What is scientific-writing?

A guide for drafting, revising, and checking scientific papers or reports. It emphasizes traceable evidence, reporting guidelines, responsible authorship, confidentiality, and consistency checks.

Use it for manuscript sections, references, declarations, tables, figures, and preparing scientific work for submission.

It helps keep polished writing separate from verified evidence, so unsupported claims, invented references, privacy breaches, and unclear author responsibility are less likely.

How K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer configures Claude Code

About the project

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.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00060	$0.02746
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.01373
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00549
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00275

Security

Grade A, and why

scientific-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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/_common.py, scripts/audit_claims.py, scripts/check_consistency.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 357 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scientific Writing

Purpose

Produce clear scientific prose without inventing evidence or concealing uncertainty. Keep drafting, evidence verification, and submission approval as separate stages.

The accountable human authors control scientific decisions and final approval. AI is not an author, and generated fluency is never evidence [SW-S01, SW-S03].

Non-negotiable safety rules

Confidentiality

Do not send unpublished manuscripts, peer-review or editorial material, sensitive or restricted data, PHI or other personal data, proprietary content, or source documents to an external service without:

explicit authorization from a person or body empowered to grant it; and
a documented review of journal, institutional, funder, consent, ethics, contractual, legal, and data-use policy.

When authorization or policy is unclear, keep processing local and use only the minimum metadata needed. De-identification requires expert review; removing obvious names is not sufficient. See references/authorship_ai_confidentiality.md.

No fabrication

Never invent or complete:

citations, references, DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, URLs, or quotations;
results, data values, denominators, sample sizes, units, effect estimates, uncertainty, statistical tests, or significance claims;
methods, materials, protocol details, software versions, analysis choices, or deviations;
registrations, approvals, consent, ethics statements, participant details, or dates;
authors, author order, CRediT roles, acknowledgments, or permissions;
funding, sponsor roles, conflicts, data or code availability, or AI disclosures.

Use an explicit missing, unverified, or not-applicable state. Do not substitute plausible boilerplate.

Evidence binding

Every factual or numeric manuscript claim must map to verified evidence IDs. A human verifier must open the source, confirm the proposition and locator, verify bibliographic metadata, and record who verified it and when.

Search snippets, generated summaries, memory, and another work's bibliography may aid discovery but do not verify a claim. See references/evidence_workflow.md.

Changes

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.
