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

research-writing-skill 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Writing Skill

Scope

Use this skill for research writing and revision when the output is prose, LaTeX, Markdown, or manuscript text. Use office-academic-skill instead when the main deliverable is Word/PPT. Use scientific-toolkit-skill when the task is primarily MATLAB, Python, plotting, statistics, simulation, or literature search.

Writing Principles

  • Default to Chinese academic expression unless the user requests English.
  • Preserve English titles, formulas, variables, methods, software names, citations, and reference entries.
  • Do not invent data, DOI, journal details, experiment settings, results, or author claims.
  • Separate 原文/已有数据, 用户确认内容, 根据上下文推断, and 建议性扩展.
  • Prefer verifiable technical statements over generic claims.
  • When revising, preserve the user's intended meaning and terminology unless a change is clearly needed.

Manuscript Workflow

For a new section or paper draft:

  1. Clarify target: journal/conference/thesis/course report, language, length, audience, and required format.
  2. Identify source material: paper notes, experiment results, figures, tables, MATLAB/Python outputs, references, advisor comments.
  3. Build an argument outline before full prose: problem, gap, method, evidence, contribution, limitation.
  4. Draft in coherent paragraphs, not empty slogan bullets.
  5. Add source or evidence labels for quantitative claims and literature claims.
  6. Revise for logic, specificity, terminology consistency, and citation accuracy.

For revision or polishing:

  • Keep claims tied to evidence.
  • Replace vague words such as "显著", "先进", "有效", "鲁棒" with measured conditions, comparison baselines, or remove them.
  • Check whether each paragraph advances the section's purpose.
  • Keep formulas with variable definitions, units, assumptions, and applicable conditions.
  • For experimental sections, state dataset/sample, hardware/software, parameters, metrics, baselines, and uncertainty when available.

Section Guides

Use these default moves unless the user's school or journal template overrides them:

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.
