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

writing 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 8d 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.

Academic Writing

Overview

Scientific manuscript writing across all formats, fields, and journals.

Manuscript Structure (IMRAD)

Abstract (150-300 words)

  • Background: 1-2 sentences establishing context
  • Objective: 1 sentence stating the research question
  • Methods: 2-3 sentences on approach (design, subjects, analyses)
  • Results: 2-3 sentences on key findings (with numbers)
  • Conclusion: 1-2 sentences on significance and implications

Introduction (funnel structure)

  1. Broad context (what is known)
  2. Narrowing focus (what is specifically relevant)
  3. Knowledge gap (what is NOT known)
  4. Study rationale (why THIS study)
  5. Objectives/hypothesis (what we aimed to do)

Methods (reproducibility is key)

  • Study design and setting
  • Participants/samples (inclusion/exclusion criteria)
  • Variables and measurements
  • Statistical analysis plan (pre-specified)
  • Ethics approval and consent

Results (data-driven narrative)

  • Present results in the order of objectives
  • Reference every figure and table
  • Report exact statistics (test, df, p, effect size, CI)
  • Do NOT interpret results here

Discussion

  1. Summary of main findings (1 paragraph)
  2. Comparison with existing literature
  3. Possible mechanisms/explanations
  4. Strengths of the study
  5. Limitations (be honest and specific)
  6. Future directions
  7. Conclusion (clinical/scientific significance)

Citation Formatting

Support 100+ citation styles via CSL. Common:

  • APA 7th: (Author, Year) / Author (Year)
  • Vancouver: [1], [2] — numbered order of appearance
  • Nature: superscript 1,2
  • Cell: (Author et al., Year)

Writing Tone by Journal Tier

  • Nature/Science: Concise, high-impact. Every sentence earns its place.
  • Cell: Comprehensive, mechanistic depth. Detailed Methods.
  • Lancet/NEJM: Clinical focus, patient implications. Accessible language.
  • PNAS/eLife: Balanced depth. Cross-disciplinary appeal.
  • PLoS ONE: Methodological rigor over novelty.

Bilingual Support

  • English: standard academic conventions
  • Chinese: different paragraph logic, more contextual setup, appropriate deference patterns

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.

writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository AndyZhuang/Opentest (22 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 496 tokens. 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 2026-09-03.
