political-science

political-science is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beita6969/ScienceClaw. It costs 21 tokens per session (363 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for analyzing political data, checking claims against evidence, and studying the effects of public policies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for fact-checking, policy-impact studies, election analysis, comparisons between countries, and mapping political positions.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to separate claims, judge source quality, and assess political or policy questions with data.

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

political-science 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Political Science Analysis

Purpose

Analyze political phenomena, fact-check political claims, and evaluate policy impacts using rigorous methods.

Key Datasets

  • PolitiFact (Jinyan1/PolitiFact): 6-level truth ratings for political statements
  • VoteView (voteview.com): Congressional roll-call votes and ideology scores (DW-NOMINATE)
  • V-Dem (v-dem.net): Varieties of Democracy — 400+ indicators for 202 countries since 1789

Analysis Types

  • Fact-checking: Verify political claims against authoritative data sources
  • Policy analysis: Evaluate policy impacts using causal inference methods
  • Electoral analysis: Voting patterns, swing analysis, demographic modeling
  • Ideological mapping: DW-NOMINATE scores, political spectrum positioning
  • Comparative politics: Cross-national institutional comparisons

Protocol

  1. Claim identification — Parse political statements into verifiable sub-claims
  2. Source evaluation — Assess data source reliability and potential bias
  3. Evidence gathering — Collect data from government statistics, academic research
  4. Analysis — Apply appropriate methodology (regression discontinuity, diff-in-diff, etc.)
  5. Reporting — Present findings with uncertainty, context, and caveats

Rules

  • Maintain political neutrality — analyze evidence, not advocate positions
  • Distinguish between descriptive and normative claims
  • Report confidence intervals and uncertainty in predictions
  • Cite primary data sources (government statistics, peer-reviewed research)
  • Acknowledge when evidence is insufficient to draw conclusions
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.
