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 →

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 | $0.00290 | $0.03364 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00145 | $0.01682 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00058 | $0.00673 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00336 |
Grade A, and why
paper-reviewer 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 — 259 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Referee Reports and the Replies That Answer Them
Two jobs, one standpoint. Writing a referee report and answering one are the same competence seen from two sides: you can only prove you answered a question if you can reconstruct the question that was asked.
Pick the mode before starting.
| Mode | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
report |
a manuscript | a referee report, or a prediction of what referees will attack |
inventory |
a referee report | every ask and sub-ask, in the referee's own words and order |
reply |
a report plus a manuscript | one reply per ask, plus the coverage audit |
grade |
a drafted reply | what an impatient referee would send back |
The contract
A referee report is a list of questions. A reply is a list of answers. The job is to make the two lists line up so exactly that a referee can verify it by scrolling their own report alongside your letter.
Same count. Same identifiers. Same order. Same words. Depth matched to weight.
The alignment has to be visible on the page, not asserted in a summary. Three consequences, and every rule in this skill follows from them:
- The referee's comment is reproduced verbatim, immediately above its reply. Not paraphrased, not summarised, not trimmed. Nature Methods names rephrasing a referee's comment as a manipulative tactic, and Nature Chemistry asks authors to list the referees' individual points.
- The reply uses the referee's own words. If they wrote
data leak, the reply saysdata leak. Never coin a replacement term, a framework name, or a category label that the referee would have to learn in order to read your answer. Plain language comes from glossing their term, never from inventing a better one. - The referee is impatient. Nature Neuroscience puts it as
keeping in mind that referees are busy. The first sentence carries the answer. Reply length is the minimum that settles the point. Over-answering a light comment is as much a defect as under-answering a heavy one, and Nature Chemistry warns specifically that a long-winded essay style makes a revision harder to follow.
What ships with it
6 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.

paper-reviewer is a skill published in the GitHub repository Boom5426/Nature-Paper-Skills (490 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 290 tokens to every session and 3,364 once invoked, about $0.0014 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.
