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

paper-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 9d 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.

Paper Writing Skill

Draft, structure, and refine scientific papers across all disciplines.

When to Use

  • "Write the methods section for..."
  • "Draft an abstract for these results"
  • "Help me structure this paper"
  • "Format these citations in APA/IEEE"
  • "Improve the introduction of my paper"
  • Generating LaTeX-formatted content

When NOT to Use

  • Literature searching (use literature-search)
  • Data analysis (use code-execution + scipy-analysis)
  • Non-academic writing
  • Grant proposals (different structure)

Paper Structure (IMRaD)

Title

  • Concise, informative, contains key terms
  • Avoid abbreviations and jargon
  • 10-15 words ideal

Abstract (150-300 words)

Background: [1-2 sentences: context and gap]
Objective: [1 sentence: what this study does]
Methods: [2-3 sentences: approach and data]
Results: [2-3 sentences: key findings with numbers]
Conclusions: [1-2 sentences: implications]

Introduction

  1. Broad context (funnel from general to specific)
  2. Literature review (key findings, organized thematically)
  3. Research gap (what's missing or contradictory)
  4. Study objective and hypothesis
  5. Brief approach overview
  6. Significance statement

Methods

  • Study design and setting
  • Participants/samples (inclusion/exclusion criteria)
  • Materials and instruments
  • Procedure (reproducible detail)
  • Data analysis plan
  • Ethical approvals

Results

  • Present in order of research questions
  • Text + tables + figures (no redundancy)
  • Statistical results: test statistic, df, p-value, effect size
  • Report exact p-values (not just p < 0.05)

Discussion

  1. Summary of key findings
  2. Comparison with prior literature
  3. Mechanistic explanation
  4. Strengths of the study
  5. Limitations and their impact
  6. Future directions
  7. Conclusions and implications

Citation Formats

APA 7th Edition

  • In-text: (Author, Year) or Author (Year)
  • Two authors: (Smith & Jones, 2024)
  • 3+ authors: (Smith et al., 2024)

IEEE

  • Numbered: [1], [2], [3]
  • Reference list: [1] A. Author, "Title," Journal, vol. X, no. Y, pp. Z-Z, Year.

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.

paper-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository beita6969/ScienceClaw (898 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,003 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 2026-09-03.
