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 | $0.00036 | $0.02304 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00922 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00461 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00230 |
Grade A, and why
scientific-writing 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 23d 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 — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scientific Writing
One scientific-writing skill for Codex and Claude Code. It has two modes that share one role set and one set of hard rules:
- Drafting and revision: produce a manuscript section or rebuttal from authoritative artifacts and improve it through review and revision loops.
- Writing review: audit existing prose for clarity, voice, sentence structure, terminology, and numerical consistency without changing the science.
Routing Boundary
- Use this skill when the output is manuscript prose, or a prose-quality review that keeps the scientific claims as they are.
- Use
/bio-logicwhen the question is whether a method, design, causal claim, or interpretation is scientifically justified. - Use
/manuscript-review-councilfor journal-style peer review or a multi-reviewer critique, then bring the evidence-backed revisions back here. - Use
/proposal-reviewto critique a funding proposal; use this skill to write or revise its narrative. - A request that only says "write" does not establish scientific-writing intent.
State Assumptions First
Before drafting or reviewing, state:
- manuscript mode: new draft, revision, rebuttal, review response, section rewrite, or writing review
- review mode for a writing review (see below)
- target venue or formatting target when known
- authoritative artifacts available
- missing artifacts that block specific claims
If a required input is missing, name the gap and limit the affected claim to what the evidence shows.
Review Modes
| Mode | Trigger | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
full-review |
"review my manuscript", "writing review" | Run all five prose audits on the whole document. Default when the request is ambiguous. |
section-review |
"review the Introduction" | Run all five audits on one section. |
targeted |
"fix passive voice", "strip the clutter" | Run only the requested audit passes. |
interactive |
"walk me through improving this" | Go paragraph by paragraph: original, revision, reason; wait for confirmation. |
What ships with it
5 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.

scientific-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository fmschulz/omics-skills (11 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 2,304 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
