Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

refining-ml-papers 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 11d 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.

Refining ML Papers: From Feedback to Camera-Ready

This skill captures battle-tested patterns for revising scientific LaTeX papers in response to reviewer/advisor feedback. Built from extensive revision work on multi-file ICML-style papers with Overleaf git workflows.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke when the user:

  • Has reviewer or advisor feedback to address
  • Wants to restructure paper sections (move content, merge sections)
  • Needs to explain tables or figures with concrete examples
  • Asks to improve exposition clarity or reduce redundancy
  • Wants to fix LaTeX compilation issues after restructuring
  • Needs to prepare a camera-ready or arXiv version

Core Methodology

Phase 1: Understand the Paper Architecture

Before making ANY changes:

  1. Map the file structure: Glob for **/*.tex to find all LaTeX files
  2. Identify the main file and all \input{} dependencies
  3. Read the target sections completely before editing
  4. Check for shared macros: Look for \providecommand / \newcommand patterns that indicate cross-file dependencies
  5. Note existing labels: Grep for \label{ and \ref{ to understand cross-reference graph
# Typical modular structure:
main_arxiv.tex          # Preamble + abstract + introduction + \input{} calls
methods.tex             # Section 3
experiments.tex         # Section 4
appendix.tex            # Appendix
appendix_casimir.tex    # Specialized appendix
references.bib          # Bibliography

Phase 2: Plan Changes with Feedback Mapping

Map each piece of feedback to a concrete file + line range + action:

Feedback Action File(s) Risk
"Problem statement too late" Move to Sec 1 + slim Sec 3 main.tex + methods.tex Cross-ref breakage
"Table entries unclear" Add concrete instantiations paragraph main.tex None
"Sections redundant" Merge + back-reference methods.tex Label conflicts
"Abstract doesn't state problem" Restructure abstract main.tex None

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.
