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 | $0.00152 | $0.02753 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00061 | $0.01101 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00551 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00275 |
Grade A, and why
write-scientific-manuscript 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 18d 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 — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Write Scientific Manuscripts
Make the science easy to follow before making the prose elegant. Optimize in this order: scientific logic, reader comprehension, evidential precision, then style.
Where this sits
This skill owns clarity and logic diagnosis. It carries no house style and no punctuation budget.
manuscript-optimizerwhen the problem is above the prose: the claim hierarchy, evidence chain, or figure logic is unstable. Fix that first. Polishing a paragraph whose scientific role is wrong wastes the edit.scientific-writingwhen a section needs drafting or rewriting into full paragraphs, or when the task names a citation style or a reporting guideline.anti-defensive-writingafter the passage logic is settled, when the text reads like an audit report, a rebuttal or a self-critique.scientific-prose-stylelast, for punctuation and rhythm. This file deliberately carries no em-dash or semicolon rule. That skill owns both, and its cap for each is at most one per paragraph and none in the abstract.results-section-revisionwhen only Results subsection flow and paragraph openings need repair.review-article-architecturewhen the piece is a Review, survey, or Perspective.rebuttal-responsewhen the prose is a reply to reviewers rather than manuscript text. The claim-calibration ladder there is the same one used below.
Establish the intended meaning
Before rewriting, determine:
- What single point must the reader understand?
- What information must the reader already know for that point to make sense?
- What evidence supports it?
- What inference is justified, and what remains uncertain?
- Why does the point matter at this location in the manuscript?
Do not polish a sentence whose scientific role is unclear. If necessary, briefly diagnose the logic before drafting.
For file-based revision, identify the authoritative version and preserve citations, figure references, terminology, numbers, and formatting. Read the file before editing it, and rebuild the document when the edit could disturb layout, floats, or cross-references.
What ships with it
2 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.

write-scientific-manuscript is a skill published in the GitHub repository Boom5426/Nature-Paper-Skills (637 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 152 tokens to every session and 2,753 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

anti-defensive-writing-en
Stops defensive writing across the entire paper lifecycle — writing, revising, cutting, and organizing experiments. Treats the paper as a press conference, not a project summary, lab log, or self-audit: identify the single most publishable strength of the work and build the most favorable, complete, and persuasive…
anti-defensive-writing
A Chinese-language writing guide for presenting a research paper around its strongest supported contribution. It treats the paper as a focused academic presentation rather than a project diary or complete lab record.
