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 10d 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 — 189 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.

Deliverable-first precedence

Route by the current deliverable, not by topic keywords alone. Green exposure, heat exposure, urban health, spatial equity, accessibility, and SHAP can occur in either a literature review or an empirical manuscript, so they do not select the writing owner by themselves.

  • External literature synthesis, review corpus construction, paper-level extraction, Evidence Trace, cross-paper synthesis, conflicting evidence, heterogeneity, literature gaps, review coding, or review drafting routes to sport-geography-review-bibliometric. If the review type or domain route is still undecided, place urban-exposure-review-radar-workflow before it.
  • The user's own data/method/results manuscript drafting or revision routes through agent-auto-sci-scicomm as the argument owner, with sport-geography-sci-writing added as the domain writing helper when applicable. Add geospatial, ML, data-viz, or methodology helpers only when the immediate deliverable requires them.
  • For mixed tasks, choose the owner for the current handoff. A frozen empirical Results/Discussion remains scientifically bounded by sport-geography-sci-writing when applicable, while agent-auto-sci-scicomm coordinates the argument handoff; review skills may be helpers and must not take over. Do not load both domain owners merely because the topic contains literature and empirical terms; make a later handoff explicit when the deliverable changes.
  • If the immediate deliverable is only review evidence structure and explicitly says not to write prose, do not add sport-geography-sci-writing, scipilot-writing-skill, or agent-auto-sci-scicomm as primary owners.

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.
