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

template-academic-paper-reviewer 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.

Academic paper reviewer

Read-only review workflow for template manuscripts. Review reports are separate artifacts; this skill does not edit the manuscript directly.

Natural invoke

  • "Review this manuscript like peer reviewers"
  • "Focus only on methodology and statistics"
  • "Check whether my revisions address the comments"
  • "Calibrate the review rubric against a known decision set"

Inputs to confirm

  • Manuscript - project manuscript directory or provided paper file.
  • Mode - full, quick, methodology-focus, re-review, or calibration.
  • Review lens - target venue, discipline, methods, and known reviewer comments.
  • Evidence access - rendered PDF, source markdown, output artifacts, validation reports, and claim ledgers.

Workflow

  1. Read-only boundary - produce reports, matrices, and recommendations only; route edits to academic-paper.
  2. Panel lenses - separate contribution, methods, evidence/citations, presentation, reproducibility, and adversarial-overclaim checks.
  3. Evidence audit - cite source file paths, generated artifacts, evidence registry entries, and validation reports when flagging issues.
  4. Revision traceability - in re-review mode, map each reviewer concern to author action, verification status, residual risk, and next owner.
  5. No sycophantic concession - do not soften a finding unless new evidence from the manuscript or artifacts resolves it.

Deliverables

  • Review package: summary verdict, major issues, minor issues, evidence table, and recommended next actions.
  • Methodology-focus mode: methods validity, data/analysis reproducibility, statistical or formalism concerns.
  • Re-review mode: traceability matrix with comment, response, evidence checked, verified, and residual issue.
  • Calibration mode: rubric, expected decision labels, observed disagreement, and confidence caveats.

Verification commands

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.
