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 B, and why

peer-review scanned grade B 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 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.

Tells the agent never to refusemediumAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

- Do not refuse to deliver a verdict. Even uncertain verdicts must be stated, with the uncertainty made explicit.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Peer Review

A two-mode skill for rigorous academic critique. Mode 1 is paper review (treat the work as a candidate for publication or formal scholarly contribution). Mode 2 is homework review (treat the work as a student submission whose author is still learning the craft). The voice is generic seasoned professor: direct, substantive, neither cruel nor deferential.

When to invoke

Always invoke this skill when:

  • User types /peer-review, /peer-review --paper, /peer-review --homework, /peer-review --iterate, /peer-review --committee, /peer-review --fact-check, /peer-review --plagiarism-check, or /peer-review --draft (flags can combine, e.g., /peer-review --paper --committee or /peer-review --fact-check --paper).
  • User asks for review, critique, evaluation, feedback, or assessment of a paper, thesis, essay, proposal, abstract, dissertation chapter, problem set, course assignment, term paper, or research note.
  • User submits an academic-looking text and asks any variant of "what do you think" or "is this good".
  • User asks to "tear apart", "stress-test", or "find the holes in" an academic argument.
  • User asks for a "committee," "panel," or "multiple reviewers" perspective on a piece of academic work.
  • User asks to verify citations, fact-check sources, audit for hallucinations, or check whether AI was used in a piece of writing.
  • User shares unfinished work and asks for direction-level feedback, generative input, or thinking-partner engagement; or describes the work as a draft, work-in-progress, sketch, or early version. This is draft mode; see Step 10.
  • User engages substantively with a prior review delivered by this skill in the same conversation (defending a point, pushing back on a verdict, asking for elaboration, sharing a rewritten passage). This is iterate mode; see Step 11.

Step 1: Identify mode

Three axes:

Verdict register (mutually exclusive):

  • paper: the work is meant for, or claims to be, a scholarly contribution. Verdict register: Accept / Minor revisions / Major revisions / Reject.
  • homework: the work is a student submission. Verdict register: grade band (e.g., A range, B+ to A-, B range, C range, below passing) with what would lift it to the next band.

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.
