ai-asset-pricing: Skill for Claude Code

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

build-paper is a skill for Claude Code from Alexander-M-Dickerson/ai-asset-pricing. It costs 17 tokens per session (435 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A build tool for turning LaTeX paper source into a PDF. It can run the usual LaTeX and BibTeX passes needed to update citations and references.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compile the full paper, make a faster single-pass build, or build a specified .tex file.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember the correct compilation order and reports errors and warnings from the build.

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-paper 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.

What it actually says

Build Paper Skill

Compile the paper from LaTeX source to PDF.

Examples

  • /build-paper -- full compile cycle for main.tex
  • /build-paper --quick -- single pdflatex pass (faster, no bibliography update)
  • /build-paper path/to/file.tex -- compile a specific file

Workflow

Full Build (default)

  1. Run pdflatex (first pass)
  2. Run bibtex
  3. Run pdflatex (second pass -- resolve references)
  4. Run pdflatex (third pass -- finalize)
  5. Check for errors/warnings
  6. Report result

Quick Build (--quick)

  1. Run single pdflatex pass
  2. Report result

Commands

Use the pdflatex and bibtex paths from canonical local state reported by tools/bootstrap.py audit (or a repo-root CLAUDE.local.md compatibility shim if present). The general pattern:

Full build:

cd {latex_dir} && pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode {file} && bibtex {stem} && pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode {file} && pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode {file}

Quick build:

cd {latex_dir} && pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode {file}

IMPORTANT: Always cd to the directory containing the .tex file before compiling.

Output

BUILD REPORT
============

Status: SUCCESS / FAILED
Warnings: N
Errors: N

[list of warnings if any]
[list of errors if any]

Output: {latex_dir}/{stem}.pdf

Common Issues

  • Undefined references: Run full build (not quick)
  • Missing citations: Check the .bib file has the key
  • Package errors: Check \usepackage declarations
  • Font warnings: Usually harmless (font substitution)
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.
