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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00019	$0.00581
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00232
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00116
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00058

Security

Grade A, and why

aminer-search 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/search_tool.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

--page: Page number (Default: 0).
--size: Number of results (Default: 10).

2. Search for Scholars

To search for a scholar by name and optional organization.

Command:

python .agent/skills/aminer-search/scripts/search_tool.py scholar --name "Scholar Name" --org "Univ Name"

Parameters:

--name: Name of the scholar (Required).
--org: Organization name (Optional).
--offset: Pagination offset (Default: 0).

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.
