plain-summary

plain-summary is a command for Claude Code from Abhinavbwj/AEC-Scholar. It costs 15 tokens per session (343 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A service for writing a plain-language summary or impact statement of research in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). It adapts the explanation for the public, policymakers, industry, or funders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write a 100–250-word summary, a one-sentence version, or three key messages about an AEC study, including its problem, methods, findings, and implications.
Why use it?
It translates specialist terms and research findings into everyday language without overstating what the study shows. It helps explain why the work matters to a particular audience.

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

plain-summary 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 7d 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

Write a plain-language summary of: $ARGUMENTS

Use the academic-writer agent and academic-writing.

  1. Identify the audience (--audience, default: general public). Calibrate vocabulary and emphasis:

    • Public — why it matters in everyday terms, no jargon.
    • Policy — implications for regulation, standards, decarbonization/safety/housing targets.
    • Industry — practical application, adoption, ROI/benefit on real projects.
    • Funder — significance, novelty and impact pathways.
  2. Write the summary (typically 100–250 words; honor any limit the user gives):

    • Open with the real-world problem and why it matters.
    • Explain what the research did and found, without jargon or acronyms (translate "embodied carbon", "digital twin", "BIM" into plain terms; define if unavoidable).
    • End with the implication / "so what" for that audience.
    • Use concrete, honest framing — accurate to the actual findings, no hype or over-generalization.
  3. Offer variants — a one-sentence version (for a tweet/abstract highlight), and a 3-bullet "key messages" version.

Keep it truthful: a lay summary simplifies, it does not exaggerate. Don't claim impact the study doesn't support.

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.
