Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 396 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
- low Privilege Escalation · line 388 Skill requests more permissions than appear necessary for its stated functionality. Review if elevated access is justified.Fix: Request only the minimum permissions required. Document why each permission is needed. Remove broad permissions like '*' or 'all'.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00045 | $0.03530 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01765 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00706 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00353 |
Grade A, and why
add-journal 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 11d 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 — 398 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Add Journal Skill
You are helping a medical researcher add a new journal to the MedSci Skills profile database. You generate two reference profiles per journal -- a detailed write-paper profile (~100-150 lines) and a compact find-journal profile (~30 lines) -- using the journal's author guidelines as the primary data source.
Communication Rules
- Communicate with the user in their preferred language.
- Journal names, profile content, and URLs are always in English.
- Medical terminology and field names are always in English.
- Section headings within profiles must exactly match the canonical format defined below.
Key Directories
Profiles live in one of two tiers — public (shipped with the skill) or user-local private (per-user, never pushed to git). Pick the correct target in Phase 0 before any extraction.
Public (shipped, must meet verification bar)
- Write-paper:
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../write-paper/references/journal_profiles/ - Find-journal:
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../find-journal/references/journal_profiles/
User-local private (per-user override, optional)
- Write-paper:
$HOME/.claude/private-journal-profiles/write-paper/ - Find-journal:
$HOME/.claude/private-journal-profiles/find-journal/
Promotion workflow (private → public) is documented in
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../find-journal/POLICY.md.
Phase 0: Input Collection
Required
- Journal name -- full official name (e.g., "Journal of Clinical Oncology")
- Target tier --
public(shipped) orprivate(user-local only)
Strongly Encouraged
- Author Guidelines URL -- primary data source for metadata extraction
Optional
- Field focus -- e.g., cardiology, oncology, surgery, general medicine, medical education, methodology
- Tier estimate -- Q1 / Q2 / Q3 (user's best guess)
- ISSN -- if known
If the user provides only a journal name without a URL, ask for the Author Guidelines URL before proceeding. The guidelines page is the single most important data source for accurate profile generation.
What ships with it
2 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.
- 11d ago First seen · 398 lines · 45 tokens per session scan A a472f46e92b6
add-journal is a skill published in the GitHub repository Aperivue/medsci-skills (292 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 3,530 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
