What is alterlab-domain-specific?

A set of specialised research tools for areas including quantum computing, maps and geographic data, materials science, astronomy, and digital humanities. It includes libraries for running scientific calculations and analysing domain-specific datasets.

Use it for quantum circuits, geographic analysis, fluid simulations, materials modelling, astronomy data, remote computation, and digital-humanities research.

It gives researchers starting points for technical work that general programming tools do not explain or organise by themselves.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

alterlab-domain-specific 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.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 18 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 2,378 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

What ships with it

1 file beside marketplace.json#alterlab-domain-specific 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.

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.

alterlab-domain-specific is a plugin published in the GitHub repository AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills (78 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: this kind of file is read by the harness, not the model. 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.
