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: 1 finding, up to low
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 →
- low Excessive Agency · line 7 Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.
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 | $0.00386 | $0.04965 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00154 | $0.01986 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00077 | $0.00993 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00039 | $0.00496 |
Grade A, and why
aminer-academic-search 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 2mo 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 — 308 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AMiner Open Platform Academic Data Query
29 APIs + 6 workflows. Token required: set AMINER_API_KEY env var.
Mandatory Rules (Critical)
- Token Security: Only check whether
AMINER_API_KEYexists; never expose the token in plain text anywhere. - Cost Control: Prefer optimal combined queries; never do indiscriminate full-detail retrieval. Default to top 10 details when the user has not specified a count.
- Free-First: Prefer free APIs unless the user explicitly requires deeper fields; only upgrade to paid APIs when free ones cannot satisfy the need.
- Result Links: Always append an accessible URL after each entity in the output.
- Disambiguation: Scholar ambiguity → filter by
org/org_idor ask user to confirm. Org ambiguity → useorg_disambiguate_pro. Paper ambiguity → cross-checkyear+venue_name+first_author. - Cost Report: After completing all API calls, always output a cost summary to the user showing: each API called, its unit price, number of calls, and the total cost. Format example:
[Cost] ¥X.XX total, N API calls (api_a: ¥X.XX × N, api_b: Free × N). - High-Cost Confirmation (≥ ¥5): Before executing a workflow or call chain whose estimated total cost is ¥5.00 or more, stop and ask the user for confirmation first. Show the planned call chain, estimated cost per step, and the total. Only proceed after the user explicitly agrees. This applies to both predefined workflows (e.g., Scholar Profile ~¥6.00) and ad-hoc multi-step plans.
- Experiment Intent Boundary: Call
experiment_searchonly when the user explicitly asks for experiment-level data, Experiment JSON, methods, datasets, or structured experimental results. Never add it to ordinary paper search, abstract/citation lookup, scholar/org/venue/patent requests, broad topic search, or the default Paper Deep Dive workflow.
Entity URL templates (mandatory):
- Paper:
https://www.aminer.cn/pub/{paper_id} - Scholar:
https://www.aminer.cn/profile/{scholar_id} - Patent:
https://www.aminer.cn/patent/{patent_id} - Journal:
https://www.aminer.cn/open/journal/detail/{journal_id}
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.

aminer-academic-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository CanXiangCC/aminer-open-skill (61 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 386 tokens to every session and 4,965 once invoked, about $0.0015 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.
