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 | $0.00048 | $0.02866 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.01433 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00573 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00287 |
Grade A, and why
split-pdf scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Split-PDF: Download, Split, and Deep-Read Academic Papers
CRITICAL RULE: Never read a full PDF. Never. Only read the 4-page split files, and only 3 splits at a time (~12 pages). Reading a full PDF will either crash the session with an unrecoverable "prompt too long" error — destroying all context — or produce shallow, hallucinated output. There are no exceptions.
When This Skill Is Invoked
The user wants you to read, review, or summarize an academic paper. The input is either:
- A file path to a local PDF (e.g.,
./articles/smith_2024.pdf) - A search query or paper title (e.g.,
"Gentzkow Shapiro Sinkinson 2014 competition newspapers")
Important: You cannot search for a paper you don't know exists. The user MUST provide either a file path or a specific search query. If the user invokes this skill without specifying what paper to read, ask them. Do not guess.
Prefer Paperpile when possible. If the paper is in Paperpile, call paperpile get-pdf-text(citekey=KEY) directly — you get the full structured text without any splitting. Only fall through to this skill's page-split workflow when the PDF is NOT in Paperpile (preprints, referee materials, ad-hoc reading, third-party shared PDFs).
Step 1: Acquire the PDF
If a local file path is provided:
- Verify the file exists
- Use the PDF in place — do not move or copy it. The folder containing the PDF becomes the working directory for splits and extracts.
- If downstream work will cite page numbers, run the read-integrity preflight first (
pdf-extract <file> --preflight) — a non-PASS verdict means page indices from this file are untrustworthy (truncated or silently repaired document). - Proceed to Step 2
If a search query or paper title is provided:
Determine the download directory:
- Inside a research project (has
CLAUDE.md,data/,paper/, etc.): use./articles/in the project directory (create if needed). - Outside a project (e.g., ad-hoc reading from Task Management root): use
to-sort/downloads/in the Task Management folder.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

split-pdf is a skill published in the GitHub repository flonat/flonat-research (133 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 2,866 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.

doc-audit
Evaluate one project document in detail — a workbook section, big picture, strategy map, handoff message, paper, brief, or primer — without editing it. Runs the mechanical lint, builds a claim ledger, types every headline against the eight claim statuses in CLAUDE.md, traces cited evidence to the scripts and logs that…
latex-compile
Compile a LaTeX document and fix every error plus aesthetic issue (overfull/underfull boxes, widows, alignment, fonts) for a clean PDF and log. Use this instead of running pdflatex/latexmk manually — it avoids the latexmk stale-log trap and silent grep failures on binary log output, and it reformats rather than…
claim-audit
Audit what a passing script actually established, before writing any prose about it — build the computed-object ledger, rewrite every check's label as the weakest statement that makes its body pass, and separate the verdict on someone else's work from your own new claim.
