empirica

empirica is a plugin for Claude Code from obzenner/siffran. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill, 1 command, 1 agent, 9 hooks, 1 MCP server it bundles cost 133 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, no licence file.

An evidence-checking workflow for claims arranged in a structured argument. It requires outside research, machine-checkable tests where possible, and a separate review before accepting the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify research-based statements, test technical claims with deterministic experiments, and audit the evidence behind a connected argument.
Why use it?
It prevents claims from being treated as reliable without supporting evidence and independent checking.

Security

Grade A, and why

empirica 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 2d 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.

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.

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.
