scientific-writing

scientific-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentlas-ai/agentlas-desktop. It costs 60 tokens per session (3,004 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scientific-writing, Apache-2.0.

A guide for drafting, revising, and checking scientific papers and reports. It covers evidence tracking, reporting guidelines, references, declarations, authorship responsibilities, confidentiality, tables, figures, and submission preparation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for manuscript sections, reports, references, declarations, tables, figures, and journal-submission preparation while protecting unpublished or sensitive material.
Why use it?
It helps produce clear scientific writing without inventing results, citations, or certainty. It also separates writing assistance from evidence checking and the authors' responsibility for final approval.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

scientific-writing 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/_common.py, scripts/audit_claims.py, scripts/check_consistency.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to scientific-writing — 28 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 374 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scientific Writing

Purpose

Produce clear scientific prose without inventing evidence or concealing uncertainty. Keep drafting, evidence verification, and submission approval as separate stages.

The accountable human authors control scientific decisions and final approval. AI is not an author, and generated fluency is never evidence [SW-S01, SW-S03].

Non-negotiable safety rules

Confidentiality

Do not send unpublished manuscripts, peer-review or editorial material, sensitive or restricted data, PHI or other personal data, proprietary content, or source documents to an external service without:

  1. explicit authorization from a person or body empowered to grant it; and
  2. a documented review of journal, institutional, funder, consent, ethics, contractual, legal, and data-use policy.

When authorization or policy is unclear, keep processing local and use only the minimum metadata needed. De-identification requires expert review; removing obvious names is not sufficient. See references/authorship_ai_confidentiality.md.

No fabrication

Never invent or complete:

  • citations, references, DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, URLs, or quotations;
  • results, data values, denominators, sample sizes, units, effect estimates, uncertainty, statistical tests, or significance claims;
  • methods, materials, protocol details, software versions, analysis choices, or deviations;
  • registrations, approvals, consent, ethics statements, participant details, or dates;
  • authors, author order, CRediT roles, acknowledgments, or permissions;
  • funding, sponsor roles, conflicts, data or code availability, or AI disclosures.

Use an explicit missing, unverified, or not-applicable state. Do not substitute plausible boilerplate.

Evidence binding

Every factual or numeric manuscript claim must map to verified evidence IDs. A human verifier must open the source, confirm the proposition and locator, verify bibliographic metadata, and record who verified it and when.

Search snippets, generated summaries, memory, and another work's bibliography may aid discovery but do not verify a claim. See references/evidence_workflow.md.

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.
