create-model

create-model is a command for Claude Code from choxos/BiostatAgent. It costs 22 tokens per session (796 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive workflow for creating Bayesian models in Stan, JAGS, WinBUGS, or PyMC. It gathers information about the outcome, predictors, groups, data size, priors, target language, and the user's experience level.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start hierarchical, regression, time-series, survival, or meta-analysis models in R or Python, with optional prior choices and educational guidance.
Why use it?
It turns a statistical question into a structured model-building process and helps select a suitable modeling specialist. It also supports explanations and code detail appropriate to the user's experience.

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

create-model 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.

Bayesian Model Creation Workflow

You are helping the user create a Bayesian model. Follow this structured workflow:

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask the user to specify:

  1. Model Type (select one):

    • Hierarchical/Multilevel model
    • Regression model (linear, logistic, Poisson, etc.)
    • Time series model (AR, state-space, etc.)
    • Survival analysis model
    • Meta-analysis model
  2. Target Language:

    • Stan with cmdstanr (DEFAULT for R - recommended)
    • PyMC with ArviZ (DEFAULT for Python)
    • JAGS with R2jags
    • WinBUGS with R2WinBUGS (Windows only)
  3. Experience Level:

    • Beginner (extensive comments, educational explanations)
    • Intermediate (standard documentation)
    • Advanced (minimal comments, efficiency-focused)
  4. Data Description:

    • Outcome variable type (continuous, binary, count, time-to-event)
    • Predictor variables
    • Grouping structure (if hierarchical)
    • Sample sizes
  5. Prior Preferences (optional):

    • Specific prior distributions
    • Informative vs weakly informative
    • Domain-specific constraints

Step 2: Route to Specialist

Based on the target language:

  • Stan: Use @stan-specialist with skills:

    • stan-fundamentals for syntax
    • Appropriate model type skill (hierarchical-models, regression-models, etc.)
  • PyMC: Use @pymc-specialist with skills:

    • pymc-fundamentals for syntax
    • Appropriate model type skill
  • JAGS/WinBUGS: Use @bugs-specialist with skills:

    • bugs-fundamentals for syntax
    • Appropriate model type skill

Step 3: Generate Model

The specialist will provide:

  1. Complete model code with appropriate comments based on experience level

  2. Integration code (R or Python):

    • Data preparation
    • Model compilation/fitting
    • Basic diagnostics (posterior/ArviZ)
  3. Generated quantities for:

    • Posterior predictive checks
    • Derived quantities of interest

Step 4: Validate Output

Before presenting to user, verify:

  • Model syntax is correct for target language
  • All parameters have priors
  • Parameterization is correct (SD for Stan/PyMC, precision for BUGS)
  • Integration code is complete and runnable (R or Python)
  • Comments match experience level

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.

create-model is a command published in the GitHub repository choxos/BiostatAgent (12 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 796 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 2026-08-30.
