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 | $0.00000 | $0.00896 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00448 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00179 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
academic-polish 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Academic Paper Polish
Transform rough drafts into publication-ready manuscripts following Nature, Science, and top-tier journal conventions. Supports both English and Chinese academic writing.
Description
This skill provides systematic guidance for polishing academic manuscripts. It covers abstract refinement, logical flow restructuring, academic tone calibration, and formatting compliance. Designed for researchers submitting to high-impact journals (IF > 5) who need their writing to meet rigorous editorial standards.
When to Use
- Polishing a research paper draft before submission
- Refining abstracts for conference proceedings or journal submissions
- Improving academic English for non-native speakers
- Restructuring a manuscript for better logical flow
- Preparing cover letters or response-to-reviewer documents
- Translating Chinese drafts into publication-quality English
Instructions
1. Analyze the Manuscript
Read the full text first. Identify:
- Target journal and its style requirements
- Current stage: rough draft, revision, or final polish
- Main weaknesses: grammar, logic, brevity, terminology, or all
2. Polish in This Order
Title
- Maximize information density (avoid filler words)
- Include key finding or method if space permits
- Keep under 15 words for most journals; under 10 for Nature/Science
Abstract
- Strictly follow structured format if required (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion)
- Lead with the gap/problem, not general background
- End with specific impact, not vague significance
- Target 150-250 words depending on journal
Introduction
- Funnel structure: broad context → specific gap → your contribution
- Cite primary literature, not reviews, for specific claims
- State the hypothesis or research question explicitly
- Last paragraph should outline the paper's structure
Results
- Lead each paragraph with a finding, not a procedure
- Use active voice for your actions, passive for methods
- Present quantitative results with appropriate precision (significant figures)
- Reference figures/tables strategically, not redundantly
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.

academic-polish is a skill published in the GitHub repository Lord1Egypt/awesome-skill-forge (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 896 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
