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 | $0.00028 | $0.01605 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00803 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00321 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00161 |
Grade A, and why
paper-polish-workflow 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Purpose
This Skill provides a systematic, top-down workflow for polishing academic papers. It works from structure to logic to expression, with user confirmation at each decision point. Expression options are drawn from reference-driven academic patterns rather than ad hoc rewrites, ensuring professional and consistent output suitable for journal submission.
Trigger
Activates when the user asks to:
- Polish, revise, or improve an academic paper section by section
- 润色、精修、逐步改进学术论文
Example invocations:
- "Polish my paper section by section" / "润色论文"
- "Help me revise my introduction step by step" / "精修论文"
- "Guide me through polishing this draft" / "帮我逐步润色这篇论文"
Modes
| Mode | Default | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
interactive |
Yes | Full 4-step flow with user confirmation at each decision point |
guided |
Multi-pass with confirmation at key checkpoints only | |
direct |
Single-pass polish using defaults; skip AskUserQuestion | |
batch |
Same operation applied across multiple sections sequentially |
Default mode: interactive
Mode inference: "quickly" or "just fix" switches to direct. "step by step" or "逐步" confirms interactive (already default).

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.

paper-polish-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository Lylll9436/Paper-Polish-Workflow-skill (386 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,605 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
