cross-language-check

cross-language-check is a skill for Claude Code from flonat/flonat-research. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,065 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification tool that repeats a quantitative analysis in a second programming language and compares the results. For example, it can compare an R analysis with a Python, Stata, or Julia version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to cross-check existing empirical results across R, Python, Stata, and Julia implementations.
Why use it?
Independent implementations can reveal coding mistakes when their estimates or outputs disagree.

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

cross-language-check 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 6d 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cross-Language Replication Check

Level 1 of the verification hierarchy: same specification → same estimate across languages. If two independent implementations disagree, at least one has a bug.

Output Path

Per rules/review-artefact-routing.md (auto-loads in research projects (path-scoped to paper-*/ and paper/)):

  • Source slug: cross-language-check
  • Write reports to: reviews/<scope>/cross-language-check/<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM>.md inside the project, where <scope> is the paper slug (e.g., paper-jtp) for paper-level checks or _project for project-level checks. Path is relative to the research project root, not the Task-Management repo.
  • Never at project root (./CRITIC-REPORT.md-style filenames are forbidden — pre-rule layout).
  • Idempotency: if today's file exists, append a same-day descriptor ({date}-revision.md, {date}-r2.md, {date}-pre-submission.md) — never overwrite.
  • Index update: if reviews/INDEX.md exists, write a one-line entry under "Latest per source" pointing at the new file. Otherwise review-recap will rebuild the index next time it runs.
  • Infrastructure repos (Task-Management, atlas-workspace, etc.): this section does not apply — the path-scoped rule won't load there.

When to Use

  • Before submitting a paper with quantitative results
  • When you suspect a subtle bug in estimation code
  • After refactoring analysis scripts
  • As a robustness check that reviewers increasingly expect
  • When switching languages for a collaborator

When NOT to Use

  • Pure simulation code with no statistical estimation → computational-experiments
  • The analysis is trivial (descriptive stats only) — not worth the overhead
  • The source script uses language-specific packages with no equivalent (e.g., bespoke Bayesian MCMC)

Workflow

Phase 1: Parse Source Script

  1. Read the source script — identify language, packages, estimation calls
  2. Extract the specification:
    • Data loading and cleaning steps
    • Variable construction and transformations
    • Estimation command(s) with exact formula/model specification
    • Standard error clustering, weights, fixed effects
    • Sample restrictions and filters
  3. Identify key outputs — point estimates, standard errors, p-values, confidence intervals, N
  4. Flag untranslatable elements — language-specific features that may need adaptation (e.g., R formula syntax, Stata factor variables, Python sklearn pipelines)

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.

cross-language-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository flonat/flonat-research (132 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,065 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
