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 | $0.00064 | $0.00580 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00232 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00116 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00058 |
Grade A, and why
mineru 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 22d 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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
MinerU
Use MinerU to turn PDFs, Office files, images, and HTML into Markdown and structured outputs for downstream research workflows.
Choose API Mode
- Prefer standard mode for scientific papers and reproducible project work. It requires
MINERU_API_KEY, supports files up to 200 MB / 200 pages, batch upload,pipeline/vlm/MinerU-HTML, tables, formulas, and zip outputs. - Use agent mode for quick, small, non-sensitive parsing. It needs no token, is IP-rate-limited, supports a single file or URL, returns Markdown only, and is intended for lightweight agent workflows.
Do not store API keys in skill files, source code, logs, or committed .env files. Read standard API credentials from MINERU_API_KEY.
Quick Commands
Use the bundled CLI:
python .codex/skills/mineru/scripts/mineru_parse.py standard-file path/to/paper.pdf --output-dir outputs/results/mineru/paper --model-version vlm --extra-format html
python .codex/skills/mineru/scripts/mineru_parse.py standard-url https://example.com/paper.pdf --output-dir outputs/results/mineru/paper --model-version vlm
python .codex/skills/mineru/scripts/mineru_parse.py agent-file path/to/small.pdf --output-dir /tmp/mineru-small
python .codex/skills/mineru/scripts/mineru_parse.py agent-url https://example.com/small.pdf --output-dir /tmp/mineru-small
For local files in standard mode, the CLI requests a signed upload URL, uploads the file, polls the batch result, downloads the result zip, and extracts it.
For standard URL mode, the CLI submits the URL task, polls it, downloads the result zip, and extracts it.
For agent mode, the CLI downloads the returned Markdown file.
Recommended Defaults
- Use
--model-version vlmfor scientific papers with formulas, tables, and figures. - Use
--model-version MinerU-HTMLonly for HTML source files. - Use
--pagesto limit expensive or slow parses during tests. - Keep raw PDFs and downloaded zips in ignored local folders; commit only extracted, reviewed Markdown/metadata when appropriate.
What ships with it
3 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.
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.

mineru is a skill published in the GitHub repository AGI4Sci/SciForge (83 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 580 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-02.
