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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00073 $0.00700
Opus 5.5 $0.00029 $0.00280
Sonnet 5.5 $0.00015 $0.00140

Security

Grade A, and why

paper-reading 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/bridge.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.

What it actually says

论文协作阅读

原则

  • 只定义方法、结构、组件契约和执行边界，不定义某篇论文、模型、系统、指标或实验内容。
  • 具体内容必须来自当次论文材料、repo、用户补充或当前 HTML。
  • ~/.codex/skills/paper-reading 是 ~/.claude/skills/paper-reading 的软链；改这里即同步两边。

组件

paper-reading/
├── docs/01-paper-prompt.md     论文解读方法
├── docs/02-html-contract.md    HTML 协作契约
├── docs/03-layout-standard.md  页面版式标准
└── scripts/bridge.py           本地标记写回脚本

来源与协议

  • 官方来源：https://github.com/Agentchengfeng/paper-reading-skills
  • 作者：成峰 / AI产品自由
  • 协议：Apache-2.0；复制、改造或二次发布时保留 LICENSE 和 NOTICE.md。

资源路由

  • 从论文或 repo 生成/重写正文：读 docs/01-paper-prompt.md。
  • 创建、修复或优化论文 HTML：读 docs/03-layout-standard.md，再读 docs/02-html-contract.md。
  • 处理划线标记、补充解释、作图或正文重组：读 docs/02-html-contract.md。
  • 启动本地标记写回：运行 scripts/bridge.py，不要重写 bridge 逻辑。

硬规则

  • 解读开头先写研究目的，再写核心结论。
  • 页面左侧使用内容阅读地图，不做机械章节目录。
  • 稍微复杂的内容默认用 SVG 图解：机制链、流程、对照、公式关系、调度逻辑、瓶颈链和概念间依赖，不能只靠长段文字解释。
  • 划线协作只保留三类动作：名词讲解、逻辑梳理、作图理解。
  • 用户说 重组、整合、合并到正文、改成新段落 时，把批注内容融入正文，删除对应疑问卡片和解释块；有用 SVG 保留为普通正文图。
  • 本地 HTML 的刷新、DOM 检查和交互验证默认使用 Codex 内置浏览器；验证 URL 使用 localhost，不用 file:// 代替。

边界

  • HTML 不放 API key，不直接调用模型。
  • Bridge 只接收标记、写 JSONL、改 HTML；不生成解释。
  • 不新增 README、examples、templates、runtime 解释层或未验证示例。
Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
