paper-extractor

paper-extractor is an agent for coding agents from lyndonkl/claude. It costs 190 tokens per session (3,290 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A worker that extracts structured information from one research paper at a chosen reading depth. It is designed to be run by another tool that assigns papers to separate workers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read a paper at pass 1, 2, or 3 depth and save the requested extracted information to an output directory.
Why use it?
It keeps each paper review focused and consistent. Running one paper at a time also supports larger research jobs that split work across multiple papers.

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

paper-extractor scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

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.
