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 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.03574 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01787 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00715 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00357 |
Grade A, and why
figure-table-checker 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 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.
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 — 337 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Figure and Table Checker
Figures and tables are the most scrutinised elements of any research paper. Reviewers spot non-compliant formatting immediately. This skill covers universal standards, discipline-specific requirements, and the design principles that separate publication-ready visuals from rejected manuscripts.
Figure Compliance Checklist (Universal)
Apply to every figure before submission:
- Numbered sequentially in order of first mention in text (Figure 1, Figure 2…)
- Caption below the figure — always below, in complete sentence form
- Caption is self-contained — reader can understand the figure without reading the paper
- All axes labelled with units in parentheses: Time (s), Concentration (mM)
- Legend included where multiple data series are plotted
- Error bars defined — type stated explicitly in caption or methods (SD, SEM, or 95% CI)
- Statistical significance markers explained (e.g., *** p < .001, ** p < .01, * p < .05)
- Sample sizes visible — either in legend, caption, or on the figure itself
- Font size legible at final print size — minimum 8pt for labels, 10pt preferred
- Colorblind-accessible palette used (see colour section below)
- Resolution sufficient — 300 dpi minimum for publication (600 dpi for line art)
- File format appropriate — check journal requirements (TIFF, EPS, PDF, PNG)
- No missing data without explanation
- Axes start at zero for bar charts (unless scale is justified and stated)
- Individual data points shown for small samples (n < 20) alongside summary statistics
Table Compliance Checklist (Universal)
Apply to every table before submission:
- Numbered sequentially (Table 1, Table 2…)
- Title/caption above the table — always above, in noun-phrase form (not a sentence)
- Column headers clear — units in header, not repeated in each cell
- No vertical lines — professional tables use horizontal rules only (booktabs principle)
- Minimal horizontal lines — top, below header, and bottom only (APA style)
- Consistent decimal places within each column
- Alignment appropriate — numbers right-aligned or decimal-aligned; text left-aligned
- Note(s) section present if abbreviations used or statistical thresholds need explanation
- Missing data represented consistently (em dash —, or stated as N/A with note)
- No duplication of data already presented in a figure (unless summary comparison needed)
- Spanning rows/columns used appropriately, not for decoration
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.

figure-table-checker is a skill published in the GitHub repository muhammad1438/academic-writer-skills (6 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,574 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.

thesis-control
Use when AI-assisted thesis or manuscript edits risk claim drift, scope creep, loss of intended use, experiment-role promotion, or repeated revisions that fail to converge; provides author-intent control, lightweight or strict contracts, drift audits, revision escalation, and human gates.
manuscript-reframe
Reframe report-like academic drafts into paper-form scientific arguments while preserving or explicitly renegotiating author intent; requires an approved old-versus-proposed spine, evidence and argument baselines, analysis-role control, and post-edit drift review.
argument-governance
Build and audit the manuscript or research-project argument system across intended use, gaps, claims, data, results, experiment roles, contributions, innovation evidence, limitations, and contribution focus. Use when a paper, thesis chapter, review article, or research project needs an explicit argument map…
audit
Check thesis chapters for consistency before submission — contradictory numbers, terminology drift, and broken cross-references.
self-review
Review the user's own manuscript, paper, thesis chapter, rebuttal, or release packet with clean-room anti-contamination controls and, when needed, an unfamiliar-reader comprehension gate. Use for internal review, readiness checks, reviewer simulation, or claim-evidence self-audit where prior chat memory and unstated…
evidence-review
Build evidence-controlled literature reviews and gap maps with source-status labels, claim registers, citation-role plans, traceability tables, and overclaim audits. Use when drafting or auditing review papers, thesis literature reviews, scoping reviews, or evidence syntheses where adjacent-domain evidence, candidate…
