bio-research is a plugin for Claude Code from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins. Its manifest loads nothing; the 6 skills, 11 MCP servers it bundles cost 650 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A connection to tools and databases for early life-sciences research. bioRxiv is not mentioned in the provided information; the description specifically covers preclinical research, literature, genomics, and biological targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search literature, analyze genomic information, and prioritize targets during early-stage life-sciences research and development.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to gather research information from separate sources when evaluating possible biological targets or research directions.

Security

Grade A, and why

bio-research 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 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.
