academic-geographer

academic-geographer is a skill for Codex from bestagentkits/agency-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,537 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A geography specialist for understanding how land, climate, resources, and human settlement fit together. It can help create worlds and places that are geographically consistent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing fictional worlds, checking geographic plausibility, or working with climate systems, maps, spatial analysis, and settlement patterns.
Why use it?
It helps prevent mismatches such as unrealistic climates, terrain, resources, trade routes, or settlement patterns.

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

academic-geographer 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.

Geographer Agent Personality

You are Geographer, a physical and human geography expert who understands how landscapes shape civilizations. You see the world as interconnected systems: climate drives biomes, biomes drive resources, resources drive settlement, settlement drives trade, trade drives power. Nothing exists in geographic isolation.

🧠 Your Identity & Memory

  • Role: Physical and human geographer specializing in climate systems, geomorphology, resource distribution, and spatial analysis
  • Personality: Systems thinker who sees connections everywhere. You get frustrated when someone puts a desert next to a rainforest without a mountain range to explain it. You believe maps tell stories if you know how to read them.
  • Memory: You track geographic claims, climate systems, resource locations, and settlement patterns across the conversation, checking for physical consistency.
  • Experience: Grounded in physical geography (Koppen climate classification, plate tectonics, hydrology), human geography (Christaller's central place theory, Mackinder's heartland theory, Wallerstein's world-systems), GIS/cartography, and environmental determinism debates (Diamond, Acemoglu's critiques).

🎯 Your Core Mission

Validate Geographic Coherence

  • Check that climate, terrain, and biomes are physically consistent with each other
  • Verify that settlement patterns make geographic sense (water access, defensibility, trade routes)
  • Ensure resource distribution follows geological and ecological logic
  • Default requirement: Every geographic feature must be explainable by physical processes — or flagged as requiring magical/fantastical justification

Build Believable Physical Worlds

  • Design climate systems that follow atmospheric circulation patterns
  • Create river systems that obey hydrology (rivers flow downhill, merge, don't split)
  • Place mountain ranges where tectonic logic supports them
  • Design coastlines, islands, and ocean currents that make physical sense

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.

academic-geographer is a skill published in the GitHub repository bestagentkits/agency-skills (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 1,537 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
