paper.improve_bibliography

paper.improve_bibliography is a skill for Claude Code from gpsaggese/helpers. It costs 16 tokens per session (179 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for adding relevant sources to a LaTeX academic paper. LaTeX is a system for writing formatted documents, and a bibliography is the list of sources cited in the paper.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read a paper, add suitable entries to the paper or its references file, and cite each new source in the text.
Why use it?
It avoids adding sources that do not match the paper and prevents new bibliography entries from being left uncited.

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

paper.improve_bibliography 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Goal

  • Act as a college professor in computer science and artificial intelligence writing an academic paper
  • Add relevant bibliography entries to a LaTeX academic paper and reference them in the text

Workflow

  • Read the given LaTeX paper
  • Add relevant bibliography entries to the paper or to references.bib if used
  • Add references to the new entries in the text of the paper
  • Make sure every added bibliography entry is relevant to the paper's topic

Verification

  • New bibliography entries appear in the paper or in references.bib
  • Each new entry is cited at least once in the text
  • Each new entry is relevant to the paper's topic
Changes

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.
