fin-paper-plan

fin-paper-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from csmar432/finai-research. It costs 8 tokens per session (9,166 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool for turning a finance or economics research idea into a journal-specific paper outline. It can use a research brief to adapt the structure, language, methods, word targets, figures, and tables to the intended journal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan chapters, set approximate word counts, choose where figures and tables belong, and tailor an empirical or theoretical paper to journals such as JF, JFE, RFS, 经济研究, or 金融研究.
Why use it?
It gives the paper a clear structure before drafting begins and keeps the planned content aligned with the journal’s expectations. It also makes space for figures and tables part of the design rather than an afterthought.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

fin-paper-plan 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 894 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

fin-paper-plan

Generate a structured academic paper outline adapted to the target journal, including chapter word count targets, figure plan, and table plan.

Step 0: Read Input Files

First, read any existing research briefs to extract the target journal and research type:

# Check for existing research files
ls -la output/fin-brief/
ls -la output/fin-ideas/

Read FIN_BRIEF.md (if exists) to extract:

  • target_journal: 经济研究 / 金融研究 / 管理世界 / JF / JFE / RFS / JAE / etc.
  • language: zh / en
  • research_type: empirical / theoretical / empirical+theory
  • main_method: DID / IV / RDD / PSM / Panel GMM / etc.
import os
from pathlib import Path

brief_path = Path("output/fin-brief/FIN_BRIEF.md")
if brief_path.exists():
    content = brief_path.read_text()
    # Extract key fields with regex or simple parsing
    # target_journal = extract_field(content, "target_journal")
    # language = extract_field(content, "language")

Step 1: Select Journal Template

Map the target journal to its formatting requirements:

Journal Format Language Word Count Style

金融研究 CTeX / LaTeX 中文 10,000–15,000字 Empirical-focused, CTeX

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.
