Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

ml-paper-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 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.

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 — 1,123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ML Paper Writing for Top AI Conferences

Expert-level guidance for writing publication-ready papers targeting NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, and COLM. This skill combines writing philosophy from top researchers (Nanda, Farquhar, Karpathy, Lipton, Steinhardt) with practical tools: LaTeX templates, citation verification APIs, and conference checklists.

Default operating order

Use this skill in the following order unless the task is unusually narrow:

  1. lock the operating mode from references/OPERATING-MODES.md,
  2. understand the repo or draft context,
  3. use references/citation-workflow.md as the canonical citation authority,
  4. load venue- or template-specific references only after the main writing path is clear.

Google Scholar may still help with manual discovery, but it is not the canonical verification authority in this skill. Default verification should use programmatic sources such as Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and arXiv.

Claim ledger gate

Before a project plan, experiment note, or literature summary becomes manuscript prose:

  • identify the Claim Candidate or Evidence Record that supports the sentence,
  • preserve allowed wording and forbidden stronger wording,
  • keep project plans as hypotheses unless experiment artifacts or verified papers support them,
  • do not turn related-work motivation into evidence for the paper's own result,
  • mark unsupported claims as [CLAIM NEEDS EVIDENCE] instead of polishing them.

If the repo context is clear enough for a first draft, still apply this gate before stating contributions, results, related-work contrasts, or rebuttal-facing claims.

Core Philosophy: Collaborative Writing

Paper writing is collaborative, but Claude should be proactive in delivering drafts.

The typical workflow starts with a research repository containing code, results, and experimental artifacts. Claude's role is to:

  1. Understand the project by exploring the repo, results, and existing documentation
  2. Deliver a complete first draft when confident about the contribution
  3. Search literature using web search and APIs to find relevant citations
  4. Refine through feedback cycles when the scientist provides input
  5. Ask for clarification only when genuinely uncertain about key decisions
