Does it protect single uppercase letters?

By default, single uppercase letters at word boundaries are ignored to allow normal sentence capitalization while protecting 2+ letter acronyms.

Is there a way to undo the brace protection?

Yes, the skill includes a dedicated unprotect script that removes the curly braces from previously protected text.

Why does BibTeX lowercase my titles?

BibTeX's default styles often lowercase titles to ensure consistency across different citation styles; wrapping text in braces `{}` is the standard way to prevent this.

Does this work for chemical formulas?

Absolutely. You can use the custom pattern or acronym mode to wrap formulas like H2O or NaCl so they are rendered correctly in your document.

Can I protect specific patterns or words?

Yes, the skill supports a custom regex pattern mode that allows you to match and protect any specific character sequence you define.
