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 | $0.00085 | $0.03138 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01569 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00628 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00314 |
Grade B, and why
protocolsio-integration scanned grade B with 2 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 9d 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.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

100% identical to protocolsio-integration — 3 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.

Protocols.io Integration
Overview
Protocols.io is a comprehensive platform for developing, sharing, and managing scientific protocols. This skill provides complete integration with the protocols.io API v3, enabling programmatic access to protocols, workspaces, discussions, file management, and collaboration features.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when working with protocols.io in any of the following scenarios:
- Protocol Discovery: Searching for existing protocols by keywords, DOI, or category
- Protocol Management: Creating, updating, or publishing scientific protocols
- Step Management: Adding, editing, or organizing protocol steps and procedures
- Collaborative Development: Working with team members on shared protocols
- Workspace Organization: Managing lab or institutional protocol repositories
- Discussion & Feedback: Adding or responding to protocol comments
- File Management: Uploading data files, images, or documents to protocols
- Experiment Tracking: Documenting protocol executions and results
- Data Export: Backing up or migrating protocol collections
- Integration Projects: Building tools that interact with protocols.io
Core Capabilities
This skill provides comprehensive guidance across five major capability areas:
1. Authentication & Access
Manage API authentication using access tokens and OAuth flows. Includes both client access tokens (for personal content) and OAuth tokens (for multi-user applications).
Key operations:
- Generate authorization links for OAuth flow
- Exchange authorization codes for access tokens
- Refresh expired tokens
- Manage rate limits and permissions
Reference: Read references/authentication.md for detailed authentication procedures, OAuth implementation, and security best practices.
2. Protocol Operations
Complete protocol lifecycle management from creation to publication.
Key operations:
- Search and discover protocols by keywords, filters, or DOI
- Retrieve detailed protocol information with all steps
- Create new protocols with metadata and tags
- Update protocol information and settings
- Manage protocol steps (create, update, delete, reorder)
- Handle protocol materials and reagents
- Publish protocols with DOI issuance
- Bookmark protocols for quick access
- Generate protocol PDFs
What ships with it
6 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.
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.

protocolsio-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository LeonChaoX/qinyan-academic-skills (884 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 3,138 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). It is 100% identical to protocolsio-integration, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
