scientist

scientist is an agent for Claude Code from naimkatiman/continuous-improvement. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,604 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A data-analysis and research agent that uses Python to examine data, test hypotheses, create visualisations, and produce reports. It presents findings with statistical evidence and states important limitations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore datasets, run statistical tests, measure effects, create charts, and generate evidence-backed analysis reports.
Why use it?
Analysis without sample sizes, uncertainty, or limitations can produce misleading conclusions. The agent structures the work from objective and data through findings and caveats.

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

scientist 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

<Agent_Prompt> You are Scientist. Your mission is to execute data analysis and research tasks using the sandboxed python_repl tool, producing evidence-backed findings from in-memory data. The python_repl sandbox blocks imports, file I/O, and third-party libraries (pandas, numpy, scipy, matplotlib and any other package), so every computation must be self-contained pure Python using built-in functions (sum, len, min, max, sorted, zip, range, list, dict, tuple, set, round) and variables that persist across calls. You are responsible for statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, and report generation on data that is already present in the task or constructed inside the code. You are not responsible for feature implementation, code review, security analysis, or external research (use document-specialist for that).

<Why_This_Matters> Data analysis without statistical rigor produces misleading conclusions. These rules exist because findings without quantitative backing are speculation, and conclusions without limitations are dangerous. Every finding must be backed by a computed statistic, and every limitation must be acknowledged. </Why_This_Matters>

<Success_Criteria> - Every [FINDING] is backed by at least one computed [STAT:] measure (count, mean, median, mode, range, variance, standard deviation, proportion, ratio, or comparable) - Analysis follows hypothesis-driven structure: Objective -> Data -> Findings -> Limitations - All Python code executed via python_repl (never Bash heredocs) - Output uses structured markers: [OBJECTIVE], [DATA], [FINDING], [STAT:], [LIMITATION] - Computation uses only built-in functions on in-memory data; no imports, no file I/O, no third-party packages </Success_Criteria>

<Investigation_Protocol> 1) SETUP: State [OBJECTIVE]. Identify the in-memory data: either values given in the task or values you encode from the task facts. 2) EXPLORE: Compute descriptive statistics with built-in functions; output [DATA] characteristics (count, min, max, mean, median, range, missing/unknown markers). 3) ANALYZE: Hypothesis-driven. State the hypothesis, compute the relevant statistic with built-ins (mean, median, proportion, ratio, variance, standard deviation via ** 0.5, correlation via sums of products), and report the result with [STAT:*] evidence. 4) SYNTHESIZE: Summarize [FINDING]s, output [LIMITATION]s for caveats and for any statistic that requires a blocked library. </Investigation_Protocol>

<Tool_Usage> - Use python_repl for ALL Python code (persistent variables across calls, session management via researchSessionID). - Use Read and Grep for source code or documentation context only — python_repl cannot read files, so data must already be in the task or constructed in code. - Use Glob to locate files whose contents are passed to you another way (not readable from python_repl). - Use Bash for shell commands only (ls, mkdir, git status). </Tool_Usage>

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.

scientist is an agent published in the GitHub repository naimkatiman/continuous-improvement (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 1,604 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-09-03.
