snyk-vulnbench: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/benchmark-latex-writer/SKILL.md

benchmark-latex-writer is a skill for Codex from snyk-labs/snyk-vulnbench. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,882 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for turning benchmark reports or results-focused Markdown articles into self-contained LaTeX papers ready for arXiv submission.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating an arXiv-compatible article project from Markdown, benchmark data, citations, tables, HTML or SVG charts, and figures.
Why use it?
It saves the work of rebuilding structure, references, tables, charts, figures, and other paper files by hand.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is snyk-labs/snyk-vulnbench's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on snyk-vulnbench itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything snyk-vulnbench configures →

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 B, and why

benchmark-latex-writer scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/build_arxiv_project.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Benchmark LaTeX Writer

Goal

Produce a clean academic LaTeX project from a benchmark report. Preserve the report's claims and tables, reshape the prose into paper structure, compile locally when possible, show a PDF preview, and package an Overleaf-ready ZIP.

Output Directory

Create a dedicated arXiv directory inside the report or benchmark folder, usually:

<report-dir>/arxiv/

Write generated files there:

  • main.tex
  • references.bib
  • figures/ for image assets
  • main.pdf after compilation
  • preview-page-1.png or another first-look preview
  • <slug>-overleaf-source.zip

Do not scatter LaTeX artifacts into the original report directory.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the source report before writing:

    • Find the primary markdown article, benchmark JSON/JSONL, chart manifests, generated HTML reports, and existing image assets.
    • Prefer rg --files, rg, sed, and find.
    • Extract title, author metadata, actual report date, headings, tables, code snippets, links, citation targets, figure placeholders, and chart captions.
  2. Create the paper structure:

    • Use \documentclass[11pt]{article}.
    • Use graphicx, booktabs, xcolor, geometry, authblk, natbib, url, listings, and lmodern.
    • Load hyperref bare, then configure links separately:
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true, citecolor=darkblue, linkcolor=darkblue, urlcolor=darkblue}
  • Hardcode the date with \date{<actual date>} and immediately add \renewcommand{\today}{<actual date>}.
  • Do not place a standalone \today after \maketitle.
  • Use \author[1]{Name} and \affil[1]{Affiliation} with authblk.
  1. Convert content with academic discipline:
    • Use abstract, Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and references unless the source strongly suggests another standard structure.
    • Convert markdown tables to booktabs tables without vertical rules.
    • Use \resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{...} for wide metric tables.
    • Convert fenced code blocks to lstlisting.
    • Define JavaScript explicitly before using language=JavaScript; TeX Live's listings does not always include it:

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.
