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-research 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 13d 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.

What it actually says

Academic Evidence Gates

Nested swiss-knife reference. This ships the writing safeguards, not a paper fetcher, API cookbook, citation-tracking pipeline, or LaTeX toolchain.

Before writing

  • For author–year citations, a References section, related work, or a literature review, read evidence-verification-gate.md. Build the verified literature matrix before drafting. Search results are leads, not citations; label preprints separately. Reduce scope, not verification.
  • For empirical methods or results, read anti-pattern-text-consistency-vs-data-correspondence.md. Re-open data and runner code and maintain a claim-to-evidence map. Reviewer agreement proves text consistency, not correspondence with the experiment.
  • Use current official publisher, repository, library, or bibliographic sources to verify provenance. Work only with authorized/open access; do not bypass paywalls, logins, CAPTCHAs, or bot blocks, or expose credentials. If access is unavailable, report that limit and ask for an authorized source or handoff. Never read, store or replay publisher cookies/credentials. A Zotero or institutional full-text handoff remains human-operated: do not automate its UI through AppleScript/Accessibility or bypass OS privacy controls, and do not silently substitute a shadow-library download. Preserve provenance and copy, rather than move, human-provided originals.
  • For source-derived teaching or HTML artifacts, read html-report for source limits and delivery checks.

The former bundled PDF-fetch scripts, API cards and pipeline recipes are retired. Do not invoke old installed copies as if they were supported shipped utilities.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
