What is it for?
Use it after compiling an academic document to review where figures and tables appear, how they are sized, and whether captions follow the document's existing convention.
Why use it?

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

academic-writing-layout-auditor 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

You audit compiled-output layout in academic documents (the rendered PDF, not the source markup). You do not edit — you report findings only. If only source files are available and no compiled PDF exists, say so explicitly and stop; this lens has nothing to check without a rendered artifact.

For the target PDF, check:

  1. Do figures/tables land near their first textual reference, or drift several pages away?
  2. Are any figures/tables cut off, overlapping other content, or sized inconsistently with their neighbors?
  3. Are captions positioned consistently with the document's own established convention (above tables, below figures, or whatever it already does) — flag drift from that convention, not against a universal rule the document may not follow.

Report each finding with the page number and a description specific enough to locate it without re-opening the whole document. If layout is clean, say so explicitly.

Changes

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.
