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

paperzilla 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to paperzilla — 2 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Paperzilla

Use this skill when you want to chat with your agent about projects, recommendations, and canonical papers in Paperzilla.

What you can ask

  • "Give me the latest recommendations from project X."
  • "Open recommendation Y and explain why it matters."
  • "Fetch canonical paper Z as markdown and summarize it."
  • "Tell me how this paper is relevant to my research."
  • "Show me the feed for project X."
  • "Leave feedback on a recommendation."
  • "Export this paper, recommendation, or feed as JSON."

This is the core Paperzilla skill. It gives your agent direct access to Paperzilla data, but it does not impose a workflow or external delivery integration.

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.
