help

help is a command for coding agents from Abhinavbwj/AEC-Scholar. It costs 13 tokens per session (804 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that displays the welcome banner and command menu for AEC Scholar, a toolkit for academic research in architecture, engineering, and construction. It can also suggest relevant commands when given a topic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Opening the AEC Scholar menu, finding commands for research tasks, and choosing a relevant command for a supplied topic.
Why use it?
It helps users see what the toolkit can do before starting a research task. It reduces the need to remember the available commands.

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.

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

help 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.

What it actually says

Display the AEC Scholar welcome to the user. Print the banner below inside a fenced code block exactly as written (preserve the ASCII art), then show the categorized command menu, then offer to begin.

If the user passed an argument ($ARGUMENTS), after showing the menu, suggest the 2–3 most relevant commands for that topic and offer to start one immediately.

Also mention:

  • Subagents (Claude delegates automatically): literature-reviewer, aec-domain-expert, methodologist, academic-writer, peer-reviewer, data-analyst, citation-manager, research-strategist, grant-writer, figure-designer.
  • Output style: run /output-style aec-academic for a scholarly working voice.
  • Integrity: AEC Scholar never fabricates citations, DOIs, data or metrics — it flags what you must verify.

Close by inviting the user to name a topic or pick a command (e.g. /aec-scholar:lit-review digital twins for bridge maintenance).

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.
