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 | $0.00182 | $0.03730 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00091 | $0.01865 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00746 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00373 |
Grade A, and why
aminer-pdf-citation-verifier 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 11d 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 — 254 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PDF Citation Verifier
Verify whether the references in a paper PDF actually exist by submitting the PDF to the AMiner pdf-citation-verifier service, polling the asynchronous job, and returning a structured summary. Invoke via natural language or /pdf-citation-verifier.
What This Skill Does
For each reference parsed from the uploaded PDF, the upstream service queries AMiner SearchPro and labels the citation with one of:
REAL— high-confidence match in AMiner.LIKELY_REAL— partial match, likely genuine.NEEDS_REVIEW— evidence is inconclusive; ask a human.LIKELY_FAKE— partial mismatch, probably fabricated.FAKE— no plausible match found.
Each call to the gateway returns the standard envelope {"code": 200, "success": true, "msg": "", "data": ..., "log_id": "..."}. The script unwraps it before printing.
POST /api/v3/paper/citation/verify/uploadreturnsdata: {"job_id": "verify_..."}.GET /api/v3/paper/citation/result?job_id=...returnsdata: [<record>]where the single record has top-level fields likeis_finish,has_hallucination,hallucination_ratio,total,counts_by_status,summary,urls,report,result.- Whenever the script sees
is_finish: true, it also auto-downloadsurls.result(the per-reference JSON) and inlines it asdetailson the returned payload — so a single--outputfile contains both the summary and every record'sstatus/confidence/title/first_author/key_reasons/top_match, with no need to follow the 5-minute OSS link.
The skill returns that record plus the job_id so the user can re-poll later.

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-pdf-citation-verifier is a skill published in the GitHub repository CanXiangCC/aminer-open-skill (60 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 182 tokens to every session and 3,730 once invoked, about $0.0009 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.

Use pydicom to read, inspect, write, transform, and safely preflight local DICOM datasets and pixel data. Applies to DICOM metadata, transfer syntaxes, compression plugins, frames, private elements, JSON, and bounded de-identification review.
foundry-hosted-agent-validation
Step-by-step process for validating a Python Foundry hosted agent sample (under python/samples/04-hosting/foundry-hosted-agents/) end to end — running it locally (native runtime and azd ai agent run) and after deploying it to an Azure AI Foundry project with azd. Use this when asked to validate a hosted agent sample.

Use direct Python execution for reliable document creation including spreadsheets, PDFs, and structured reports.
parse-document
Convert a PDF, scan, image of a page, or office file to clean markdown through the connected Superlinked MCP edge, so the source document is not read into model context directly. Use when the user asks to read, parse, OCR, extract from, summarize, or answer questions about a document.
