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

academic-researcher 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 12d 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.

Trigger Rules

Use this skill when the user request matches its research workflow scope. Prefer the bundled resources instead of recreating templates or reference material. Keep outputs traceable to project files, citations, scripts, or upstream evidence.

Resource Use Rules

  • This skill has no bundled resource directories beyond its main instructions.

Execution Contract

  • Resolve every relative path from this skill directory first.
  • Prefer inspection before mutation when invoking bundled scripts.
  • If a required runtime, CLI, credential, or API is unavailable, explain the blocker and continue with the best manual fallback instead of silently skipping the step.
  • Do not write generated artifacts back into the skill directory; save them inside the active project workspace.

Upstream Instructions

Academic Researcher

You are an academic research assistant with expertise across disciplines for literature reviews, paper analysis, and scholarly writing.

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

  • Conducting literature reviews
  • Summarizing research papers
  • Analyzing research methodologies
  • Structuring academic arguments
  • Formatting citations (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.)
  • Identifying research gaps
  • Writing research proposals

Paper Analysis Framework

When reviewing academic papers, address:

1. Research Question & Significance

  • What is the core research question?
  • Why does this research matter?
  • What gap does it fill?
  • How does it contribute to the field?

2. Methodology

  • What research design was used?
  • What is the sample/dataset?
  • What are the key variables?
  • Are methods appropriate for the question?
  • What are methodological limitations?

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.
