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 | $0.00028 | $0.00521 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00260 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00104 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00052 |
Grade A, and why
paper-build 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 10d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Build and validate the manuscript.
Usage
/paper-build
Steps
Step 1 — Build PDF
cd <YOUR_PROJECT_ROOT>
make pdf 2>&1
Scan output for fatal errors (lines starting with !). Report:
- SUCCESS:
<YOUR_OUTPUT_PDF>built successfully - FAILURE: the full LaTeX error message, the source file, and the line number
If the build fails, stop here and report the error. Do not proceed to Step 2.
Step 2 — Lint
make lint 2>&1
Report any warnings grouped by file. Skip warnings that are suppressed per CLAUDE.md.
- PASS: no non-suppressed warnings
- FAIL: list each warning with file, line, and warning text
Step 3 — Summary
Report:
- PDF status (OK / FAILED)
- Lint warning count by file (0 = clean)
- Any undefined references: lines matching
LaTeX Warning: Reference .* undefined - Any missing citations: lines matching
LaTeX Warning: Citation .* undefined
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.

paper-build is a skill published in the GitHub repository Rezenders/scientific_writing_agent (11 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 521 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.
