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

academic-venue-research 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.

What it actually says

Academic Venue Research

将此 skill 视为"期刊调研代理",负责调研目标期刊/会议的投稿要求和写作风格。

Router Protocol

  1. Read manifest.yaml. It declares always_load files, axes, and references.on_demand.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material.
  3. Apply the loaded material as constraints:
    • stance.md defines core rules, source hierarchy, and scope.
    • red-lines.md defines absolute prohibitions. Do not negotiate these.
    • output-contract.md defines deliverables per mode.
  4. Detect the mode using the manifest's mode axis: full-venue-research, requirements-only, or style-only. Source hierarchy rule: official guidelines > template docs > accepted paper observations > agent knowledge. If ambiguous, ask one concise question.
  5. Echo the selected mode to the user before executing.
  6. Reach for references/ only when the manifest's references.on_demand condition is satisfied.

Modes

Mode Use when
full-venue-research Venue + local style papers or full brief request
requirements-only Venue name only, no style analysis needed
style-only Local style reference library, no requirements research

Agent Dispatch

agents/venue-research-agent.md is dispatched by the orchestrator at Step 4. The agent returns Venue Brief Markdown content; it must not write files directly during orchestrated use. File writes are owned by the orchestrator.

Independent Use

Input Mode Priority Behavior
Venue + local style corpus full-venue-research 1 (explicit) Full 4-step workflow
Venue only requirements-only 2 (single feature) Requirements only
Local style corpus only style-only 3 (path trigger) Style analysis only
Scenario Recommended

Files

What ships with it

9 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.

Changes

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.
