scientific-critical-thinking

scientific-critical-thinking is a skill for Claude Code from LuizEduPP/Rememb. It costs 41 tokens per session (4,841 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scientific-critical-thinking, MIT.

A method for judging the quality of scientific claims and research evidence. It examines study design, statistics, bias, confounding factors, and how strongly the evidence supports a conclusion.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing research papers, assessing experiments, grading evidence, analysing bias, and supporting systematic reviews or meta-analyses.
Why use it?
It helps identify weak methods, hidden influences, and conclusions that go beyond what a study actually shows.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png.

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-critical-thinking 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 6d 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 Critical Thinking

Overview

Critical thinking is a systematic process for evaluating scientific rigor. Assess methodology, experimental design, statistical validity, biases, confounding, and evidence quality using GRADE and Cochrane ROB frameworks. Apply this skill for critical analysis of scientific claims.

When to Use

This skill should be used when:

  • Evaluating research methodology and experimental design
  • Assessing statistical validity and evidence quality
  • Identifying biases and confounding in studies
  • Reviewing scientific claims and conclusions
  • Conducting systematic reviews or meta-analyses
  • Applying GRADE or Cochrane risk of bias assessments
  • Providing critical analysis of research papers

Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics

When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.

If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:

  • Use the scientific-schematics skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
  • Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
  • Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic

For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.

How to generate schematics:

python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png

The AI will automatically:

  • Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
  • Review and refine through multiple iterations
  • Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
  • Save outputs in the figures/ directory

When to add schematics:

  • Critical thinking framework diagrams
  • Bias identification decision trees
  • Evidence quality assessment flowcharts
  • GRADE assessment methodology diagrams
  • Risk of bias evaluation frameworks
  • Validity assessment visualizations
  • Any complex concept that benefits from visualization

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.
