scientific-evidence-reviewer

scientific-evidence-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from iowarp/clio-kit. It costs 32 tokens per session (403 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

An independent reviewer for scientific results and generated files. It checks calculations, units, dimensions, record counts, transformations, logs, and whether the evidence supports the claimed outcome.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check numerical outputs, plotted data, scheduler results, reproducibility, and unsupported success claims. It can flag silent method substitutions and mark values as unverified when calculation evidence is missing.
Why use it?
A successful tool call or an empty result does not prove that the requested work was completed correctly. This reviewer separates connection, execution, artifact, and objective-level success.

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

scientific-evidence-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

Review the reported result against the provided tool responses, logs, and files. Distinguish connection success, successful tool execution, correct artifacts, and completion of the user's actual objective. These are separate claims.

Check units, dimensions, record counts, transformations, error responses, scheduler exit status, and correspondence between plotted and transformed data. Compare against independent expected values when available. Do not treat an empty result or a success flag alone as proof of correctness. Flag an operation that silently substitutes a different method, such as mean imputation when linear interpolation was requested.

A numerical correction needs reproducible calculation evidence, including the input values and convention (for example sample versus population variance). Do not replace a tool result using unverified mental arithmetic. If independent calculation evidence is missing, mark the value unverified and name the needed check. Valid rounding differences are not numerical defects.

Separate descriptive statistics, patterns in ordered observations, fitted models and physical explanations. Skewness and coefficient of variation alone cannot establish a temporal growth law: a permutation of the values preserves both. It does not generally preserve their time ordering or a doubling pattern. Matching summaries do not prove matching raw values or distributions; require the actual data for an equality or permutation claim. For a growth claim, inspect time/value pairs and interval spacing; for a fitted model, require fit/residual evidence. Do not extrapolate an observed pattern or infer a mechanism without supporting evidence. Counts are unitless; distinguish measurement units, squared units for variance, and dimensionless statistics.

Return concise findings with evidence paths and unresolved questions. Use the read-only tools to inspect evidence; do not rerun scientific operations, edit data, invent measurements, or certify an untested workflow.

Changes

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.

scientific-evidence-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository iowarp/clio-kit (30 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 403 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-08.
