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 | $0.00068 | $0.05470 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.02735 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.01094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00547 |
Grade A, and why
academic-plotting 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 480 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Academic Plotting for ML Papers
Generate publication-quality figures for ML/AI conference papers. Two distinct workflows:
- Diagram figures (architecture, system design, workflows, pipelines) — AI image generation via Gemini
- Data figures (line charts, bar charts, scatter plots, heatmaps, ablations) — matplotlib/seaborn
When to Use Which Workflow
| Figure Type | Tool | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture / system diagram | Gemini (Workflow 1) | Complex spatial layouts with boxes, arrows, labels |
| Workflow / pipeline / lifecycle | Gemini (Workflow 1) | Multi-step processes with connections |
| Bar chart, line plot, scatter | matplotlib (Workflow 2) | Precise numerical data, reproducible |
| Heatmap, confusion matrix | matplotlib/seaborn (Workflow 2) | Structured grid data |
| Ablation table as chart | matplotlib (Workflow 2) | Grouped bars or line comparisons |
| Pie / donut chart | matplotlib (Workflow 2) | Proportional data (use sparingly in ML papers) |
| Training curves | matplotlib (Workflow 2) | Loss/accuracy over steps/epochs |
Rule of thumb: If the figure has numerical axes, use matplotlib. If the figure has boxes and arrows, use Gemini.
Step 0: Context Analysis & Extraction
The user will typically provide one of these inputs — not a ready-made specification:
| Input Type | Example | What to Extract |
|---|---|---|
| Full paper / section draft | "Here's our method section..." | System components, their relationships, data flow |
| Description paragraph | "Our system has three layers that..." | Key entities, hierarchy, connections |
| Raw results / data table | "MMLU: 85.2, HumanEval: 72.1..." | Metrics, methods, comparison structure |
| CSV / JSON data | Experiment log files | Variables, trends, grouping dimensions |
| Vague request | "Make a figure for the overview" | Read surrounding paper context to infer content |
Extraction Workflow
For diagrams (research context → architecture figure):
What ships with it
3 files 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.

academic-plotting is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenRaiser/NanoResearch (1,363 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 5,470 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
