paper2code

paper2code is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lyx2022518/sherlock-ai-plugin. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,279 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A tool that reads a research paper, such as a PDF or arXiv paper, and turns its described method into executable code. arXiv is an online archive where researchers share papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Replicating research results, implementing algorithms from papers, and reproducing research experiments in code.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of translating a paper’s algorithm into an implementation that can be run and tested.

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

paper2code scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
