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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 57 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00058 | $0.01873 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00937 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00375 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00187 |
Grade A, and why
quarto-presentations 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 9d 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 — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Quarto Presentations
Scope
- Own the presentation mechanics: Quarto
.qmdstructure, reveal.js format, templates, rendering, PDF export, figures, speaker notes, and layout checks. - Use the current project's narrative, branding, and environment policy when present. Keep lab-specific names, paths, logos, colors, clusters, and personal workflow facts out of the shared skill.
- Prefer text-based Quarto edits. Do not move the user to PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides unless they ask.
Start Or Locate A Deck
- If a deck already exists, edit the
.qmddirectly and preserve its local template, theme, and output conventions. - If starting a new deck, first look for a project-local or lab-local Quarto template. Use that when branding or site policy matters.
- If no local template exists, copy this skill's
assets/_template/directory and replace the slide content:
cp -R /path/to/quarto-presentations/assets/_template ./my-talk
- The bundled template includes a full-width bottom logo panel and placeholder logos under
logos/. Replace those assets with local brand files, keeping the same relative paths or updating_logos.html. - Keep reusable branding in a local template. Do not hard-code one person's institution, name, logos, or cluster paths into a shared deck scaffold.
- Avoid putting body content before the first slide heading; reveal.js can turn it into a blank first slide.
Build And Preview
- Use the project's existing Quarto environment and command style. If none is documented, start with plain
quarto. - Activate a conda/mamba Quarto env rather than calling its
bin/quartoby absolute path. The conda-forge package resolvesQUARTO_SHARE_PATH,QUARTO_DENO, andQUARTO_PANDOCfrom activation scripts; without them the launcher guesses its own share directory, guesses wrong, and reportscat: .../share/version: No such file or directory. That message means unactivated, not broken — do not reinstall on the strength of it:

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.

quarto-presentations is a skill published in the GitHub repository uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills (17 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,873 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.

A grant proposal on CRISPR base-editing for sickle-cell disease — the hypothesis, the approach, the milestones, and the risk. Built as a decision-grade academic research deck for grant review committee.

A field-biology capstone on urban pollinator decline — the survey design, the data, the contribution, and the caveats. Built as a decision-grade coursework defense deck for faculty reviewers.
paper-illustration
A workflow for generating academic illustrations, such as architecture diagrams and method visuals, with image generation and repeated review. Claude plans and checks the figure during the process.
paper-illustration-image2
Generate publication-quality academic illustrations through a local Codex app-server bridge that uses Codex native image generation. This is a separate experimental alternative to paper-illustration, intended for Claude Code users who want a GPT-image-style renderer without modifying the original skill.
paper2video
Turn a research paper, a paper2assets package, or an existing PPT deck into a narrated MP4 video by fully delegating slide authoring to the installed ppt-master skill and fully delegating rendering, subtitles, timeline assembly, and strict media QA to the installed pptx2video skill and its public CLI.

Compose one publication-grade multi-panel figure. Start from a one-line claim plus immutable data Artifact Version references, or inspect an existing figure and draft its outline directly. Plan a 12-column panel outline, delegate one worker per panel, compose and inspect the result, then run at most three adversarial…
