Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00143 | $0.02711 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00072 | $0.01355 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00542 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00271 |
Grade A, and why
paper-orchestra 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to paper-orchestra — 27 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 243 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
paper-orchestra (Orchestrator)
Top-level driver for the PaperOrchestra pipeline. Read this document and follow
the steps below. The detailed prompts and rules live in each sub-skill's
SKILL.md and references/ directories — you (the host agent) will load them
as you go.

What this skill produces
A complete submission package P = (paper.tex, paper.pdf) written into
workspace/final/, plus a full audit trail under workspace/ (outline,
figures, refs, drafts, refinement worklog, provenance snapshot).
Inputs (the (I, E, T, G, F) tuple from the paper)
The workspace MUST contain:
| File | Symbol | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
workspace/inputs/idea.md |
I |
yes | Idea Summary (Sparse or Dense variant — see references/io-contract.md) |
workspace/inputs/experimental_log.md |
E |
yes | Experimental Log: setup, raw numeric data, qualitative observations |
workspace/inputs/template.tex |
T |
yes | LaTeX template for the target conference (with \section{...} commands) |
workspace/inputs/conference_guidelines.md |
G |
yes | Formatting rules, page limit, mandatory sections |
workspace/inputs/figures/ |
F |
no | Optional pre-existing figures. If empty, the plotting agent generates everything. |
scripts/init_workspace.py will scaffold this layout. scripts/validate_inputs.py
will check it before the pipeline runs.
Pipeline (read references/pipeline.md for the full diagram)
Step 1: Outline ──▶ outline.json (1 LLM call)
Step 2: Plotting ─┐
├──▶ figures/*.png + captions.json (~20-30 calls)
Step 3: Lit Review ─┘ (~20-30 calls)
intro_relwork.tex + refs.bib
Step 4: Section Writing ──▶ drafts/paper.tex (1 LLM call)
Step 5: Content Refine ──▶ final/paper.tex + final/paper.pdf (~5-7 calls, ~3 iters)

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.

paper-orchestra is a skill published in the GitHub repository leonardodalinky/SciDER (88 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 143 tokens to every session and 2,711 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to paper-orchestra, differing in 27 lines, and is treated as a copy.
