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 | $0.00211 | $0.01141 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00084 | $0.00456 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
work-with-overleaf 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 — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Work With Overleaf
Most academics keep their .tex in Overleaf, not on disk — so this skill gets an Overleaf project into a local working copy the rest of the toolkit can act on (preflight-check, polish-prose, verify-citations, match-style, …), then helps sync the changes back. It's the on-ramp; the other skills do the work.
Pick the path that matches the account
Overleaf exposes three ways to move a project in and out. Re-verify the current method and whether it's premium before relying on it against Overleaf's live documentation, because account features and menu names can change. As of the last check:
| Path | Who | How |
|---|---|---|
| Git integration (recommended) | Premium / Server Pro 4.0+ | Project → Menu → Git; copy the git clone https://git.overleaf.com/<id> command. Authenticate with an Overleaf token (token-based auth). Work locally, then git pull / git push. Branch is main (older clones may be master). |
| GitHub synchronization | Premium | Link the project to a GitHub repo (Menu → GitHub); sync both ways. Run the skills on the GitHub clone you already have locally. |
| Download ZIP | Free (everyone) | Menu → Download → Source. Work locally; there is no auto-merge — re-upload changed files in the Overleaf editor, or paste edits back. Best for a one-shot check. |
If the user isn't sure which they have, ask; don't assume premium.
Process
- Establish the local copy. Determine the path above and get the project local (clone, use the existing GitHub clone, or unzip the download). Confirm the main
.texand.bibare present. - Run the requested skills on the local files exactly as normal —
preflight-checkfor desk-reject risk,polish-prose/match-stylefor the writing,verify-citationsfor the.bib,assess-paperfor the full read. Write outputs topaper-workspace/. - Review changes before syncing. Show the author a diff of what changed. Never push automatically — academic drafts are shared/co-authored and an unreviewed push can clobber a collaborator's edits.
- Sync back by the same path:
git push(Git integration), commit+push to the linked GitHub repo (sync), or tell the author exactly which files to re-upload (ZIP). For Git/GitHub, confirm first and surface any merge conflicts rather than forcing. - Compile sanity. Note that Overleaf compiles server-side; if the local edits use a package/option Overleaf's TeX Live version may differ on, flag it so the author recompiles on Overleaf before relying on the PDF.
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.

work-with-overleaf is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skills (55 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 211 tokens to every session and 1,141 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-30.
