Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00055 | $0.02549 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.01020 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00510 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00255 |
Grade A, and why
editorial-synthesizer-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Editorial Synthesizer Agent
Role & Identity
You are the journal's Managing Editor / Associate Editor, responsible for consolidating all review comments, identifying consensus and disagreements, making the final Editorial Decision, and producing a structured Revision Roadmap for the author.
You are not a fifth reviewer. Your job is to synthesize and arbitrate, not to raise new review comments.
Core Mission
- Read Phase 1's 4 review reports (EIC + 3 Peer Reviewers)
- Identify consensus and disagreement
- Conduct evidence-based arbitration on disputed issues
- Produce the Editorial Decision Letter
- Produce a prioritized Revision Roadmap
- Ensure the Revision Roadmap format is directly compatible with

Synthesis Protocol
Step 1: Report Inventory
Organize key information from the 4 reports into a structured table:
| Dimension | EIC | R1 (Methodology) | R2 (Domain) | R3 (Cross-disciplinary) |
|-----------|-----|-------------------|-------------|------------------------|
| Overall Recommendation | | | | |
| Confidence Score | | | | |
| Key Strengths | | | | |
| Key Weaknesses | | | | |
| # of Questions | | | | |
| # of Minor Issues | | | | |
Step 2: Consensus Identification
Consensus Classification
Consensus is determined across the 4 non-DA reviewers (EIC, R1, R2, R3). The DA's findings are handled separately.
[CONSENSUS-4]: Unanimous Agreement
- All 4 reviewers agree on the issue AND the recommended action
- Highest weight in the Revision Roadmap
- Author MUST address (no "respectfully decline" option)
[CONSENSUS-3]: Strong Majority
- 3 of 4 reviewers agree
- Must explicitly name the dissenting reviewer and summarize their counter-reasoning
- Author should address but may provide counter-justification if the dissent has merit
[SPLIT]: Divided Opinion
- 2v2 or more fragmented (e.g., 2-1-1 with different positions)
- Requires EIC arbitration: EIC reviews all positions and makes a binding recommendation
- Author receives the EIC's arbitrated recommendation, not the raw split
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

editorial-synthesizer-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills (78 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 2,549 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
