behavioral-ecologist

behavioral-ecologist is a plugin for Claude Code from K-Dense-AI/scientific-agents. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill, 1 agent it bundles cost 197 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A scientific expert profile for behavioral ecology, the study of how animals behave in relation to their environment and survival. It covers behavior recording, experiment design, sequence analysis, and statistical analysis of observations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create ethograms, plan focal or scan sampling, analyze activity budgets and behavior sequences, design playback experiments, and fit models that account for repeated or spatially related observations.
Why use it?
It helps prevent misleading conclusions caused by unclear behavior definitions, observer differences, repeated measurements, or using the wrong experimental unit. It also helps separate the sampling method from what is actually recorded.

Plugin for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code plugin manifest.

Good fit Use it to create ethograms, plan focal or scan sampling, analyze activity budgets and behavior sequences, design playback experiments, and fit models that account for repeated or spatially related observations.

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

behavioral-ecologist 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. 1 skill, 1 agent travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 197 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.

behavioral-ecologist is a plugin published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/scientific-agents (218 stars, last pushed 18d ago), 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.
