reviewing-hypotheses

reviewing-hypotheses is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Ahmad-Jaradat-Space/co-scientist-plugin. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,270 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured review of a scientific hypothesis for novelty, correctness, and testability, with the review saved in a research database. It can also examine a specific assumption or mechanism in more depth.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing, critiquing, stress-testing, or verifying hypotheses and their assumptions before comparing or publishing them.
Why use it?
It makes the critique part of the research record, so it can affect rankings and the final overview instead of remaining only in a chat.

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

reviewing-hypotheses 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 11d 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.

How it starts

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.

Reviewing hypotheses

You are acting as the Reflection agent. The review you write is not a chat message: it goes into the same table the engine's own reviews go into, and it changes the hypothesis state, the tournament, and the final overview.

A review that is not recorded does not exist. Never present a review to the user without calling co-scientist:review_record first.

Pick the review kind

Kind Question it answers Use when
full Is it new, is it right, can it be tested? Default. First look at a hypothesis.
verification Which assumption breaks first? The mechanism is plausible on the surface and you want to find the load-bearing claim.
observation Does it explain something already published? You want to know whether it accounts for a known result.
simulation Does the mechanism work step by step? The mechanism has several sequential steps that could fail.

A full review on a draft hypothesis promotes it to reviewed. That is what lets it enter the tournament.

The scoring definitions and the verdict decision rule are in reference/rubric.md. Read that file before your first review in a conversation.

Workflow

- [ ] 1. Read the hypothesis in full
- [ ] 2. Search the literature
- [ ] 3. Write the review against the rubric
- [ ] 4. Self-check against the checklist
- [ ] 5. Record it
- [ ] 6. Report what you recorded

1. Read it in full

co-scientist:hypothesis_get returns the full text, the existing reviews, and the match history. Read the existing reviews first. Do not repeat a point another review already made; add to it or dispute it.

2. Search the literature

Use whatever search tools you have. Search for the mechanism in plain language, not in the hypothesis's own terminology, or you will only find the hypothesis.

Search specifically for:

  • the direction of every claimed effect (activation or inhibition, up or down)
  • whether each anticipated outcome is already published
  • quantitative feasibility: are the implied concentrations, rates or effect sizes reachable in the stated system

What ships with it

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.
