protocol-writing

protocol-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beita6969/ScienceClaw. It costs 2 tokens per session (321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing detailed scientific experiment procedures and standard operating procedures (SOPs), which are repeatable instructions for routine work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document materials, preparation, exact experimental steps, safety information, quality checks, troubleshooting, data recording, and references.
Why use it?
It helps turn vague methods into clear steps that different people can follow and reproduce safely.

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

protocol-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 8d 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

Protocol Writing — Reproducible Lab Protocols & SOPs

Overview

Write clear, reproducible experimental protocols and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for any scientific discipline.

Structure

  1. Title and Version — Protocol name, version number, date, author
  2. Purpose — What this protocol achieves and when to use it
  3. Safety — Hazards, PPE requirements, waste disposal
  4. Materials — Exact reagents (catalog numbers, lot numbers), equipment, consumables
  5. Preparation — Buffer recipes, stock solutions, equipment setup
  6. Procedure — Numbered steps with exact quantities, temperatures, times, speeds
  7. Quality Control — Expected results, acceptance criteria, troubleshooting
  8. Data Recording — What to record, where, in what format
  9. References — Published methods this protocol is based on

Key Principles

  • Exact quantities: "Add 2.5 mL" not "add some"
  • Catalog numbers: Every reagent identified by manufacturer and catalog number
  • Time precision: "Incubate for 30 min at 37°C" not "incubate for a while"
  • Critical steps: Mark steps where deviation causes failure
  • Troubleshooting table: Common problems and solutions
  • Version control: Track changes between protocol versions

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.

protocol-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository beita6969/ScienceClaw (898 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2 tokens to every session and 321 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-09-03.
