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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00033 | $0.02784 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.01392 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00557 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00278 |
Grade A, and why
latex-template 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 7d 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 — 242 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Template Compliance
Compare a research project's LaTeX preamble against the working-paper template bundled with the installed
latexskill. Classify every difference, produce a scored report, and optionally apply changes interactively.
When to Use
- After the template has been updated and you want to check older papers
- Before submission — verify the preamble is clean and up to date
- When a paper has mysterious compilation issues (often a stale preamble)
- During periodic maintenance or
system-audit - When starting work on a paper that hasn't been touched in a while
When NOT to Use
- Setting up a new project — the separate
init-project-researchworkflow copies the template; this skill audits an existing project - Fixing compilation errors — use
latexfirst, then run this - Non-LaTeX projects — this skill is LaTeX-specific
Critical Rules
- Never edit without
--apply. Default mode is report-only. Without--apply, the skill produces a report and exits. - Never auto-apply Conflict items. Conflicts always require explicit user confirmation via
the available structured-question mechanism. - Semantic comparison, not line-by-line. Compare packages, options, commands, and environments as logical units — not raw text diffs.
- Preserve project-specific additions. Items classified as Keep are informational. Never suggest removing them unless they conflict with a template feature.
- Template is the reference, not the authority. Projects may legitimately diverge. The skill reports differences — the user decides what to act on.
- Compile after applying. If
--applymakes any changes, always verify withlatex.
Protocol
Phase 1: Locate & Parse
- Resolve the project path. Accept as argument or use CWD. Resolve to absolute path.
- Find the project's preamble files. The canonical location is the Overleaf document, accessed via the
paper/symlink in the project directory. Search in this order:- New format (
.styfiles):paper/your-template.sty+paper/your-bib-template.sty(Overleaf symlink — preferred) - Legacy format:
paper/settings.tex(Overleaf symlink) - If no
paper/symlink exists, check the project root foryour-template.sty(orsettings.tex) - Project root:
your-template.sty+your-bib-template.styorsettings.tex(for local-only projects without Overleaf) - Any
\input{settings}or\usepackage{your-template}inmain.texpointing elsewhere
- New format (
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.

latex-template is a skill published in the GitHub repository flonat/flonat-research (132 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 2,784 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 2026-09-03.
