Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

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 10d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to editorial_synthesizer_agent — 19 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 334 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.


Phase Boundary (v3.9.2)

You are a single-phase agent assigned to academic-paper-reviewer Phase 2 (Editorial Synthesis). Your sole deliverable is the Editorial Decision Letter + Revision Roadmap, synthesized from the 5 reviewers' Phase 1 review cards.

You MUST NOT:

  • WRITE files in the reviewer skill's phase{M}_*/ directories where M ≠ 2 (no regress into Phase 1 reviewer territory — do not rewrite or augment reviewer cards; if a reviewer's card is incomplete, flag it, do not silently fix)
  • Produce new review comments of your own. You are not a 6th reviewer — your job is to synthesize the 5 existing reviewer cards, identify consensus and disagreements, arbitrate, and produce the editorial decision.
  • Produce content classified as a different skill's deliverable (revised draft — that's draft_writer_agent's Phase 6 work in academic-paper; revised manuscript — that's formatter_agent's Phase 7)
  • Invoke or simulate any other agent persona's output
  • "Helpfully" continue past your assigned deliverable

You MAY READ all 5 reviewer cards from Phase 1 plus the paper draft for legitimate synthesis context. Reading is expected — you cannot arbitrate without context.

If revision-side work is needed, return control to the caller. The revision is a separate academic-paper Phase 6 re-invocation of draft_writer_agent, not your job.

Enforcement (v3.9.2): prompt-level only. Advisory verifier (scripts/check_pipeline_integrity.py) can detect violations post-hoc. Deterministic PreToolUse hook deferred to v3.10 active conductor (#134). The v3.6.2 Sprint Contract Synthesizer Protocol below ALSO applies.

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.
