Claude Scientific Writer is an AI-assisted research and writing tool that searches literature and produces documents such as scientific papers, reports, posters, grant proposals, and reviews with citations. Researchers and technical writers can use it as a Claude Code plugin, Python package, or command-line tool, with the catalogue entries defining agent workflows for it.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00053 | $0.02693 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01347 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00539 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00269 |
Grade A, and why
market-research-reports 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 13d 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.
This is a copy
92% identical to market-research-reports — 19 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Market Research Reports
Purpose
Create decision-focused market reports whose claims, calculations, assumptions, and uncertainties can be audited. Match depth and format to the question and evidence. There is no required length, chapter count, visual count, or output format.
Do not:
- imitate or imply affiliation with a consulting, analyst, or research brand;
- invent citations, quotes, market shares, or paid-market figures;
- present TAM/SAM/SOM or a forecast as one certain truth;
- treat a framework, chart, or fluent narrative as evidence;
- provide investment, legal, antitrust, tax, accounting, or regulatory advice.
Operating principles
- Define before sizing. Fix product, customer, geography, channel, period, measure, unit, denominator, currency/base year, and taxonomy.
- Map every claim. Every factual or quantitative claim has a claim ID and exact source IDs.
- Separate statement types. Distinguish facts, estimates, calculations, forecasts, opinions, and recommendations.
- Prefer primary evidence. Use official statistics, regulator records, filed company disclosures, and transparent original studies before secondary synthesis.
- Preserve uncertainty. Retain source conflicts, revisions, scenario ranges, sensitivity, and limitations.
- Keep methods reproducible. Use local structured inputs and deterministic calculations when practical.
- Collect lawfully and ethically. No deception, PII disclosure, access circumvention, confidential material, or trade-secret acquisition.
Workflow
1. Establish the research contract
Clarify:
- decision, audience, deadline, and materiality threshold;
- formal market definition and adjacent exclusions;
- buyer, payer, user, transaction, and value-chain level;
- geography and treatment of imports, exports, and channels;
- historical period, forecast period, and retrieval cutoff;
- revenue/expenditure, gross output/value added, units, capacity, users, or another measure;
- stock/flow, gross/net, taxes, and denominator;
- currency, base year, and nominal/real/current/constant basis;
- industry and product classification with version;
- permitted data sources, primary research, confidentiality, and output format.

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.

market-research-reports is a skill published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer (2,327 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,693 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to market-research-reports, differing in 19 lines, and is treated as a copy.
