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.

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 | $0.00077 | $0.02818 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.01409 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00564 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00282 |
Grade A, and why
publication-chart-skill 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 7d 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.

Publication Chart Skill
Goal
Use this skill to turn research results into publication-grade figures and tables with an end-to-end workflow.
Primary production stack:
pubfigfor figurespubtabfor publication tables
This skill covers the full delivery chain:
- understand the scientific communication goal,
- choose the right artifact type,
- map the task to
pubfig,pubtab, or both, - generate concrete runnable instructions,
- export paper-ready assets,
- run publication QA,
- propose targeted revisions.
Use this skill when
Trigger this skill for requests like:
- “make a publication-quality figure”
- “choose the right chart for these results”
- “turn these results into a paper-ready figure”
- “make a benchmark / ablation / calibration / forest / heatmap / scatter / line / bar figure”
- “make a benchmark / appendix / ablation table from Excel”
- “convert this Excel table into publication-ready LaTeX”
- “prepare one summary figure plus one companion table for the results section”
- “review and improve this scientific figure/table”
- “I already have a weak chart / screenshot / draft plot — make it publication-ready”
- “export panels for a paper figure”
Do not use this skill for
Do not use this skill when the task is mainly:
- manuscript prose writing,
- statistical testing without artifact design,
- raw exploratory analysis with no publication deliverable,
- Figma-first layout work before the figure/table content is solid.
For simple composite assembly after the figure content is already strong, use the optional secondary workflow in references/composite-assembly.md.
Primary contract
Inputs
Expect some combination of:
- the scientific communication goal,
- available data shape,
- venue or style constraints,
- whether the artifact is a figure, table, or mixed deliverable,
- optional existing assets such as code, spreadsheets,
.tex, screenshots, or draft plots, - whether the user needs a first draft, a publication-ready artifact, or a review/revision pass.

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.

publication-chart-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar (5,419 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,818 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
