Claude Scholar is a semi-automated research assistant for academic research and software development, supporting literature review, coding, experiments, reporting, writing, and project knowledge management. Computer science and AI researchers use it across the research workflow with several coding-agent platforms; the catalogue contains its skills, commands, agents, hooks, plugin, and instruction.
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: 4 findings, 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 →

Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
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 | $0.00064 | $0.02851 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00026 | $0.01140 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00570 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00285 |
Grade A, and why
git-workflow 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 1mo 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 — 478 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Git Workflow Standards
This document defines the project's Git usage standards, including commit message format, branch management strategy, workflows, merge strategies, and more. Following these standards improves collaboration efficiency, enables traceability, supports automation, and reduces conflicts.
Commit Message Standards
The project follows the Conventional Commits specification:
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<body>
<footer>
Type Reference
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
feat |
New feature | feat(user): add user export functionality |
fix |
Bug fix | fix(login): fix captcha not refreshing |
docs |
Documentation update | docs(api): update API documentation |
refactor |
Refactoring | refactor(utils): refactor utility functions |
perf |
Performance improvement | perf(list): optimize list performance |
test |
Test related | test(user): add unit tests |
chore |
Other changes | chore: update dependency versions |
Subject Rules
- Start with a verb: add, fix, update, remove, optimize
- No more than 50 characters
- No period at the end
For more detailed conventions and examples, see references/commit-conventions.md.
Branch Management Strategy
Branch Types
| Branch Type | Naming Convention | Description | Lifecycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| master | master |
Main branch, releasable state | Permanent |
| develop | develop |
Development branch, latest integrated code | Permanent |
| feature | feature/feature-name |
Feature branch | Delete after completion |
| bugfix | bugfix/issue-description |
Bug fix branch | Delete after fix |
| hotfix | hotfix/issue-description |
Emergency fix branch | Delete after fix |
| release | release/version-number |
Release branch | Delete after release |
Branch Naming Examples
feature/user-management # User management feature
feature/123-add-export # Issue-linked feature
bugfix/login-error # Login error fix
hotfix/security-vulnerability # Security vulnerability fix
release/v1.0.0 # Version release

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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 478 lines · 64 tokens per session scan A bf38f307d02a
git-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar (5,917 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 2,851 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
