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

co-scientist-params 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.

What it actually says

co-scientist-params

Goal:

  • Show the user the available high-level start parameters for Co-Scientist.

When to use:

  • The user asks what knobs or parameters are available.
  • The user asks how /co-scientist-start can be configured.
  • The user wants the expert-facing parameter table instead of the short guided intake.

Execution steps:

  1. Run:

    python -m tools.host.claude_project_cli params
    
  2. If the user explicitly wants machine-readable output, run:

    python -m tools.host.claude_project_cli params --format json
    
  3. Present the parameter surface in this order:

    • core axes
    • advanced axes
    • utility flags only when relevant
  4. Use ../../shared-references/start-parameters.md as the canonical contract for names, defaults, and meanings.

Rules:

  • Lead with the core axes and defaults rather than dumping every possible flag immediately.
  • Do not expose low-level mechanics settings such as num_debaters, elo_k_factor, or ucb_exploration_constant as user-facing start parameters.
  • If the user only wants to begin a run, route back to /co-scientist-start after answering the parameter question.
Changes

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-params 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 270 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.
