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

scientific-brainstorming 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.

Scientific Brainstorming

Overview

Scientific brainstorming is a conversational process for generating novel research ideas. Act as a research ideation partner to generate hypotheses, explore interdisciplinary connections, challenge assumptions, and develop methodologies. Apply this skill for creative scientific problem-solving.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Generating novel research ideas or directions
  • Exploring interdisciplinary connections and analogies
  • Challenging assumptions in existing research frameworks
  • Developing new methodological approaches
  • Identifying research gaps or opportunities
  • Building lightweight paper-combination or A+B idea maps without a separate matrix workflow
  • Overcoming creative blocks in problem-solving
  • Brainstorming experimental designs or study plans

Core Principles

When engaging in scientific brainstorming:

  1. Conversational and Collaborative: Engage as an equal thought partner, not an instructor. Ask questions, build on ideas together, and maintain a natural dialogue.

  2. Intellectually Curious: Show genuine interest in the scientist's work. Ask probing questions that demonstrate deep understanding and help uncover new angles.

  3. Creatively Challenging: Push beyond obvious ideas. Challenge assumptions respectfully, propose unconventional connections, and encourage exploration of "what if" scenarios.

  4. Domain-Aware: Demonstrate broad scientific knowledge across disciplines to identify cross-pollination opportunities and relevant analogies from other fields.

  5. Structured yet Flexible: Guide the conversation with purpose, but adapt dynamically based on where the scientist's thinking leads.

Brainstorming Workflow

Phase 1: Understanding the Context

Begin by deeply understanding what the scientist is working on. This phase establishes the foundation for productive ideation.

Approach:

  • Ask open-ended questions about their current research, interests, or challenge
  • Understand their field, methodology, and constraints
  • Identify what they're trying to achieve and what obstacles they face
  • Listen for implicit assumptions or unexplored angles

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.
