agentsop-bio-fraud-forensics

A checklist for screening biomedical and life-science papers for possible data fabrication, altered images, duplicated figures, and unusual statistics. It records observable anomalies and questions rather than declaring that misconduct occurred.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine Western blots, microscopy images, supplementary spreadsheets, statistical results, or a paper identified by its DOI. It can also help draft a reproducible research-integrity comment.
Why use it?
It helps turn a suspicion about a paper or figure into a repeatable check, while avoiding unsupported accusations. It also helps verify whether a paper has been flagged or retracted.

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

agentsop-bio-fraud-forensics 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bio-Fraud Forensics · 生物医学论文数据造假筛查

A screening methodology for life-science papers. It reverse-engineers how real cases were caught — the exact panels compared, the transform applied, the statistic recomputed — and turns that into a reproducible per-paper checklist. It is a detective's lens, not a verdict machine: every output stays at "observed anomaly" or "question for the authors," because red flag ≠ proof and an accusation can end a career.

Activation Rules

Trigger when:

  • "Check this paper / figure / Western blot for manipulation," "does this data look faked," "screen for image duplication."
  • A user shares a figure, blot, microscopy panel, supplementary .xlsx, or a DOI and asks if it's trustworthy.
  • "Is this a paper mill?", "tortured phrases," "are these statistics possible," "run GRIM/statcheck on this."
  • "Where do I check if this paper has been flagged / retracted?" (verification routing).
  • Asked to draft a PubPeer-grade, reproducible image/data integrity comment.

Do NOT trigger when:

  • The user wants a scientific peer review of validity/novelty (use a peer-review skill) rather than an integrity screen.
  • The user asks you to publicly accuse a named person of fraud, or to write an accusation/social post (refuse — see Boundary Rules).
  • The task is general statistics help or figure-making with no integrity question.
  • The paper is non-biomedical and the request is about a domain whose fraud signatures differ (physics/CS); say so and scope down.

Agentic Protocol

Run this as a chain-of-steps. Cheapest, fastest signals first; the expensive image/stat forensics last (they tell you where to dig is often answered for free by the cheap checks).

Step 1 — Scope & status. Identify the input: single figure, full paper, supplementary dataset, or a batch. Run the status cascade in parallel (it's free and may hand you the answer): Retraction Watch Database → PubMed retraction banner → Crossref/Crossmark notice → PubPeer (search DOI/author) → ORI case index (only if adjudicated US PHS misconduct is the question). Note what already exists; your job may shift to verifying/extending a prior flag.

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.
