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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00107 | $0.08450 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00053 | $0.04225 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.01690 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00845 |
Grade A, and why
manuscript-typography 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 8d 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 — 709 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Manuscript Typography Audit
Pipeline position: Phase 2b (polish audit). Runs in parallel with
manuscript-provenance. Depends on: content settled after Phase 1 fixes.
See /manuscript-pipeline for full execution order.
Purpose
Audit a LaTeX manuscript for widely-accepted academic typographic conventions that directly affect readability and professional appearance. These are not venue-specific formatting rules — they are cross-venue norms from decades of academic publishing that experienced readers and reviewers notice.
A paper with solid content but poor typography signals inexperience. Reviewers form impressions from visual presentation before reading a single sentence.
Relationship to Other Skills
| Concern | manuscript-review | manuscript-typography (this) | arxiv-preflight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Table content | Data quality, significant figures (§12) | Design: booktabs, alignment, headers, caption placement | Format compliance |
| Figure content | Colorblind, axis labels, chartjunk (§12) | Design: font matching, backgrounds, subfigure style | Format/size compliance |
| Rendered output | Legibility, float proximity, page breaks (§23) | Layout: widows, column balance, spacing, float specifiers | N/A |
| Math notation | Notation consistency, operator formatting (§15) | Spacing, delimiter sizing, display vs inline choices | N/A |
| Cross-refs | Citation hygiene (§11) | Reference style consistency, non-breaking spaces | N/A |
| Typography | N/A | Dashes, quotes, units, micro-typography | N/A |
| Polish | N/A | TODOs, placeholders, metadata, bookmarks | N/A |
Rule: This skill audits design and typography. manuscript-review audits content and communication. arxiv-preflight audits submission compliance. No overlap — each reads different signals from the same document.
Workflow
1. Ingest
Read all .tex files (main + \input/\include targets). Identify:
- Document class and loaded packages
- Two-column vs single-column layout
- Target venue (if identifiable from class/template)
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

manuscript-typography is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mathews-Tom/armory (316 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 107 tokens to every session and 8,450 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
