scientific-writing: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/status/SKILL.md

status is a skill for Claude Code from koljaschoepe/scientific-writing. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,339 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A progress-reporting skill for a thesis project. It reads project status, settings, drafts, final files, sources, and word counts, then checks whether the recorded progress matches the files on disk.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone asks for the thesis status or enters /status. It reports completed phases, missing expected files, source counts, and the final writing word count.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually inspect many thesis files to know what is finished. It also flags when the status record and actual files disagree.

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

status 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 10d 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.

Ablauf

1. Daten sammeln

Lies folgende Dateien:

  • output/progress.json -- Aktuelle Phase und abgeschlossene Phasen
  • config.yaml -- Projekttitel, Seitenumfang, Abgabedatum

Prüfe zusätzlich das Dateisystem:

  • Welche Dateien liegen in output/phase-*/draft/ und output/phase-*/final/?
  • Wie viele Quellen und Zitate sind in sources/literature.md?
  • Gibt es Dateien in output/phase-05-writing/final/? Falls ja: Zähle Wörter.

1b. Self-Healing (progress.json vs. Dateisystem)

Prüfe ob progress.json mit dem tatsächlichen Dateistand übereinstimmt:

Phase Abgeschlossen wenn Datei in final/
1 phase-01-brainstorming/final/brainstorming-result.md
2 phase-02-outline/final/outline.md
3 phase-03-citations/final/citation-mapping.md
4 Mindestens 1 Datei in phase-04-plans/final/
5 Mindestens 1 Datei in phase-05-writing/final/
6 Mindestens 1 Datei in phase-06-review/final/

Falls Diskrepanz gefunden:

  • Phase als abgeschlossen markiert aber Dateien fehlen: Warnung zeigen
  • Dateien vorhanden aber Phase nicht markiert: "Hinweis: progress.json scheint veraltet. Soll ich den Status an den Dateistand anpassen?"
  • Bei Bestätigung: progress.json korrigieren

2. Phase bestimmen

Phase Name Erklärung (Babysitter-Modus)
0 Nicht eingerichtet "Starte mit /setup um dein Projekt einzurichten."
1 Brainstorming "Hier entwickeln wir dein Thema und deine Forschungsfragen."
2 Gliederung "Jetzt entsteht die Struktur deiner Arbeit -- welche Kapitel, in welcher Reihenfolge."
3 Zitat-Zuordnung "Deine gesammelten Quellen werden den passenden Kapiteln zugeordnet." (Bei quellen.workflow "keine": "Phase 3: Übersprungen -- ohne Quellen konfiguriert")
4 Kapitel-Planung "Für jedes Kapitel wird ein detaillierter Bauplan erstellt."
5 Schreiben "Jetzt wird der wissenschaftliche Text geschrieben -- Kapitel für Kapitel."
6 Qualitätsprüfung "Sprache, Zitate und Argumentation werden systematisch geprüft."
7 Finalisierung "Die Arbeit wird in LaTeX gesetzt und als PDF kompiliert."

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.
