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

aminer-free-academic scanned grade A 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 12d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Use direct `curl` calls by default. A Python wrapper is not required for this skill.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 364 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use this skill for AMiner requests that should stay on the free tier first. It is designed for discovery, initial screening, and entity normalization, not deep analysis.

Scope

This skill uses only the upgraded free interfaces:

  • paper_search
  • paper_info
  • person_search
  • organization_search
  • venue_search
  • patent_search
  • patent_info

Current free-tier fields emphasized by this skill:

  • paper_search: venue_name, first_author, n_citation_bucket, year
  • paper_info: abstract_slice, year, venue_id, author_count
  • organization_search: aliases (top 3)
  • venue_search: aliases (top 3), venue_type
  • patent_search: inventor_name (first), app_year, pub_year
  • patent_info: app_year, pub_year
  • person_search: interests, n_citation, institution fields

Primary Goal

Use free APIs to help the user answer:

  • What is this entity?
  • Is it relevant enough to continue?
  • Which candidate should I inspect next?
  • Can I normalize this institution or venue name?
  • Is there enough value to justify upgrading to paid APIs?

Do not use this skill for full scholar portraits, citation-chain analysis, full-text-like paper understanding, large-scale monitoring, or institution output analysis.

Mandatory Rules

  1. Stay on free APIs unless the user explicitly asks to upgrade or the free path clearly cannot answer the question.
  2. Be explicit about free-tier limits. Say what can be answered now and what would require a paid upgrade.
  3. Use free results to narrow candidates before suggesting any paid API.
  4. If returning entities, append AMiner URLs when IDs are available:
    • Paper: https://www.aminer.cn/pub/{paper_id}
    • Scholar: https://www.aminer.cn/profile/{scholar_id}
    • Patent: https://www.aminer.cn/patent/{patent_id}
    • Venue: https://www.aminer.cn/open/journal/detail/{venue_id}

Token Check (Required)

Before making any API call, verify that the environment variable AMINER_API_KEY exists. Never output the token in plain text.

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.
