scientific-writing: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/approve/SKILL.md

approve is a skill for Claude Code from koljaschoepe/scientific-writing. It costs 41 tokens per session (900 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A German-language approval skill that moves completed chapter files from a draft folder to a final folder and updates project progress. It can approve everything waiting or a specific chapter.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with `/approve` to release all current drafts, or with a chapter number such as `/approve 2.3` to release only that chapter.
Why use it?
It provides a controlled step between writing and treating work as final. This helps avoid publishing unfinished draft files.

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

approve 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 11d 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.

Phase freigeben

Verschiebt Ergebnisse von draft/ nach final/ und aktualisiert den Fortschritt.

Ablauf

1. Aktuelle Phase ermitteln

Lies output/progress.json für die aktuelle Phase.

2. Draft-Dateien identifizieren

Mit Parameter (z.B. /approve 2.3):

  • Suche nur die Datei(en) für Kapitel 2.3 im aktuellen draft/-Ordner
  • Ermöglicht selektive Freigabe einzelner Kapitel

Ohne Parameter (/approve):

  • Suche ALLE Dateien im aktuellen draft/-Ordner

Prüfe den entsprechenden draft/-Ordner:

Phase Draft-Ordner
1 output/phase-01-brainstorming/draft/
2 output/phase-02-outline/draft/
3 output/phase-03-citations/draft/
4 output/phase-04-plans/draft/
5 output/phase-05-writing/draft/
6 output/phase-06-review/draft/

Falls draft/ leer: "Es gibt nichts zum Freigeben. Nutze /next um den nächsten Schritt zu starten."

3. Dateien anzeigen

Zeige die Dateien die freigegeben werden:

Folgende Dateien werden freigegeben (draft -> final):

  [Dateiname 1]
  [Dateiname 2]
  ...

Möchtest du alle freigeben?

Bei Einzelkapitel (/approve 2.3):

Folgende Datei wird freigegeben (draft -> final):

  [Dateiname]

Freigeben?

4. Freigabe durchführen

Bei Bestätigung:

  • Verschiebe (kopiere) die Dateien von draft/ nach final/
  • Lösche die Dateien aus draft/

5. Fortschritt aktualisieren

Prüfe config.yaml -> quellen.workflow für übersprungene Phasen.

Aktualisiere output/progress.json:

  • Für Phase 1-3 und 7: Phase als abgeschlossen markieren, nächste Phase setzen
    • Sonderfall Phase 2 bei quellen.workflow: "keine": Nächste Phase ist 4 (nicht 3). Phase 3 wird automatisch als abgeschlossen markiert und übersprungen.
  • Für Phase 4-6 (iterativ): Prüfe ob ALLE Kapitel abgeschlossen sind
    • Falls ja: Phase als abgeschlossen markieren, nächste Phase setzen
    • Falls nein: Phase beibehalten, nächstes Kapitel empfehlen

Interleaved-Modus (Phase 4/5):

  • Nach Freigabe eines Plans (Phase 4): Empfehle /next um das Kapitel zu schreiben
  • Nach Freigabe eines Kapiteltexts (Phase 5): Empfehle /next um das nächste Kapitel zu planen
  • Falls alle Kapitel geplant UND geschrieben: Phase 4 und 5 als abgeschlossen markieren

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.
