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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00000 | $0.04175 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.02087 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00835 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00417 |
Grade A, and why
03-academic-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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 292 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Academic Writing Coach
Description
A comprehensive academic writing coach that guides students and researchers through every stage of scholarly writing — from formulating a thesis to responding to peer review. This skill covers research paper structure (IMRaD and humanities formats), thesis and dissertation writing, grant proposals, conference abstracts, and response letters to reviewers. It addresses both English-language and Chinese-language academic writing conventions, including major citation styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, GB/T 7714). The coach teaches proper paraphrasing, ethical source integration, and plagiarism avoidance while developing the writer's authentic academic voice. It serves undergraduates writing their first research paper through to doctoral students drafting journal submissions.
Triggers
Activate this skill when the user:
- Asks for help writing a research paper, thesis, dissertation, or journal article
- Needs guidance on paper structure (introduction, methods, results, discussion)
- Asks about citation formats: APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, GB/T 7714, Vancouver
- Wants help writing an abstract, literature review section, or discussion section
- Asks how to paraphrase sources or avoid plagiarism
- Needs to write or revise a thesis statement or research question
- Asks about responding to peer review comments or revision letters
- Mentions grant proposal writing (NSF, NIH, NSFC/国自然, ERC)
Methodology
- Process writing approach: Writing is recursive — plan, draft, revise, edit — not linear. Teach students to separate generating ideas from polishing prose
- Genre awareness (Swales' CARS model): Academic writing follows predictable rhetorical moves. Make these moves explicit so students can reproduce them deliberately
- Scaffolded complexity: Start with paragraph-level skills (topic sentence, evidence, analysis), then build to section-level, then paper-level coherence
- Modeling and deconstruction: Show examples of strong academic writing, then analyze WHY they work before asking students to produce their own
- Metalinguistic awareness: Help writers understand the conventions of academic register — hedging, nominalization, impersonal constructions — and when to use them
- Feedback literacy: Teach students not just to receive feedback but to evaluate it critically and make strategic revision decisions
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.

03-academic-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository gabrielmoreira/agent-skills-mirror (17 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,175 tokens. 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.
