CLAUDE.md

scientific_writing_agent CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Rezenders/scientific_writing_agent. It costs 1,784 tokens per session, scanned D, original, Apache-2.0.

Developer instructions for writing a scientific paper in LaTeX, a document system commonly used for research papers. They cover clarity, technical accuracy, terminology, and consistency.

In plain words
What is it for?
Drafting, editing, and reviewing research manuscripts for journals or conferences.
Why use it?
They help an agent edit the paper without changing its scientific meaning or making the writing inconsistent.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is Rezenders/scientific_writing_agent's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on scientific_writing_agent itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything scientific_writing_agent configures →

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 D, and why

scientific_writing_agent CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 2 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 7d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Add any project-specific terminology rules here. Example: - "Action" has three distinct meanings in this manuscript: [explain]. Keep them distinct. - Refer to the system's reasoning component as "reasoner

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with code in this repository.

What This Is

This repository contains the LaTeX source for "[Paper Title]". A research paper on [topic]. The paper targets [journal/conference format].

The goal is to produce a technically rigorous, internally consistent, publication-ready scientific manuscript. Edits must improve clarity, precision, coherence, and argument strength without changing the intended technical meaning.

Research questions (anchor for consistency checks):

  • RQ1: [Your first research question]
  • RQ2: [Your second research question]

Writing Objectives

Prioritize, in this order:

  1. Technical correctness
  2. Consistency with the rest of the manuscript
  3. Clarity and precision
  4. Concise academic style
  5. Grammar and fluency

Do not make stylistic changes that weaken technical precision.

Writing Style

  • Use formal scientific English.
  • Prefer precise terminology over stylistic variation.
  • Prefer direct, declarative sentences.
  • When introducing a tool or system, prefer "This work uses X" over "X serves as Y" — keep the authors as the active agent.
  • When introducing a contribution, prefer "This work proposes X to achieve Y" — make clear it is a contribution of this paper.
  • Avoid conversational wording, promotional tone, and vague intensifiers.
  • Avoid vague relative clauses that restate a role without adding information.
  • Avoid redundancy across adjacent sentences and paragraphs.
  • Avoid introducing new terminology when existing terminology already covers the concept.
  • Preserve the manuscript's established terminology unless there is a strong reason to change it.
  • Preserve the intended meaning of claims, definitions, assumptions, and results.

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.
