Norman-bury/research-writing-skill is an agent skill that turns academic paper writing into a tracked, reusable workflow with planning, drafting, reviews, figures, literature work, and LaTeX outputs. It is intended for undergraduate students, graduate students, and early-career researchers working on theses, coursework papers, or initial submissions. Its catalogue entries are the skills, instructions, plugin, and hook that implement the workflow across coding-agent platforms.
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 | $0.00022 | $0.01634 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00817 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00327 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00163 |
Grade A, and why
latex-output 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 13d 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 — 278 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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.
- 13d ago First seen · 278 lines · 22 tokens per session scan A 2019e045bf5c
latex-output is a skill published in the GitHub repository Norman-bury/research-writing-skill (3,195 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,634 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
