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: 3 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 | $0.00085 | $0.02571 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01286 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00514 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00257 |
Grade A, and why
aer-consistency 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 — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AER Consistency
Overview
Referees and editors run cheap integrity checks before engaging with ideas: does the abstract's number appear in the tables? Do the Ns add up? Does "Table 4" exist? Does every citation resolve? A single mismatch reframes the entire report from "is this right?" to "what else is wrong?" — and for AI-assisted manuscripts these mismatches are the modal failure, because text and tables are often generated in separate passes.
This skill is the full-manuscript integrity audit. It is mechanical by design: every check below has a yes/no answer obtained by comparing two artifacts, not by judgment. Run it after every revision round, not only before first submission.
When to Use
- The body sections and exhibits exist and the manuscript is being assembled
- After an R&R revision, when numbers and exhibit ordering changed
- Before
aer-referee-sim(so the simulated referees attack substance, not typos) and beforeaer-submission - Any time results were re-run — even "tiny" re-runs desynchronize text
Audit 1 — The Headline-Number Register
Build a register of every number that appears more than once in the manuscript, then verify each row against its single source of truth (the table or the replication output):
NUMBER SOURCE ABSTRACT INTRO RESULTS CONCL MATCH
4.2 log points Tab 3 col 4 yes yes yes yes OK
s.e. 1.1 Tab 3 col 4 yes no yes no OK
$84 billion cited source no yes no yes OK
N = 37,824 Tab 1 no no yes no OK
Rules:
- Every quoted estimate matches its table to the digit, including the standard error. No re-rounding in prose: if the table says 0.042 (0.011), the text says 4.2, not 4 or 4.20.
- The abstract, introduction, and conclusion quote the same headline specification. Quoting column 3 in the abstract and column 4 in the intro is a real and common failure.
- Externally sourced numbers (the hook's "$84 billion") carry a citation at first use, and the same value everywhere.
What ships with it
3 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.

aer-consistency is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/AER-Skills (49 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 2,571 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
