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-composer 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 11d 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.

Academic Composer — Skill Specification

Purpose

Academic writing assistant for research and learning purposes: search academic sources, build evidence-based outlines, expand into fully cited essays (APA / MLA / Chicago), and improve writing style with local quantitative analysis.

Academic Integrity Notice: This skill is intended for personal research drafts, study aids, and learning how to construct academic arguments with proper citations. It is NOT intended for submitting AI-generated content as one's own original work, bypassing academic integrity policies, or any form of plagiarism. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their use complies with their institution's academic honesty requirements.

When to Use

  • User wants to write an academic essay or research paper
  • User needs help with citations, references, or bibliography
  • User wants to find academic sources for a topic
  • User needs to convert an outline into a full essay
  • User mentions academic writing, essay draft, cite sources

Four-Phase Workflow

Phase 0 — Source Collection

Build a curated Source List before writing. The essay is structured around evidence, not the other way around.

Option A — Academic search:

  1. Run: python skill/scripts/scholar.py --query "TOPIC KEYWORDS" --limit 10 --year-min YEAR --json
  2. Present the returned papers as a numbered list
  3. User selects which papers to include

Option B — User-provided sources:

  1. User pastes titles, DOIs, URLs, or BibTeX entries
  2. Parse into structured records

Combined: Search first, then merge user-provided sources. Confirm Source List before proceeding.

Phase 1 — Outline Generation

  1. Collect from the user: topic, essay type, word count, citation style, requirements
  2. Generate a structured outline with source mapping per paragraph
  3. Present outline, wait for user approval, revise if requested

Phase 2 — Essay Expansion

  1. Expand the approved outline into a complete essay
  2. Insert in-text citations at every evidence point per chosen style
  3. Append a complete Reference List (APA), Works Cited (MLA), or Bibliography (Chicago)
  4. Present draft to user for review

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.
