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.

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 | $0.00035 | $0.00717 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00358 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00143 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
paper-trail-new-paper 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 10d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/paper-trail:new-paper — Start writing an academic paper
Invoke the paper-writer skill to start drafting an academic paper.
Usage
/paper-trail:new-paper <topic>
/paper-trail:new-paper <topic> --venue ISMIR|SMC|NeurIPS|ACL|...
/paper-trail:new-paper <topic> --based-on <SOTA1>,<SOTA2>,...
What it does
- Identifies SOTAs in the vault relevant to the topic (via the adapter)
- Verifies the SOTAs are audited (
/paper-trail:audit-sotaunderneath) - Sets up the paper structure (IMRaD by default, venue-specific
conventions if
--venueis set) - Drafts each section :
- Methods & Results : skeleton with TODOs for user content
- Related Work : draws from audited SOTAs, citing
sota_cited_confirmedrefs only
- Updates
cited_in[]of each cited ref's frontmatter - Pre-submission : prompts user to run
/paper-trail:audit-article
Safeguards
- PreToolUse hook (
tools/precheck_sota_wikilinks.py) blocks the write if any cited wikilink points to a non-validated ref - Citation-receipts mandatory before considering the paper ready for submission
- No inventing references : only consumes from the audited registry
Examples
Standard usage
/paper-trail:new-paper "Petri nets for music notation"
Skill identifies relevant SOTAs (e.g., SOTA_Music_Notation_Formal,
SOTA_Petri_Nets_in_Arts), proposes draft outline.
Venue-specific
/paper-trail:new-paper "Polyrhythm quantification" --venue ISMIR
6-page IMRaD structure matching ISMIR LaTeX template.
Based on specific SOTAs
/paper-trail:new-paper "Generation-recognition asymmetry" \
--based-on SOTA_Asymmetry_Languages,SOTA_Formal_Grammars
Restricts the Related Work section to these specific SOTAs.
Output
- Draft paper file at the location appropriate for the venue
(e.g.,
40_OUTPUT/Papers/<topic>/<paper>.texfor LaTeX, or Markdown if Markdown-based workflow) .bibfile generated from the cited refs- A TODO list of sections needing user content (Methods, Results)
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.

paper-trail-new-paper is a command published in the GitHub repository roomi-fields/paper-trail (5 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 717 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
Other commands, from other repositories
lit-landscape
Generate figures visualizing literature trends, citation patterns, and research gaps.
verify-citations
Verify all citations against bibliography.
lit-review
A command for carrying out a systematic literature review, meaning a structured search and summary of research papers on a chosen topic. It also builds a citation graph showing connections between papers.
proof-readability
Improve the exposition and readability of a mathematical proof already verified as correct without changing its mathematics. Use when polishing a lemma, theorem, proof, or appendix after correctness checks. Not for verifying the proof; use $verify-math.
causal-design
Design or audit the identification strategy for an observational study. Use when the task concerns estimands, causal assumptions, threats to identification, or defensible research design rather than model implementation.
cite-check
Verify that citations actually exist and that the claims they support are faithful to the cited source. Runs deterministic existence checks (Crossref / OpenAlex / Semantic Scholar / arXiv) plus a claim-faithfulness pass via the alterlab-citation-verifier skill.
