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 | $0.00043 | $0.02465 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00986 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00493 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00247 |
Grade A, and why
scholar-evaluation 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 28d 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
91% identical to scholar-evaluation — 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 314 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scholar Evaluation
Purpose
Provide developmental, evidence-traceable feedback on a scholarly work: paper, draft, protocol, literature synthesis, or research idea. Use qualitative judgment first. Optional scores only describe how submitted evidence maps to a predeclared bounded rubric.
This skill also audits whether a low-stakes assessment process documents its construct, provenance, rater quality, uncertainty, traceability, sensitivity, fairness, accessibility, privacy, and human governance.
Hard safety boundary
Never use this skill to automate, recommend, materially influence, or score:
- hiring, promotion, or tenure;
- admissions;
- grants or other funding;
- prizes, honors, or awards;
- discipline, dismissal, or sanctions; or
- any other high-impact personnel decision.
Never rank people. Never reduce a person to a composite score. Never infer ability, character, integrity, protected traits, future performance, or worth. A nominal human-in-the-loop does not remove this boundary.
If asked for a prohibited use, stop. Offer developmental comments on a scholarly work or a process-only audit that does not process applications, compare people, recommend an outcome, or advise a decision.
Do not issue publication-readiness, accept/reject, or “top-tier” judgments.
Read references/responsible_assessment.md before any organizational use.
ScholarEval status
The referenced ScholarEval project is an experimental literature-grounded research-idea evaluation framework, not validated psychometrics.
The verified primary record is Moussa et al., ScholarEval: Research Idea Evaluation Grounded in Literature, arXiv:2510.16234v2, revised 2026-02-28. It reports a retrieval-augmented soundness/contribution framework, a 117-idea four-discipline dataset, coverage experiments, and a user study.
Do not generalize those results to person assessment, consequential decisions,
all disciplines, or this skill's rubric. No peer-reviewed publication status
was verified during the dated review. See references/source_ledger.md.

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.

scholar-evaluation is a skill published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer (2,530 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 2,465 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to scholar-evaluation, differing in 19 lines, and is treated as a copy.
