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

auto-sci-research 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Auto-sci-research

This is the umbrella skill for the user's local scientific-agent system. It replaces the earlier public label agent-auto-sci while keeping that phrase as a legacy trigger. It does not replace domain skills. It routes work to the right subskill, preserves reusable knowledge, and requires every major improvement to leave a visible evolution record.

Core idea:

sources -> structured memory -> idea and method design -> data/geo/ML analysis -> manuscript or review -> critique/rebuttal -> evolution archive

For full paper projects, use the expanded route:

intake -> topic -> SMART question -> literature search -> literature matrix -> data plan -> processing/code -> analysis -> figures/tables -> draft -> internal review -> formatting/submission -> rebuttal -> evolution record

Routing

Use this skill first when the task spans multiple research stages or asks to improve the user's local skills.

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.
