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 | $0.00024 | $0.00474 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00237 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00095 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
academic-editorial-judgment 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.
What it actually says
Academic Editorial Judgment
The Problem
Complex editorial style rules require judgment, not pattern-matching:
Rule: "Use past tense for completed research, present for ongoing implications"
Bad (mechanical): Find all verbs, check tense
Good (judgment): Does this describe what was done (past) or what it means (present)?
APA7, Chicago, MLA — all have context-dependent rules.
The Solution
Apply critical thinking to editorial decisions:
1. Identify the Rule's Intent
| Rule | Surface Form | Actual Intent |
|---|---|---|
| Past tense for methods | "We analyzed..." | Completed actions |
| Present for conclusions | "Results show..." | Ongoing validity |
| Active voice | Subject-verb-object | Clarity, attribution |
2. Check Context Before Applying
❌ Mechanical: "Change all 'is' to 'was'"
✅ Judgment: "Is this describing what IS true, or what WAS done?"
Example:
- "The sample was collected..." ✅ Past (completed action)
- "The effect is significant..." ✅ Present (ongoing validity)
- "Figure 1 shows..." ✅ Present (the figure currently shows)
3. Preserve Author Voice
Don't "fix" intentional style choices:
- Regional spellings (behaviour/behavior)
- Disciplinary conventions
- Established terminology
Decision Tree
1. Is this a hard rule (spelling, citation format)?
→ Apply mechanically
2. Is this a judgment call (tense, voice, word choice)?
→ Check context
→ Consider author intent
→ Apply if clearly wrong, query if ambiguous
3. Am I confident this improves the text?
→ No: Leave a suggestion, don't change
→ Yes: Change with explanation
When to Apply
- Editing academic manuscripts
- Applying style guides (APA, MLA, Chicago)
- Any editorial work with context-dependent rules

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.

academic-editorial-judgment is a skill published in the GitHub repository fabioc-aloha/Alex_Skill_Mall (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 474 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
apply-cross-functional-leadership
Use when a manager needs to lead a project or initiative that depends on team members or stakeholders they do not formally manage — to build voluntary cooperation, alignment, and momentum across organizational boundaries through influence rather than authority.
build-psychological-safety
Use when a team leader wants to assess and improve the degree to which team members feel safe to speak up, admit mistakes, ask questions, and disagree — because psychological safety is the strongest predictor of team learning and high performance.
run-performance-improvement-plan
Use when a direct report has a documented pattern of performance falling below role expectations — after informal feedback has not produced sustained change — to create a structured, time-bound plan with clear success criteria before making a continuation decision.
run-underperformance-conversation
Use when a manager first observes that a direct report's performance is declining or falling below expectations — to have an early, direct, non-punitive conversation that names the gap and opens a path to correction before the situation requires formal process.
apply-change-leadership
Use when a manager's team is experiencing a significant organizational change — restructuring, strategy shift, leadership change, layoffs, or major process transition — and needs leadership that maintains team stability, preserves trust, and converts uncertainty into direction.
apply-distributed-team-practices
Use when managing a team where members work in different locations, time zones, or on hybrid schedules — to adapt management practices so remote members have equal access to information, relationships, and advancement opportunities as in-office members.
