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 | $0.00031 | $0.00478 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00239 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00096 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
academic-paper-polish 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.

Runtime Compatibility
- Codex: install under
~/.agents/skills/academic-paper-polish. - Hermes: install under
~/.hermes/skills/academic-paper-polishor expose the bundle throughskills.external_dirs. - Claude Code: install under
~/.claude/skills/academic-paper-polishor<project>/.claude/skills/academic-paper-polish. - Claude.ai and Cowork: upload and enable the matching per-skill ZIP.
- Resolve bundled files relative to this skill directory; do not depend on paths from another machine.
- Check tools, packages, credentials, network access, and runtime capabilities before execution.
Academic Paper Polish
Improve an academic draft without changing its scientific meaning.
Workflow
- Identify the field, venue, audience, manuscript section, and requested level of editing.
- Preserve claims, equations, variable names, citations, and technical terminology.
- Improve argument order, paragraph logic, transitions, concision, and hedging.
- Flag claims that need evidence instead of inventing sources.
- Return either tracked suggestions, a revised passage, or both, according to the request.
- Perform a final consistency check for abbreviations, tense, terminology, figure references, and citation style.
Bundled References
references/section-phrases.md: section-specific rhetorical patterns.references/vocabulary.md: precise academic wording and weak-phrase replacements.references/ai-polish.md: reusable editing prompts and verification passes.
Boundaries
- Do not fabricate experiments, results, references, reviewer comments, or statistical significance.
- Distinguish language polishing from substantive scientific review.
- Keep author voice when the user supplies a style sample.
What ships with it
4 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-paper-polish is a skill published in the GitHub repository Rylaispirit/rylai-codex-hermes-skills (55 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 478 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
