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 | $0.00045 | $0.01097 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00549 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00219 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00110 |
Grade A, and why
nature-portfolio-playbook 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Nature Portfolio Playbook
Overview
Use this skill when the venue decision itself is still live, or when a manuscript already targets Nature, Nature Methods, or Nature Biotechnology and needs venue-specific framing before a heavy revision pass.
This skill is about fit and policy. It does not replace scientific-writing, manuscript-optimizer, or submission-audit.
When To Use
Use this skill when:
- the user asks whether a story fits
Nature,Nature Methods, orNature Biotechnology - the paper has a
Nature-style tone but the actual venue is undecided - the contribution could be framed as an
Article,Resource,Analysis, or short-format methods report - a manuscript is close to submission and needs a Nature Portfolio-specific preflight
Do not use this skill when:
- the task is generic sentence-level editing
- the venue is a conference or a non-Nature journal
- the manuscript structure itself is still unstable and needs
manuscript-optimizerfirst
Venue Routing
Flagship Nature
Default to Nature only when the paper makes a broad conceptual advance that matters outside the immediate specialty and can be explained to non-specialists without heavy field-specific scaffolding.
Use these framing defaults:
- prioritize broad readership over specialist density
- keep title and abstract low-jargon
- preserve the non-specialist-friendly summary paragraph expectation
- if fit is uncertain, explicitly test whether the broad-readership case is real before optimizing prose too far
Nature Methods
Prefer Nature Methods when the central contribution is a method, assay, platform, computational approach, or resource whose main claim is enabling power.
Before calling a story Nature Methods-fit, check that the manuscript can support all of these:
- a clear technical advance over available approaches
- validation and benchmarking against credible baselines or alternatives
- enough detail or protocol access for reproducibility
- demonstrated general utility, not just one narrow showcase
- a compelling biological or biomedical application that shows why the method matters
What ships with it
1 file 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.

nature-portfolio-playbook is a skill published in the GitHub repository Boom5426/Nature-Paper-Skills (490 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,097 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.
