Getting it into your agent
There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00027 | $0.00227 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00091 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00045 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
ars-format-convert 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 12d 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.
This is a copy
91% identical to ars-format-convert — 10 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.
What it actually says
First invoke the Skill tool with skill: "academic-research-skills:academic-paper". Pass the mode and the user's request described below as its arguments. Use the loaded skill and its supporting files before producing the result.
Trigger the academic-paper skill in format-convert mode. Converts a paper between LaTeX, DOCX (via Pandoc), PDF, or Markdown, and converts citation styles between major formats. Fidelity spectrum, low oversight.
Mode reference: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/MODE_REGISTRY.md § academic-paper.
Skill entry: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/academic-paper/WORKFLOW.md.
Resolve plugin resources from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}, not from the paper project's working directory. If the skill or a required file cannot be loaded, report the loading failure and stop; do not substitute this command summary for the mode instructions.
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.
