paper-language-pass

paper-language-pass is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from unbias38/my-claude-skills. It costs 276 tokens per session (6,719 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A multi-agent language review process for English academic manuscripts whose scientific content is already settled after peer review. Separate reviewers check consistency, tense, cautious wording, prose, coherence, the abstract, manuscript hygiene, and signs of AI authorship.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to polish a completed research manuscript, review its abstract and overall consistency, improve clarity, and detect wording that sounds like reviewer discussion or implementation notes.
Why use it?
It finds language and presentation problems across a full paper without reopening the underlying scientific decisions.

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

paper-language-pass 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 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.

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.

Paper Language Pass

When to use

The user has a complete academic manuscript whose science is already validated (peer review done, reviewers' substantive concerns addressed) and wants a language-layer polish across the entire paper. Eight specialist subagents run in parallel, each scanning the whole paper for a single dimension of writing quality:

Pass Subagent Looks for
1 Consistency auditor Term/acronym/capitalization/number/unit/hyphenation consistency
2 Tense auditor Section-appropriate tense, within-section consistency, et al. agreement
3 Hedging auditor Claim-strength calibration, overclaiming, under-hedging, abstract-body alignment
4 Prose polisher (review only) Grammar, nominalization, fillers, wordiness, awkward phrasing — sentence level only
5 Coherence reviewer Paragraph claim-first, transitions, argument chaining, organizational redundancy
6 Abstract auditor WHY→PROBLEM→HOW→RESULTS structure, acronyms, no citations, single paragraph
7 Manuscript hygiene auditor Three classes of phrasing that leak from adjacent genres into the manuscript body and never belong there: (A) reviewer / editor process meta-discourse, (B) journal self-reference / sycophancy, (C) implementation / engineering-detail leakage including untaken fallback paths
8 AI-authorship tell auditor Eight tell families measured as whole-manuscript density: hype register (self-praise + literature disparagement), self-coined theoretical jargon, evaluative adverb-comma openers, procedural section roadmaps, near-verbatim argument recycling, em-dash density, signature vocabulary, mechanical rhetorical templates. Reports a signature score (families fired out of 8)

Why AI tells get their own pass. These patterns are only meaningful as density and co-occurrence measurements across the whole manuscript. One Notably, is a word; eleven is a habit. One em dash is punctuation; 4.6 per thousand words is a fingerprint. A sentence-level reviewer cannot tell which one it is looking at, so Passes 1–7 have been explicitly instructed to leave every AI tell to Pass 8, and Pass 8 has been given per-family firing thresholds so it does not blanket-flag normal English. If the user's concern is specifically "does this read as machine-written", Pass 8 is the pass that answers 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.
