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

phd-pre-submission-reviewer 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 12d 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.

Pre-Submission Reviewer

Overview

Three to five days before a submission deadline is the window where a careful external review pays off most. This skill takes a full paper or key sections and produces a structured review across five dimensions, each with severity-tagged findings and concrete rewrite suggestions. It enforces the mechanical rules from the writing-checklist section (no em-dashes, no banned AI-tone vocabulary, leading text per paragraph, topic-sentence discipline, citation-format uniformity) and surfaces the patterns that non-native English-speaking authors most commonly violate (articles, subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, which versus that, Chinglish phrasing).

The output is not a rewrite. It is a prioritised list of findings with severity tags; the author decides which to fix. CRITICAL items should block submission until addressed.

When to use this skill

  • Three to five days before a submission deadline.
  • The user asks to 'review this paper', 'audit before submission', 'check the draft', 'find issues', 'proofread'.
  • After a camera-ready revision, before sending the final version.
  • After any major rewrite (rebuttal responses, Section 3 overhaul).
  • When the user suspects AI-tone contamination in a section.

When NOT to use this skill

  • The paper is still being structured. Use phd-tech-paper-template, phd-intro-drafter, or phd-benchmark-paper-template first.
  • The user wants structural advice rather than review. Use the drafting skills instead.

Core procedure

Step 1: Dimension 1 Macro logic review

See: references/logic-and-structure.md for the Logic First rule, Self-contained rule, Leading Text rule, and Running Example rule.

Check:

  • Introduction flowchart is intact (Background, Limitations, Goal or Key Idea, Challenges, Methodology, Contributions).
  • Contributions map one-to-one with methodology modules and with section numbers.
  • Experiments validate the paper's main claims, not tangential ones.
  • Related Work covers the necessary prior art.
  • Running example is consistent across Introduction, Methodology, Experiments.
