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 | $0.00044 | $0.00284 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00142 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00057 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00028 |
Grade A, and why
explore-journal-scope 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 9d 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
Explore Journal Scope
Systematically gather and document a journal's scope, aims, and acceptance criteria.
Search Strategy
- Search for
"<journal name> aims and scope" - Search for
"<journal name> author guidelines" - Search for
"<journal name> acceptance criteria" - Fetch the official journal website's scope/aims page
- Cross-reference with any supplementary scope documents
Information to Extract
- Mission statement and editorial focus
- Subject areas and domains covered
- Types of contributions accepted (original research, reviews, case studies, letters, etc.)
- Target audience description
- Topics explicitly in scope and out of scope
- Acceptance criteria or editorial priorities
- Any special sections or calls for papers
Quality Checks
- Verify information comes from the official journal website
- Note when information is unavailable or ambiguous
- Cross-check scope statements across multiple pages for consistency
Output Location
Save to context/<journal-slug>/scope-and-criteria.md (cache)
AND <report-directory>/01-scope-and-criteria.md (session artifact)
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.

explore-journal-scope is a skill published in the GitHub repository FilippoScaramuzza/agentic-reviewer (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 284 once invoked, about $0.0002 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
search-math-results
Find program-conditioned math results, constructions, examples, counterexamples, analogies, and background references. Use when the current active program needs repair, mutation, analogy, a program shift, or carefully gated obstruction search.
check-referenced-statements
Validate externally referenced theorems by querying arXiv theorem search first and Codex's built-in web search second. Use when a markdown proof cites statements from external papers.
verify-sequential-statements
Verify a markdown proof in the order it is written. Use when the task is to check local correctness, theorem applicability, and reasoning gaps statement by statement through a paper-style proof.
construct-counterexamples
Construct candidate counterexamples to test a proposed conjecture, lemma, or intermediate claim by keeping the assumptions true while making the claimed conclusion fail. Use when a proposed conjecture/claim feels fragile or unproved, or when you are stuck in reasoning and want to see where the assumptions take effect…
obtain-immediate-conclusions
Derive immediate mathematical consequences from a theorem statement or subgoal. Use when starting a new problem, branch, or subgoal, or when cheap progress or a cleaner reformulation is needed before deeper proof search.
propose-subgoal-decomposition-plans
Propose multiple subgoal decomposition plans for the current theorem using the information already gathered. Use when enough information has been collected from examples, counterexamples, search results, and previous failures to break the problem into several materially different plans.
