science-integrity

A checking agent for scientific simulations. It reviews simulation descriptions and results for correct units, stable calculations, obeyed conservation laws, matching figures, and claims supported by the output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when producing a SimSpec, which is a structured description of a simulation, or when reviewing simulation code, telemetry, figures, and scientific claims.
Why use it?
A simulation can run successfully while still using the wrong equations, units, or conclusions. These checks help catch such errors before they are accepted.

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

science-integrity 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 15 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/anti_hardcode_check.py, scripts/build_provenance.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.

science-integrity

The critic. The thing JutulGPT does not have. The reason a Mobius simulator is trustworthy and a vibe-coded one is not.

1. Philosophy — parallel critic, not serial reviewer

Mobius generates code. Generated code is a hypothesis. A hypothesis without an external falsifier is just a guess in a costume. JutulGPT (arXiv 2603.00214, §6.1) admits this directly: their authoritative arbiter is the simulator itself — if it runs, the answer is "physically valid". This is a category error. A simulator that converges on the wrong PDE, with wrong units, drifting energy, and producing a figure that does not match the paper is still convergent. The simulator certifies numerical health, not paper agreement.

The science-integrity skill is the second arbiter. It runs in parallel with the simulator (not after it as a unit test), it observes the SimSpec at construction time and the telemetry at execution time, and it speaks back to upstream generators in a structured language they can react to. Five orthogonal checks, none of which the simulator-as-arbiter pattern catches:

  1. Units — SimSpec contains a constant E = 1.6e-19 declared in eV but used in code as J. Simulator runs cleanly. Output is wrong by 6.24e18×. Only a unit-aware verifier catches this.
  2. CFLdt, dx, and c_max jointly violate the Courant condition. Simulator either explodes (caught) or, with implicit smoothing, silently dampens the wave (not caught — this is the dangerous case).
  3. Conservation — Hamiltonian SimSpec, no dissipation term, energy drifts 2% per period. Simulator converges; physics is broken.
  4. Figure-diff — paper Fig 3 shows a 2-peak interference pattern; sim renders 4 peaks (slit count off-by-one). Simulator is happy. The user is looking at a different experiment.
  5. Claim-match — paper claims "visibility 0.78 at λ=500 nm". Sim measures 0.31. Simulator does not know the paper exists.

These five layers, run together, do not exist anywhere in the agentic-simulation literature as of April 2026 (verified: JutulGPT, MooseAgent, AutoMOOSE, ChatCFD, FeaGPT, MCP-SIM, InteractScience, ChronoLLM — none combine an external SimSpec verifier + paper-figure VLM diff + paper-claim numerical comparator). This skill is the moat.

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.

science-integrity is a skill published in the GitHub repository leventilo/mobius (9 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 8,653 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 2026-08-31.
