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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Agent Snooping · line 159 Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.
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 | $0.00025 | $0.06080 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.02432 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.01216 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00608 |
Grade A, and why
review-paper 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 1mo 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 — 223 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Installed resources
Keep the working directory at the user's project. Resolve this loaded SKILL.md
with Path(path).resolve() before locating resources; follow symlinks. Bare
helpers/, references/, and template paths are relative to that real skill
directory. A path written as skills/<name>/... means the installed <name>
skill's directory from the agent's skill catalog, not a path in the user's project.
Locate each dependency by its public skill name; copied skills need not be siblings.
If a dependency is absent, report the missing skill and install it before that step.
Shared writing files are bundled in how-to-write-ideas-report/references/.
Before running the examples, set DOWNLOAD_REF_DIR to the absolute directory of how-to-download-ref. Quote these variables as shown.
Paper Reviewer
Run a structured review-and-enhance pass over an existing scientific manuscript. The skill reads the whole paper, produces location-anchored comments first, then applies only the edits the user approves and re-checks that the manuscript still compiles.
Scope note. This is the reviewing/revising counterpart to write-paper (which drafts a manuscript figures-first). It is not survey report mode, which writes technology/field-assessment reports from a literature survey. Use review-paper when a manuscript already exists and the user wants comments, a referee-style critique, reference/fact verification, or guideline-driven polish. If no manuscript exists yet, redirect to write-paper.
Guidelines 1–8 below come from a manuscript-quality rubric, and guideline 9 checks the manuscript against its target journal's own rules; the writing checklist lives in skills/how-to-technical-writing/checklist.md and the review-process checklist in skills/review-paper/checklist.md. Sentence- and paragraph-level rules live in the how-to-technical-writing skill (skills/how-to-technical-writing/SKILL.md); notation and figure discipline live in write-paper/SKILL.md. This skill references both rather than restating them. Consult skills/write-paper/references.md for the why behind a rule.
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.

review-paper is a skill published in the GitHub repository QuantumBFS/sci-brain (101 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 6,080 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
