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 | $0.00043 | $0.04072 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.02036 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00814 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00407 |
Grade A, and why
paper2reel 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 417 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
paper2reel - aligned artifact viewer
paper2reel builds a browsing layer over existing artifacts. It does
not replace or mutate paper2poster, ppt-master, paper2blog, or
paper2video outputs.
The key artifact is:
content_alignment.json
It maps the canonical section ids from paper2assets's assets/meta/sections.json to:
- poster DOM targets, usually
[data-section="<id>"]; - slide frame targets, usually one or more slide indexes;
- blog blocks rendered from the same paper2blog content used for final DOCX;
- video clips cut from the same final, Bottom-Bar-subtitled MP4 and timeline used for paper2video delivery.
This sidecar lets a wrapper UI switch between Poster / Slides / Blog and jump to the corresponding location without adding visible engineering tags to the deliverables themselves.
Viewer UX Contract
The user-facing viewer must preserve the original poster as the default screen.
When reel.html first opens, it should show only the poster itself:
no permanent wrapper bar, no tab strip, and no visible instructions outside the
poster. The wrapper controls are discoverable through keyboard shortcuts and
section interactions:
vtoggles the top section menu.htoggles keyboard shortcut help.atoggles the poster's existing audio controls.stoggles fullscreen.dtoggles the poster debug/hover controls.- double-clicking a poster section opens a large modal.
- clicking or double-clicking the poster title opens the full-paper modal.
The modal must use the section-media layout: video with baked Bottom Bar subtitles on the left, blog on the right, EN/中文 switching, slide thumbnails below the video, and a draggable splitter. Do not replace this with a Poster / Slides / Video / Blog tabbed viewer. A tabbed viewer is a regression because it drops the section-level interaction contract.
Video seekability is part of the contract, not a hosting detail. The modal's
video progress bar and slide thumbnails must actually seek playback. Serve and
test reels with the Range-capable paper2reel server below; do not use
python -m http.server as a passing preview or QA environment because it may
answer MP4 Range requests with 200 OK instead of 206 Partial Content.

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.

paper2reel is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/ResearchStudio (2,654 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 4,072 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
