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 | $0.00102 | $0.01416 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.00708 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00283 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00142 |
Grade A, and why
phd-tech-paper-template 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tech Paper Template
Overview
Before drafting any prose, a technical paper needs a full logical skeleton: the research background, the specific limitations of prior work, the key idea or research goal, the technical challenges that prevent a naive solution, the methodology modules that address each challenge, and the contributions that the paper will claim. This skill fills in that skeleton via a standardised thinking-template table, positions the paper type, and runs four self-consistency checks on the logic chain.
The output is a filled-in thinking template plus a consistency report. It is suitable for advisor-student brainstorming sessions, weekly progress meetings, and the final planning step before writing begins. It does not draft Introduction prose (use phd-intro-drafter for that); it operates at the logical-skeleton layer.
When to use this skill
- Early brainstorming of a paper project.
- Weekly progress meeting with an advisor or collaborator.
- Pre-drafting planning after
phd-idea-evaluatorreturns Strong Accept. - The paper's logic chain feels incoherent and needs an audit.
- The user asks for 'paper skeleton', 'paper logic chain', 'thinking template', or 'paper-structure planning'.
- The user is unsure whether their paper is Technique or New Problem/Setting.
When NOT to use this skill
- The paper is a benchmark paper. Use
phd-benchmark-paper-template. - The user needs an Introduction-specific paragraph outline. Use
phd-intro-drafter(typically run this skill first, thenphd-intro-drafter). - The user has a written draft and wants review feedback. Use
phd-pre-submission-reviewer. - The idea itself is not yet vetted. Use
phd-idea-evaluatorfirst.
Core procedure
Step 1: Paper-type positioning
See: references/paper-types.md for the positioning criteria and worked examples.
Decide Technique versus New Problem/Setting. In Technique, the Key Idea carries the narrative and Our Goal is a short bridge. In New Problem/Setting, Our Goal is the contribution and the Key Idea justifies feasibility.
What ships with it
5 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.

phd-tech-paper-template is a skill published in the GitHub repository Immortalqx/my_codex_skills (52 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 1,416 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
