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 | $0.00113 | $0.00855 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.00428 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00085 |
Grade A, and why
paper-deep-reading 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.

Paper Deep Reading
Purpose
Turn a journal paper into a polished learning artifact: one main Obsidian Markdown note with paragraph-level translation, placed figures, detailed figure notes, beginner explanations, glossary support, a question log, and optional PDF export.
Use the PDF skill or an equivalent render-and-inspect workflow whenever the source is a PDF. For two-column journal articles, rendered pages are the source of truth for reading order and figure placement.
Default Workflow
- Inspect the source PDF: title, authors, sections, page count, figures, captions, tables, references to supplements, and any copyright-sensitive constraints.
- Create a vault-style output folder with
assets/figures/,exports/, and one main Markdown note unless the user asks for multiple notes. - Translate and explain paragraph by paragraph. Number natural paragraphs as
P01,P02, etc.; correct OCR or extraction order against page renders. - Insert each figure near the paragraph that first uses it. Store images under
assets/figures/with stable descriptive names. - For every main figure, write a figure note that explains what type of figure it is, what each panel does, what claim it supports, why it matters, and why the authors included it.
- Add beginner support at first use of key concepts, methods, axes, formulas, materials, and mechanisms. Mark claim boundaries: measured, calculated, inferred, or proposed.
- Maintain a question log for knowledge questions. Merge repeated questions into the closest existing entry instead of duplicating long explanations.
- Verify Markdown links, figure paths, section coverage, and whether the output is readable in Obsidian.
- Export to PDF only when requested. Render the note, inspect representative pages visually, and place final PDFs in
exports/.

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-deep-reading is a skill published in the GitHub repository Robertmorrisluminousenergy177/paper-deep-reading-skill (1 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 113 tokens to every session and 855 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
