law-bootstrap

law-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from li-ch/law-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (812 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup tool for starting an academic paper repository, which is a project folder containing a paper's files and instructions. It supports the NSDI, SIGCOMM, APNet, and arXiv venues and asks for the paper name, venue, and year.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the initial structure for a paper submission and apply the venue-specific document setup.
Why use it?
It avoids manually assembling the required folders, formatting template, version control, and agent instructions for a new paper.

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

law-bootstrap 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/new-paper.bat, scripts/new-paper.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

LAW Bootstrap

Create a new academic paper repository from scratch. This skill initializes the directory structure, copies venue-specific templates, sets up git, and generates AGENTS.md with the paper's metadata.

Venue template mapping

Read ~/.common-law/paper-style/venue-map.md for the authoritative mapping of venues to document classes, style files, bib styles, page limits, and anonymization requirements.

Supported venues: nsdi, sigcomm, apnet, arxiv.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather parameters interactively

Ask the user for each parameter. Do not proceed until all required parameters are provided and confirmed. Do not create anything if any parameter is unclear.

Required:

  • Paper name (short lowercase identifier, e.g., swiftcache)
  • Venue (nsdi, sigcomm, apnet, or arxiv)
  • Year (e.g., 2027)

Optional:

  • Cycle (spring, fall, cycle-2, etc.) — for venues with multiple deadlines

If the user provides all parameters in one message (e.g., "create a new paper called swiftcache for NSDI 2027 spring"), extract them and confirm before proceeding.

Step 2: Validate

  • Check that the venue is in the venue-map
  • Check that the target directory does not already exist
  • If it exists, warn and ask for confirmation

Step 3: Create the paper

Run scripts/new-paper.sh with the gathered parameters:

bash scripts/new-paper.sh --name <name> --venue <venue> --year <year> [--cycle <cycle>]

The script:

  1. Creates the directory {name}-{venue}-{year}[-{cycle}]
  2. Copies assets/template/ into the new directory
  3. Copies the appropriate venue template files from assets/venue-templates/{venue}/ into the paper root
  4. Copies ~/.common-law/paper-style/CLAUDE.md into the paper root
  5. Appends the paper narrative placeholder to CLAUDE.md
  6. Copies ~/.common-law/bib/refs.bib into the paper root as refs.bib
  7. Initializes git with .gitignore and creates an initial commit
  8. Writes AGENTS.md with venue and page limit filled in, placeholders for human-filled fields

Files

What ships with it

15 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.
