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 | $0.00134 | $0.00797 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00054 | $0.00319 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00159 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00080 |
Grade A, and why
ieee-search 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
IEEE Literature Search and Verification
Use this skill to gather and verify literature evidence before writing the Introduction, Related Work, citations, or cover-letter significance claims. It is a search-and-verification skill, not a license to pad references.
Core stance
- Search live for current literature. For "latest", "recent", venue policy, DOI, metadata, or title verification, use available web/connectors rather than memory.
- Prefer primary sources. Publisher pages, IEEE Xplore, arXiv records, DOI/Crossref pages, and authors' accepted manuscripts beat blog summaries.
- Verify before formatting. Title, author order, venue, year, volume/issue/pages, DOI, and arXiv ID must come from a source. Missing fields stay missing.
- Organize by mechanism and gap. Related work should help the paper argue a technical gap, not become a chronological bibliography.
- Do not overclaim novelty. Search can support "differs from" and "to the best of our checked sources", but not universal first-ever claims without strong evidence.
When to open extra files
| File | Open when |
|---|---|
| references/search-strategy.md | Planning queries, source selection, venue/time filters, keyword expansion, or novelty checks |
| references/verification-and-bibtex.md | Verifying metadata, DOI/arXiv records, BibTeX, citation keys, and IEEE reference fields |
Use ieee-citation after search to format final references, and ieee-writing to turn the
related-work map into manuscript prose.
Workflow
- Extract the search intent: background survey, related-work paragraph, novelty check, DOI verification, BibTeX export, or citation-gap audit.
- Build query families: system/task, method, metric, venue, and synonyms/acronyms.
- Search primary sources and note exact source URLs/DOIs/arXiv IDs. For recent work, include the date range searched.
- Screen for relevance: same system model, same metric, same assumption, or same method family.
- Verify metadata before creating BibTeX or numbered references.
- Build a related-work matrix: paper -> problem -> method -> limitation -> how the user's work differs.
- Return gaps and confidence: what was searched, what remains uncertain, and which claims need softer language.
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-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository TenWalk/ieee-skills (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 134 tokens to every session and 797 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
