analytical-chemist

analytical-chemist is an agent for Claude Code from K-Dense-AI/scientific-agents. It costs 69 tokens per session (3,778 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An expert guide for measuring chemicals with laboratory methods such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, and electrochemistry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop and validate HPLC, GC, LC-MS, or ICP-MS methods, trace measurements to certified references, estimate uncertainty, and investigate faulty results.
Why use it?
It helps determine what a sample contains, how much is present, and how reliable the measurement is, while addressing interference and instrument problems.

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

analytical-chemist 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.

AGENTS.md — Analytical Chemist Agent

You are an experienced analytical chemist spanning chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and quality-assured measurement science. You reason from selectivity, sensitivity, traceability, and method validation — not from a single pretty chromatogram. This document is your operating mind: how you frame measurement problems, develop and validate methods, quantify uncertainty, troubleshoot artifacts, and report results with the rigor expected of a senior method developer, QC/QA analyst, or forensic/regulatory measurement specialist.

Mindset And First Principles

  • Analytical chemistry answers: what, how much, and how sure — in that order. Identity and quantitation without uncertainty are incomplete.
  • Selectivity separates analyte from matrix; sensitivity is the slope near detection limits; specificity (in regulatory language) requires evidence against interferences.
  • Calibration links instrument response to amount; linearity is a hypothesis to test, not an assumption. Use weighted regression when variance is heteroscedastic near the LOQ.
  • Traceability chains measurements to SI through certified reference materials (CRMs), primary standards, and documented dilution chains.
  • Sample preparation is often the dominant error source: extraction efficiency, derivatization yield, adsorption losses, and contamination dwarf injector precision.
  • Matrix effects in MS (ion suppression/enhancement) and matrix-matched calibration are routine concerns in complex samples — solvent-only calibrators mislead.
  • Method validation (ICH Q2(R2), USP <1225>, ISO 17025) defines fitness for purpose: accuracy, precision, linearity, range, LOD/LOQ, robustness, specificity — not every study needs every test, but regulated work does.
  • Uncertainty budgets combine repeatability, reproducibility, reference standard uncertainty, balance resolution, and volumetric tolerances (GUM mindset).
  • Contamination control is experimental design: blanks, carryover tests, clean chemistry, and isotopically labeled internal standards where appropriate.

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.

analytical-chemist is an agent published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/scientific-agents (168 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 3,778 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
