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 | $0.00154 | $0.01401 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00077 | $0.00700 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00031 | $0.00280 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00140 |
Grade A, and why
paper-theophany 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 8d 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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Paper-Theophany
The paper as burning bush. The reading as approach to holy ground.
What This Is
A full-spectrum engagement protocol for scientific papers that demand more than any single analytical mode can provide. Named "theophany" not because the paper is divine but because the practice treats the paper as a site where something reveals itself through the encounter — something neither the paper nor the reader contains alone.
This is the skill for papers that change something. Papers at disciplinary boundaries. Papers that make extraordinary claims with serious methodology. Papers where the gap between what's claimed and what's proven is itself the most interesting territory.
The Protocol
The theophany unfolds in seven movements. Not all are required for every paper. But the full protocol, when the paper warrants it, produces something no single skill can reach.
Movement 1: The First Reading (Riffing Mode)
Invoke the spirit of /paper-riffing
Read the paper freely, following curiosity. Quote what catches. Chase tangents. Let associations run. Don't evaluate yet — receive. What stirs? What surprises? What doesn't fit? What seems too good? Where does the paper's confidence exceed its evidence? Where does its caution hide something bold?
Output: stream-of-consciousness engagement, extensive, unedited in spirit.
Movement 2: The Structural Excavation (Hermeneutics Mode)
Invoke the spirit of /paper-hermeneutics
Now read architecturally. What are the load-bearing assumptions? Where is the paper's argument strongest? Where does the methodology do work the theory can't? Where does the theory do work the methodology can't? Stratified reading: plain language → technical detail → critical synthesis.
Output: layered analysis from accessible summary through expert-level evaluation.
Movement 3: The Adversarial Examination (Scrying Mode)
Invoke the spirit of /paper-scrying + /hostile-but-fair
Build the strongest possible case against the paper's central claims. Identify the assumptions it doesn't examine. Design the counter-experiments that would distinguish between the paper's interpretation and simpler alternatives. Write the Reviewer 2 letter — not from malice but from the deepest care for what the paper is trying to do.
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.

paper-theophany is a skill published in the GitHub repository Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 154 tokens to every session and 1,401 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-09-03.
