co-scientist-validate

co-scientist-validate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from panjose/Co-Scientist. It costs 0 tokens per session (183 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for checking whether a Co-Scientist research run is ready or valid.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a run folder to validate a new run or resume validation, then read the result without changing the run files.
Why use it?
It avoids judging a run by hand and keeps the project's validator as the source of truth.

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-validate 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-validate

Goal:

  • Validate one Co-Scientist run directory from Claude Code.

Expected input:

  • one run directory such as runs/test1

Execution steps:

  1. Resolve the run directory.

  2. Decide whether the user wants a fresh-run validation or a resume validation.

  3. Run one of:

    python -m tools.validation.contract_validation <run-dir> --skill co-scientist-pipeline
    

    or

    python -m tools.validation.contract_validation <run-dir> --resume --skill co-scientist-pipeline
    
  4. Read and summarize the validation result without rewriting the run artifacts unless the user asked for a fix.

Rules:

  • This entry skill is a thin Claude Code surface over tools.validation.contract_validation.
  • Keep the validator as the source of truth for run readiness.

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.
