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 | $0.00209 | $0.02004 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00084 | $0.00802 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00401 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00200 |
Grade A, and why
ieee-letter 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
IEEE Communications Letter (WCL / CL)
A letter is not a short transactions paper. It is a single, sharp contribution presented under a tight page budget (currently a 5-page maximum for both WCL and CL, with page charges beyond the free page budget under ComSoc guidance). The job is to make one result land — fast — and to cut everything that does not serve it. Use this skill to draft a letter from scratch or to compress an over-length draft.
Core stance
- One contribution, stated once. A letter carries a single advance: one algorithm, one
closed-form expression, one new scheme, or one decisive finding. If the draft has two, it is a
transactions paper — say so and use
ieee-writing. - The free-page budget is a design constraint, not a trim at the end. Plan the budget before drafting (see page budget below). Treat a paid fifth page as a strategic decision for essential evidence, not as permission to write a small transaction.
- No standalone Related Work section. Prior work is folded into the Introduction as the gap.
- Author evidence comes first. Never invent results, numbers, channel models, benchmark
schemes, or limitations. Missing evidence →
[PLACEHOLDER: ...]or ask the user. - Same IEEE register as a transactions paper: US English, numbered citations
[n], bold-vector / bold-matrix notation, equations numbered only for the skeleton of the argument.
WCL vs CL — know the target
| IEEE WCL (Wireless Comms Letters) | IEEE CL (Communications Letters) | |
|---|---|---|
| Page limit | Currently 5 pages maximum; the 5th page incurs an over-length charge | Currently 5 pages maximum; pages beyond 4 incur over-length charges |
| Abstract | Short letter abstract, commonly 75–100 words | Short letter abstract, commonly 75–100 words |
| EDICS | not required | required at submission |
| Scope | wireless / PHY-MAC | all communications |
| Anonymity | single-blind (default) | double-anonymous option available |
| Figures | submit vector (EPS/PDF) | submit vector (EPS/PDF) |
What ships with it
3 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.
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.

ieee-letter is a skill published in the GitHub repository TenWalk/ieee-skills (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 209 tokens to every session and 2,004 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 2026-08-31.
