ai-asset-pricing: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/build-context/SKILL.md

build-context is a skill for Claude Code from Alexander-M-Dickerson/ai-asset-pricing. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,528 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A context-builder that reads a paper's LaTeX, Markdown, or PDF files and creates a guidance file summarizing the paper's important facts, terms, structure, and claims. LaTeX is a text-based format commonly used to write academic papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a main.tex file, research notes, or a draft PDF before asking the agent to write, edit, or audit the paper.
Why use it?
It gives later writing and review tools a reliable reference for the paper, reducing the risk of changing numbers, terminology, or the author's intended argument.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-context 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.

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 — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build Context Skill

Generate a structured guidance/paper-context.md file that captures everything Claude needs to know about a paper before writing, editing, or auditing it. This file is consumed by /audit-section, /check-consistency, /edit-section, /full-paper-audit, /audit-captions, and other writing skills.

Examples

  • /build-context main.tex -- build context from the paper's LaTeX source
  • /build-context draft.pdf -- build context from a PDF of the paper
  • /build-context notes.md main.tex -- combine author notes with LaTeX source
  • /build-context related_paper.pdf -- extract context from a related paper for reference
  • /build-context -- scan for main.tex or .pdf files in the current project and ask which to use

Input

One or more file paths. Supported formats:

  • .tex -- LaTeX source (richest; extracts section structure, labels, equations, citations)
  • .pdf -- PDF file (read with the Read tool; extracts prose content and structure)
  • .md -- Markdown notes (author's own description of the paper, key results, terminology)

If no arguments are provided, scan the current project directory for main.tex or *.pdf files and prompt the user to select.

Workflow

Step 1: Read Source Files

  1. Read each provided file
  2. For .tex: extract the full document
  3. For .pdf: read the PDF (use pages parameter for large files; start with first 10 pages, then continue if needed)
  4. For .md: read as-is (these are usually the author's own notes)

Step 2: Extract Paper Identity

From the source material, identify:

  • Title: from \title{} or document header
  • Authors: from \author{} or byline
  • Abstract: from \begin{abstract} or first section
  • Core contribution: 1-3 sentences summarizing what the paper does that is new

Step 3: Extract Key Results

Identify the paper's main quantitative and qualitative findings:

  • Primary results: the headline findings (with specific numbers if available)
  • Secondary results: supporting findings
  • Robustness: what robustness checks are performed
  • Null results: any important non-findings

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.
