reading-research-overviews

reading-research-overviews is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Ahmad-Jaradat-Space/co-scientist-plugin. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A way to read and explain the results of an AI co-scientist session, including its overview, ranked hypotheses, reviews, and match history. Its Elo scores show a within-session preference order, not the probability that an idea is correct.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for understanding what a research session found, examining its leading hypotheses, explaining their ratings, and summarising the final overview.
Why use it?
It prevents conclusions from being drawn from rankings alone and puts the debates, reviews, and synthesis into context.

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

reading-research-overviews 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 10d 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.

Reading research overviews

The output of a session is a ranked set of hypotheses plus a meta-review synthesis. Reading it well means separating what the tournament established from what it merely preferred, and checking for the failure modes this system produces.

Get the material

  1. co-scientist:session_status to confirm the session finished and see matches_played and elo.
  2. co-scientist:overview_get for the meta-review synthesis. This is the headline output.
  3. co-scientist:hypotheses_list for the ranking.
  4. co-scientist:hypothesis_get for any hypothesis you are going to discuss in detail. It returns the full text, every review, and the match history.

Never summarise from the ranked list alone. The overview carries the cross-hypothesis findings, which are often the most useful part.

What Elo does and does not mean

Elo here is the outcome of simulated pairwise scientific debates between hypotheses in this session. It is a within-session preference ordering.

  • It is not a probability of being correct.
  • It is not comparable across sessions or across models.
  • It is only meaningful once a hypothesis has played several matches. Check matches_played before quoting a rank.
  • A hypothesis with a high Elo and a damning review is common. Elo reflects debate performance, and a well-argued wrong idea wins debates.

Quote Elo with its match count: "top-ranked, Elo 1287 over 14 matches".

Read the reviews, not just the rank

For each hypothesis you present, pull hypothesis_get and read its reviews. Weight the review over the rank when they disagree, and say so.

Look at:

  • verdict: disproved or other_more_likely outranks any Elo score.
  • scores.correctness: low correctness with high novelty is the classic attractive-but-wrong pattern.
  • assumption checks marked implausible: one implausible load-bearing assumption sinks the mechanism regardless of rank.

Failure modes to check before presenting

Run these checks on the top hypotheses. They are the ones this system actually produces, not hypothetical ones.

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.

reading-research-overviews is a skill published in the GitHub repository Ahmad-Jaradat-Space/co-scientist-plugin (0 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 1,019 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
