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 | $0.00042 | $0.02368 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.01184 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00474 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00237 |
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 3d 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 — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scientific Writing
Use this as the single scientific-writing skill for both Codex and Claude Code. It covers two related modes of work:
- Drafting and revision — produce a manuscript or rebuttal from authoritative artifacts and iterate it through review-revise loops.
- Sentence-level writing review — audit existing prose for clarity, voice, sentence architecture, terminology consistency, and numerical integrity, without changing the underlying science.
The two modes share the same role set and the same hard rules. Pick the entry point that matches the request; the workflow then routes accordingly.
Routing Boundary
- Use this skill when the requested output is manuscript prose or a prose- quality review that preserves the underlying scientific claims.
- Use
/bio-logicwhen the main 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. Route the resulting evidence-backed revisions back here. - Generic requests containing only “write” do not establish scientific-writing intent and should remain unmatched.
State Assumptions First
Before drafting or reviewing, state:
- manuscript mode: new draft, revision, rebuttal, review response, section rewrite, or writing review
- review mode when this is a writing review:
full-review,section-review,targeted, orinteractive(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 keep the prose conservative.
Review Modes
When the request is a writing review of existing prose, choose one mode:
| Mode | Trigger | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
full-review |
"review my manuscript", "writing review" | Run all five prose-quality audits on the whole document and emit a structured report. Default when ambiguous. |
section-review |
"review the Introduction", "check the Discussion" | Run all five audits on a single section. |
targeted |
"fix passive voice", "strip the clutter" | Run only the requested audit pass(es). |
interactive |
"walk me through improving this" | Go paragraph by paragraph: show original, show revision, explain changes, 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 (7 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 2,368 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.
