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.

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 | $0.00156 | $0.05548 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00078 | $0.02774 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00031 | $0.01110 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00555 |
Grade C, and why
paper-lookup scanned grade C with 2 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 6d 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
compatibility: Needs network access and curl. The bundled scripts require Python 3.11+ and use only the standard library. No credentials are required; NCBI_API_KEY, S2_API_KEY, CORE_API_KEY, and OPENALEX_API_KEY raise ra The source is not reproduced here
A licence we could not identify
The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.
What ships with it
17 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

paper-lookup is a skill published in the GitHub repository halflifezyf2680/Skill-Shelf (4 stars, last pushed 6d ago), with no licence file. It adds 156 tokens to every session and 5,548 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
