Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00115 | $0.03020 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00057 | $0.01510 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00604 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00302 |
Grade B, and why
setup 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 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
- **Settings patched:** `~/.claude/settings.json` (backed up as `.bak-wizard`, bypassed silently if not running under Claude). How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
setup
Quick definitions (T4-5; full glossary at skills/_glossary.md):
- A plugin is the code bundle this setup is configuring — a downloadable package shipped with skills, pipeline scripts, and templates that the agentic environment uses for academic-research work.
- A skill is a prose rule-book the agent loads when your request matches its trigger phrases. Skills tell the agent how to approach a task; they don't run code on their own.
setup,zotero- operations,systematic-review, etc. are all skills in this plugin.- An MCP server is a small helper program the agent talks to in the background. Example: the Zotero MCP server lets the agent read and update your Zotero library directly. The wizard checks five MCP servers (Zotero, Scopus, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, paper-search) and offers to register the missing ones.
Setup runs as a terminal wizard the user executes. The agent's role is only to give them the command and confirm when they are done. Do not run any tool calls — no Bash, no Read, no probes. All the information needed is already known:
- Wizard path:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/setup/wizard.py(or project-relative./scripts/setup/wizard.pyif not running inside Claude Code or Antigravity) — The active plugin version's absolute path (or project-relative fallback if${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}is not defined) is used, so the user has a concrete path to run. - Config written to:
~/.config/academic-research/config.toml(mode 0600). - Settings patched:
~/.claude/settings.json(backed up as.bak-wizard, bypassed silently if not running under Claude). - Antigravity MCP config: if Antigravity (
agy) is detected, the same MCP servers are also registered into~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json(backed up as.bak-wizard). Permission rules are not patched for Antigravity — only Claude Code's~/.claude/settings.jsonis. - Wizard is idempotent: re-running updates or adds keys without clobbering existing ones.
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.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository mronkko/claude-academic-research (23 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 3,020 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
