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.

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 | $0.00052 | $0.00922 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00461 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00184 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
template-academic-paper 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 6d 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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Academic paper
Template-native paper workflow. It uses project manuscript sources, generated variables, validation gates, and evidence registries rather than a copied external academic agent prompt.
Natural invoke
- "Help me plan this paper"
- "Write the outline and methods section from these artifacts"
- "Revise the manuscript after reviewer comments"
- "Check citations and convert the final paper format"
- "Write an AI-use disclosure tied to the repo evidence"
Inputs to confirm
- Project - resolve through
docs/_generated/active_projects.md. - Mode - plan, outline, full, revision, format, citation-check, prose-quality, or disclosure.
- Manuscript style - Pandoc-crossref or registry tokens; do not mix styles.
- Evidence sources - generated variables, claim ledger, figures, tables, references, validation reports.
Workflow
- Plan first when uncertain - capture target venue, paper type, contribution, section map, and unresolved material gaps.
- Draft from artifacts - write against
projects/<project>/manuscript/, generated variables, figure captions, and citekeys; use[MATERIAL GAP]instead of fabricating missing evidence. - Preserve injected values - prefer
[[VAR:...]], registry-backed labels, citekeys, and project-defined cross-reference tokens over hard-coded numbers. - Validate continuously - run prerender, markdown, citation, PDF, and integrity checks appropriate to the mode.
- Self-edit the prose - run the AI-writing-fingerprint scan (
prose-quality) and tighten any flagged stock phrasing, em-dash over-use, or uniform sentence length. Treat it as advisory (revise, do not blindly delete); it is a deterministic clean-room distillation of the ARS writing-quality check, not a model judgment. - Verify references exist - in citation-check/format/finalize, run the reference-existence gate so no cited DOI/arXiv id is fabricated and no metadata is mismatched.
- Handoff for review - use academic-paper-reviewer for read-only critique; use claim verification before finalization.
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.

template-academic-paper is a skill published in the GitHub repository docxology/template (19 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 922 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
