Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00471 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00235 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
co-scientist-install 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.
What it actually says
co-scientist-install
Goal:
- Explain or execute the project-local Co-Scientist skill installation flow for Claude Code users.
Expected input:
- no arguments for the standard install path
- or a user request to reconcile or uninstall the project-local install
Execution steps:
-
If the user wants a fresh install, tell them to run one of:
uvquick install:uv sync --extra dev --extra mcp pnpm --dir apps/dashboard install pnpm --dir apps/dashboard build powershell -File tools/install/install_co_scientist.ps1conda/pippath:conda create -n co-scientist python=3.12 -y conda activate co-scientist python -m pip install -e ".[dev,mcp]" pnpm --dir apps/dashboard install pnpm --dir apps/dashboard build powershell -File tools/install/install_co_scientist.ps1bash tools/install/install_co_scientist.sh -
If the user wants to refresh an existing project-local install, use:
powershell -File tools/install/install_co_scientist.ps1 -Reconcile -
If the user wants to remove the managed project-local install, use:
powershell -File tools/install/install_co_scientist.ps1 -Uninstall -
After install or reconcile, recommend:
uv run python -m tools.host.project_cli doctor -
Return a short summary of:
- what command to run
- what files should appear (
.claude/skills/,.co-scientist/installed-skills.json) - how to validate the environment with
doctor
Rules:
- Treat
skills/as canonical and.claude/skills/as the project-local Claude Code mirror. - Do not ask the user to edit
CLAUDE.md; the installer manages its own project-local surface. - Prefer
doctorafter installation instead of assuming the environment is ready.
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.

co-scientist-install is a skill published in the GitHub repository panjose/Co-Scientist (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 471 tokens. 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.
