zLanqing/codex-claude-academic-skills is a collection of three skills for academic writing, editable Word and PowerPoint documents, and scientific computing with MATLAB and Python. Chinese-speaking researchers use it for literature reports, papers, presentations, data analysis, simulations, and publication figures in Claude Code or Codex. The catalogue contains the project's academic workflow skills.
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 4 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 | $0.00073 | $0.08281 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.04140 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.01656 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00828 |
Grade A, and why
timesfm-forecasting 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.

TimesFM Forecasting
Overview
TimesFM (Time Series Foundation Model) is a pretrained decoder-only foundation model developed by Google Research for time-series forecasting. It works zero-shot — feed it any univariate time series and it returns point forecasts with calibrated quantile prediction intervals, no training required.
This skill wraps TimesFM for safe, agent-friendly local inference. It includes a mandatory preflight system checker that verifies RAM, GPU memory, and disk space before the model is ever loaded so the agent never crashes a user's machine.
Key numbers: TimesFM 2.5 uses 200M parameters (~800 MB on disk, ~1.5 GB in RAM on CPU, ~1 GB VRAM on GPU). The archived v1/v2 500M-parameter model needs ~32 GB RAM. Always run the system checker first.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Forecasting any univariate time series (sales, demand, sensor, vitals, price, weather)
- You need zero-shot forecasting without training a custom model
- You want probabilistic forecasts with calibrated prediction intervals (quantiles)
- You have time series of any length (the model handles 1–16,384 context points)
- You need to batch-forecast hundreds or thousands of series efficiently
- You want a foundation model approach instead of hand-tuning ARIMA/ETS parameters
Do not use this skill when:
- You need classical statistical models with coefficient interpretation → use
statsmodels - You need time series classification or clustering → use
aeon - You need multivariate vector autoregression or Granger causality → use
statsmodels - Your data is tabular (not temporal) → use
scikit-learn
Note on Anomaly Detection: TimesFM does not have built-in anomaly detection, but you can use the quantile forecasts as prediction intervals — values outside the 90% CI (q10–q90) are statistically unusual. See the
examples/anomaly-detection/directory for a full example.

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.
- 11d ago First seen · 786 lines · 73 tokens per session scan A 179145a6824b
timesfm-forecasting is a skill published in the GitHub repository zLanqing/codex-claude-academic-skills (3,735 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 8,281 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
