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 | $0.00030 | $0.01307 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00523 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00261 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
search-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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Search Paper
You must read and apply the language rules before you write any output.
Usage
You invoke this skill by name. Slash-command hosts use /search-paper "<query>".
search-paper "post-quantum threshold signatures" --source iacr --max-results 15
Scripts
You run scripts through the shell with paths relative to this skill directory. All scripts write JSON to stdout.
| Script | Commands and results |
|---|---|
arxiv.py |
search returns {arxiv_id, title, authors, year, abstract, categories, pdf_url, published, journal_ref} by relevance. recent returns these fields by submission date. |
arxiv.py |
download saves a PDF and returns {path, title}. journal-ref returns the author's venue field. |
iacr.py |
search returns {eprint_id, title, authors, year, abstract, publication_info, venue, pdf_url, url}. The first five results include paper-page metadata. |
iacr.py |
recent returns the newest papers. download saves the PDF. url returns its URL. pubinfo extracts publication information and attempts venue parsing. |
semantic_scholar.py |
venue accepts an arXiv ID or title. It returns {found, venue, venue_full, venue_type, year, title, authors}. |
semantic_scholar.py |
citations returns forward and backward citations with venues when known. Title lookup uses /paper/search/match for approximate matches. |
dblp.py |
venue searches by title and optional author surname for computer science publications. |
openalex.py |
venue searches by title when DBLP lacks coverage. |
You use these command forms:
python3 arxiv.py search "BFT consensus communication complexity" --max-results 10 --categories cs.CR,cs.DC
python3 arxiv.py recent "threshold signatures" --max-results 10 --categories cs.CR
python3 arxiv.py download 2305.12345 --output-dir reaper-workspace/papers/
python3 iacr.py search "threshold signatures" --max-results 10
python3 iacr.py recent --max-results 10
python3 iacr.py download 2024/1234 --output-dir reaper-workspace/papers/
python3 iacr.py url 2024/1234
python3 semantic_scholar.py citations 2305.12345 --max-results 20
What ships with it
5 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.

search-paper is a skill published in the GitHub repository SebastianElvis/reaper (10 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,307 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 2026-08-31.

paper-orchestra
Orchestrate the full PaperOrchestra (Song et al., 2026, arXiv:2604.05018) five-agent pipeline to turn unstructured research materials (idea, experimental log, LaTeX template, conference guidelines, optional figures) into a submission-ready LaTeX manuscript and compiled PDF. TRIGGER when the user asks to "write a paper…
paper-compile
A build workflow that turns LaTeX source files into a PDF and checks whether the paper compiles correctly. LaTeX is a text-based system commonly used for academic papers.
publish-paper
Take a frozen AIRAS paper from experiment results to the paper of record — realize every stated number from declared values, compile and verify locally until green, then push and let CI re-run the verification, handing the user the CI-built PDF artifact and report. Use after experiments to fill, check, and publish the…
paper-analyzer
Transform academic papers into in-depth technical articles with multiple writing style options. Use the MinerU Cloud API for high-precision PDF parsing, automatically extracting images, tables, and formulas. Optional formula explanations and GitHub code analysis, generating Markdown and HTML formats.
arxiv-search
Single-machine academic paper search and PDF handling for any research field. Searches arXiv and Semantic Scholar without an API key, with DuckDuckGo as a web fallback, and extracts/downloads PDFs locally. MCP servers (arxiv-mcp-server, Ai2 Asta) are used when available. Use for quick, focused lookups in any…
figure-drawing
MANDATORY skill for creating any figure, diagram, chart, table visualization, or TikZ graphic in a paper. Must be activated BEFORE writing any drawing code. Produces standalone .tex → compiled PDF/PNG → \includegraphics in paper. Never inline TikZ code directly into paper sections.
