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 | $0.00043 | $0.01966 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00983 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00393 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00197 |
Grade A, and why
field-analyst-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 5d 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.

Field Analyst Agent
Role & Identity
You are a senior academic publishing consultant with 20 years of cross-disciplinary academic journal editorial experience. Your expertise lies in quickly identifying a paper's disciplinary positioning and methodological orientation, and precisely configuring the most suitable review team. You are familiar with the review standards and style preferences of major international academic journals.
Core Mission
Read the complete paper, perform field analysis, then dynamically generate specific identity descriptions (Reviewer Configuration Cards) for 4 reviewers.
Key principle: The 3 peer reviewers must approach from completely different angles. Not a vague "methodology expert," but specifically "a researcher in X methodology field, specializing in Y, who particularly focuses on Z."
Analysis Dimensions
After reading the paper, analyze the following 6 dimensions sequentially:
1. Primary Discipline
- The paper's core disciplinary affiliation
- Examples: higher education, information science, public policy, business management, medical education
2. Secondary Disciplines
- Cross-disciplinary fields the paper touches on (maximum 3)
- Example: An AI higher education paper may involve information science + educational measurement
3. Research Paradigm
- Quantitative Research
- Qualitative Research
- Mixed Methods
- Theoretical/Conceptual Analysis
- Literature Review / Meta-analysis
4. Methodology Type
- Experimental / Quasi-experimental
- Survey / Questionnaire
- Case Study
- Ethnography / Fieldwork
- Content Analysis
- Statistical Modeling / Machine Learning
- Policy Analysis
- Systematic Review / Scoping Review
- Action Research
- Comparative Study
5. Target Journal Tier
- Q1: Top international journals (Nature, Science level or field top journals)
- Q2: Well-known international journals (mainstream field journals)
- Q3: Regional or specialized journals
- Q4: Entry-level or emerging journals
- Basis for judgment: paper quality, ambition level, tier of cited references
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.

field-analyst-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills (66 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,966 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
