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 | $0.00087 | $0.07121 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00035 | $0.02848 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.01424 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00712 |
Grade A, and why
scientific-writing 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to scientific-writing — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Scientific Writing
Overview
This is the core skill for the deep research and writing tool—combining AI-driven deep research with well-formatted written outputs. Every document produced is backed by comprehensive literature search and verified citations through the research-lookup skill.
Scientific writing is a process for communicating research with precision and clarity. Write manuscripts using IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, and reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA). Apply this skill for research papers and journal submissions.
Critical Principle: Always write in full paragraphs with flowing prose. Never submit bullet points in the final manuscript. Use a two-stage process: first create section outlines with key points using research-lookup, then convert those outlines into complete paragraphs.
When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Writing or revising any section of a scientific manuscript (abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion)
- Structuring a research paper using IMRAD or other standard formats
- Formatting citations and references in specific styles (APA, AMA, Vancouver, Chicago, IEEE)
- Creating, formatting, or improving figures, tables, and data visualizations
- Applying study-specific reporting guidelines (CONSORT for trials, STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for reviews)
- Drafting abstracts that meet journal requirements (structured or unstructured)
- Preparing manuscripts for submission to specific journals
- Improving writing clarity, conciseness, and precision
- Ensuring proper use of field-specific terminology and nomenclature
- Addressing reviewer comments and revising manuscripts
Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics
⚠️ MANDATORY: Every scientific paper MUST include a graphical abstract plus 1-2 additional AI-generated figures using the scientific-schematics skill.
This is not optional. Scientific papers without visual elements are incomplete. Before finalizing any document:
- ALWAYS generate a graphical abstract as the first visual element
- Generate at minimum ONE additional schematic or diagram using scientific-schematics
- Prefer 3-4 total figures for comprehensive papers (graphical abstract + methods flowchart + results visualization + conceptual diagram)

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.

scientific-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository Lord1Egypt/scientific-agent-toolkit (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 7,121 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to scientific-writing, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.

Read-only audit of one persisted skore report: audit/NN .py (jupytext percent), 1:1 with experiments/ and journal/. Do not execute it. Run materialize.py once. Never call skore.evaluate or project.put. TRIGGER when a completed run needs an audit, the user asks to audit, show, or re-audit an experiment, a re-run…
model-ml-pipeline
Deterministic entry point for modeling. On a first landing, write the locked baseline design note and ask for approval. Later landings offer only the choices the workspace justifies (an EDA proposal, Backlog, discussion). A missing modeling lock loads frame-ml-problem and stops. After a design is approved, coordinate…
evaluate-ml-pipeline
Evaluate one learner with skore.evaluate. The splitter and any non-default score are already on the DataOp from build-ml-pipeline. This skill writes the call without splitter=, persists the report, and records the locator. When the locked split is the training table and test table that shipped with the data, fit on…
