provider; Workspace task and local files
Output
Agent responses and files created by enabled tools or Skills.

Best for: Users who need a general persistent agent that can also load selected research Skills.

Component for this task

OpenSquilla runtime

Provides the persistent workspace, agent loop, tools, and on-demand Skill loading used by the bundled components.

Use boundaries

Limits and checks

Runtime permissions

Enabled capabilities may change local state or send data externally.

Review configuration, tools, and provider permissions before use.

Remote installer

Third-party code is installed and executed locally.

Inspect release files and use the documented source route when greater control is needed.

Academic subset

Runtime-wide claims may overstate academic coverage.

Evaluate the named bundled Skill separately.

More boundaries
  • The runtime is not a dedicated academic method or evidence-synthesis system.
  • Paper components cannot access private sources or services without legitimate user configuration.
  • Generated research text and references require checking against original evidence.
