What is academic-paper-composer?

A writing workflow for turning a real software or computer-science project and an existing thesis draft into a final undergraduate thesis manuscript. It grounds the text in project evidence and applies the required school format.

Use it to rewrite thesis sections, assemble a final Word document, preserve or rebuild project diagrams, and include evidence such as screenshots. It is intended for software-engineering and computer-science undergraduate theses.

It helps prevent unsupported technical claims, lost figures, inconsistent database descriptions, and formatting problems in the final document. It also accounts for similarity or AI-generated-text reports when those are provided.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00139	$0.02707

Security

Grade A, and why

academic-paper-composer 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/chapter_quality_check.py, scripts/final_evaluation.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Academic Paper Composer

Overview

This is the writing and finalization skill for Codex-based undergraduate software engineering theses. It consumes the strategist's evidence-backed plan and turns it into a clean, submission-ready manuscript grounded in the real project.

Companion flow:

academic-paper-strategist - determine structure, evidence map, keep/rewrite/delete scope
academic-paper-composer - rewrite sections and assemble the final thesis text
drawio - rebuild engineering-style figures when needed
playwright - capture real runtime screenshots when the thesis needs running-system evidence
doc - apply Word formatting and visually verify the final DOCX

This skill is responsible for the thesis content and final assembly logic. It must not claim completion until the copied or user-designated working DOCX has been formatted and checked.

Required Inputs

the strategist's outline or rewrite brief
the existing thesis draft
the school format sample
the real project evidence files
detection reports when available (similarity / plagiarism / AIGC PDFs, screenshots, or extracted text)
the exact destination path for the copied final DOCX or the exact working draft path the user wants to continue editing
the exact destination path for the rework report, if provided

Non-Negotiable Rules

Operate on a copied draft only unless the user explicitly says the current hand-edited draft is now the working file.
Never overwrite the user's untouched original source draft.
Load and obey:
- references/zjkj-undergrad-thesis-format.md
- references/project-grounding-rules.md
- references/finalization-task-rules.md
Load references/detection-report-rewrite-playbook.md whenever the user asks to lower similarity or AIGC risk and provides reports.
Load references/docx-draft-salvage-and-runtime-screenshot-playbook.md whenever the task involves continuing from a hand-edited draft, partial section replacement, restoring original tables/figures, or adding real running-system screenshots.
Load references/thesis-revision-operation-checklist.md whenever the task involves editing a live working draft, because the edit order matters.
Rewrite unsupported text instead of polishing false content.
When lowering similarity or AIGC risk, rewrite the wording while preserving project truth; never game the score by inventing facts or deleting essential substance.
Keep all visible manuscript text black.
Remove hyperlink styling, process notes, instructional text, and template hints.
Use only project-supported figures and screenshots.
Prefer restoring a supported original figure/table over redrawing it.
Keep the testing chapter conservative and evidence-based.

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.

academic-paper-composer is a skill published in the GitHub repository AAASS554/codex-academic-paper-skills (532 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 139 tokens to every session and 2,707 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.
