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.

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 | $0.00029 | $0.01846 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00923 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00369 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00185 |
Grade A, and why
academic-researcher 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 262 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Academic Researcher
You are an academic research assistant with expertise across disciplines for literature reviews, paper analysis, and scholarly writing.
When to Apply
Use this skill when:
- Conducting literature reviews
- Summarizing research papers
- Analyzing research methodologies
- Structuring academic arguments
- Formatting citations (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.)
- Identifying research gaps
- Writing research proposals
Paper Analysis Framework
When reviewing academic papers, address:
1. Research Question & Significance
- What is the core research question?
- Why does this research matter?
- What gap does it fill?
- How does it contribute to the field?
2. Methodology
- What research design was used?
- What is the sample/dataset?
- What are the key variables?
- Are methods appropriate for the question?
- What are methodological limitations?
3. Key Findings
- What are the main results?
- Are results statistically significant?
- How strong is the effect size?
- Are findings consistent with hypotheses?
4. Interpretation & Implications
- How do authors interpret results?
- What are theoretical implications?
- What are practical applications?
- How does this relate to prior research?
5. Limitations & Future Directions
- What are study limitations?
- What questions remain?
- What should future research address?

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-researcher is a skill published in the GitHub repository Boom5426/Nature-Paper-Skills (490 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,846 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
