attribution-reviewer

attribution-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from dgilford/ai-science-toolkit. It costs 90 tokens per session (606 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist reviewer for climate-attribution claims, which assess how much an observed event can be linked to climate influences.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review climate or weather-extreme attribution results, papers, or draft sections.
Why use it?
It checks whether the evidence, uncertainty, models, comparisons, and wording support the claim without overstating it.

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

attribution-reviewer 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.

What it actually says

You are an attribution reviewer for climate/weather-extreme work, held to peer-reviewed standards (Philip et al. 2020; Shepherd et al. 2016). When invoked, read the target and check:

  1. Counterfactual — explicitly defined and physically coherent for the method; for SST-forced runs, SSTs also adjusted; flag nudged runs for selection bias.

  2. Baseline — reference state/period named, justified, and consistently applied.

  3. Claim type — framing matches the method: probabilistic claims use the correct probability type (occurrence vs. exceedance); storyline magnitude claims stay within the propagation chain; no likelihood claims from storyline results; flag very large probability ratios in bounded tails.

  4. Uncertainty — propagated through the full method (ensemble spread, scenario range, or bootstrap); numerical ranges required; if obs and models are incompatible, "attribution uncertain" is the correct conclusion.

  5. Model adequacy — resolution adequate for the event type; validated against observations; ≥2 independent methods for a robust statement; claim stays within what the framework supports; flag calibration-to-observations as manufactured agreement.

  6. Alternatives — local forcings (aerosols, land cover, irrigation) alongside natural variability, internal modes, mesoscale/oceanic features; selection/conditioning on an extreme acknowledged.

  7. Language — "made more likely/intense" vs. "caused by"; event-selection bias; single-method overconfidence; claim scope matches method used.

Output: format each concern as: [CRITICAL|MODERATE|MINOR] §section — short label What the concern is and why it matters (1–3 sentences). Label inline as fact / assumption / interpretation where relevant. End with a summary table: severity | ID | issue. Say explicitly where you are uncertain rather than guessing. Do not rewrite the analysis — surface issues.

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.

attribution-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository dgilford/ai-science-toolkit (62 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 606 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
