md2paper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Swair/prosophor. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,862 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A converter that turns Markdown files into academic-style Word documents and optionally PDF files. It supports a Chinese academic template and an English arXiv-style format, where arXiv is a platform commonly used to share research papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create DOCX files, optionally PDFs, from Markdown documents intended as academic papers, white papers, or theory documents.
Why use it?
It saves developers from manually applying paper formatting, headings, author details, and document styles after writing in Markdown.

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

md2paper 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (md2docx.py), 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.

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.

Markdown to Academic Paper Converter

Convert Markdown files to properly formatted Word documents (and optionally PDF). Auto-detects language from filename (Chinese characters = CN format, otherwise EN/arXiv format).

When to Use

  • User asks to convert .md files to .docx / Word / paper / PDF format
  • User wants to generate academic papers, white papers, or theory documents from Markdown
  • User references paper formatting standards (Chinese academic / arXiv style)

Prerequisites

pip install python-docx lxml docx2pdf

Usage

# Word only
python .claude/skills/md2paper/md2docx.py <input.md> <output.docx>

# Word + PDF

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.
