scientific-method

scientific-method is a plugin for Claude Code from 88plug/scientific-method. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill, 7 commands, 5 agents, 1 hook it bundles cost 1,167 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, no licence file.

An investigation workflow that turns claims into testable hypotheses, predicts results, runs controlled experiments, and checks findings by trying to disprove them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate technical or scientific questions, compare explanations, verify measurements, and maintain a record of hypothesis verdicts.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of accepting an explanation before it has been tested. It also records rejected ideas so they are not repeatedly investigated.

Plugin for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code plugin manifest.

Security

Grade A, and why

scientific-method 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.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside plugin.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
