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 | $0.01510 | $0.01510 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00755 | $0.00755 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00302 | $0.00302 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00151 | $0.00151 |
Grade A, and why
corbis-literature-starter-kit CLAUDE.md 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 9d 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
97% identical to corbis-literature-starter-kit AGENTS.md — 4 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Corbis Literature Starter Kit
A lightweight toolkit for exploring academic literature, brainstorming research ideas, and managing citations. Powered by Corbis MCP for literature search across 400,000+ academic papers.
Skill routing
Before responding to any research-related prompt, check whether a skill applies.
| User is asking about... | Use skill |
|---|---|
| Survey a topic, write a literature review | literature-review |
| Position a paper, find closest work, contribution | literature-positioning-map |
| Brainstorm research ideas from a topic area | research-idea-generator |
| Screen or score a specific research idea | finance-idea-screening |
| Verify citations in a .bib file | verify-citations |
| Visualize literature trends, gaps, methods | literature-landscape |
Corbis tool usage
Always search before asserting. Do not guess about novelty, literature, or data availability when you can check.
Available tools:
search_papers,get_paper_details,get_paper_details_batch,top_cited_articles-- literature searchexport_citations,format_citation-- citation managementsearch_datasets-- data discovery (for idea screening)fred_search,fred_series_batch-- macro data contextget_market_data,compare_markets,search_markets,get_market_trends-- CRE market intelligence
Key principles:
- Use
search_papersbefore claiming any idea is novel - Use
compact: trueonsearch_paperswhen you only need titles and metadata (saves ~80% payload) - Use
sortBy: "citedByCount"to find the most influential papers on a topic - Use
get_paper_details_batch(up to 25 IDs) instead of repeatedget_paper_detailscalls - Use
top_cited_articleswith thequeryparameter to find highly cited papers on a specific topic within journals - Use
export_citations(format:bibtex) to generate bibliography entries
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.
