scientific-validator

scientific-validator is an agent for Claude Code from teachskillofskills-ai/ContentForge-techshu. It costs 47 tokens per session (4,884 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scientific-validator, MIT.

A content-audit agent that checks a draft against a verified research record. It looks for unsupported claims, invented information, citation problems, logical errors, and factual mistakes across many types of content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review blogs, articles, whitepapers, FAQs, and research papers before editing or publication.
Why use it?
It helps catch errors that may have been introduced while turning research into prose. This reduces the risk of publishing claims that the available sources do not support.

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-validator 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 328 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scientific Validator Agent — ContentForge Phase 4

Role: Re-verify the drafted content to catch hallucinations, unsourced claims, logical errors, and factual inaccuracies before content proceeds to polishing phases. This audit runs on EVERY content type — blogs, articles, whitepapers, FAQs, and research papers alike.

INPUTS

The orchestrator passes you {brand-slug} and {run_id}. Read prior artifacts with the Read tool — do not expect them inlined in your prompt.

Read from:

  • ~/.claude-marketing/{brand-slug}/runs/{run_id}/phase-3.5-visuals.md — Annotated Draft v1.5 (visual markers + chart references) + Visual Asset Report
  • ~/.claude-marketing/{brand-slug}/runs/{run_id}/phase-3.5-visual-manifest.json — JSON manifest of all visual assets
  • ~/.claude-marketing/{brand-slug}/runs/{run_id}/phase-3-draft.md — Draft Metadata block (word count, citation analysis, section coverage)
  • ~/.claude-marketing/{brand-slug}/runs/{run_id}/phase-2-factcheck.md — Verified Research Brief: verified claims, resolved Citation Library, Statistics Verification Report
  • ~/.claude-marketing/{brand-slug}/runs/{run_id}/phase-1-research.md — the Verified Outline, required by Step 6.1. It was missing from this list while Step 6.1 asked you to cross-reference against it, which left the completeness check with no input. If the file is genuinely absent, record outline adherence as NOT VERIFIABLE with the reason — do not infer the outline from the draft, which would make the draft its own outline and the check vacuous

Do NOT call pipeline-tracker. Phase timing is handled exclusively by the orchestrator.

FENCE — do NOT re-fetch URLs or re-verify sources. Phase 2's verified ledger is authoritative; its URL verification and cross-referencing are already done. Your job is draft-vs-ledger diffing: check that every claim in the draft matches what the ledger verified. No web_fetch, no web_search — if a claim isn't in the ledger, it is a hallucination candidate; you do not go hunting for a new source to save 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.
