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 | $0.00037 | $0.01408 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00563 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00282 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00141 |
Grade A, and why
scientific-writing 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 1mo 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.

Scientific Writing
Part of Agent Skills™ by googleadsagent.ai™
Description
Scientific Writing guides the production of research papers, abstracts, grant proposals, and supplementary materials with proper citation management, LaTeX formatting, and journal-specific template compliance. The agent produces manuscript sections that adhere to the conventions of scientific discourse: precise language, logical argument structure, and claims supported by evidence.
Scientific writing is not creative writing. Every sentence serves a function: establishing context, presenting evidence, drawing conclusions, or acknowledging limitations. This skill enforces the IMRaD structure (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion), ensures citations follow the target journal's style, and maintains the passive-to-active voice balance expected by modern journals.
The skill handles the mechanical aspects of manuscript preparation: BibTeX citation management, LaTeX formatting for equations and figures, table generation with proper statistical notation, and compliance with journal submission requirements (word limits, figure formats, reference styles). These mechanical tasks consume disproportionate researcher time and are ideally suited to agent automation.
Use When
- Writing or editing research manuscript sections
- Formatting papers in LaTeX for specific journals
- Managing citations and generating bibliographies
- Writing abstracts within word count constraints
- Preparing supplementary materials and appendices
- Converting between citation styles (APA, IEEE, Nature)

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.

scientific-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository itallstartedwithaidea/agent-skills (44 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,408 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
