synthetic-sciences/openscience is an AI workbench that carries out scientific research by reading papers, forming hypotheses, writing and running code, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and preparing reports. Researchers use it for work in machine learning, biology, physics, and chemistry with remote or local models. Catalogue add-ons extend its scientific workflows through skills and instructions.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00148 | $0.03696 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00059 | $0.01478 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00739 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00370 |
Grade A, and why
geomaster 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
83% identical to geomaster — 460 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Quick Start
NDVI from Sentinel-2
import rasterio
import numpy as np
with rasterio.open('sentinel2.tif') as src:
red = src.read(4).astype(float) # B04
nir = src.read(8).astype(float) # B08
ndvi = (nir - red) / (nir + red + 1e-8)
ndvi = np.nan_to_num(ndvi, nan=0)
profile = src.profile
profile.update(count=1, dtype=rasterio.float32)
with rasterio.open('ndvi.tif', 'w', **profile) as dst:
dst.write(ndvi.astype(rasterio.float32), 1)
Spatial Analysis with GeoPandas
import geopandas as gpd
# Load and ensure same CRS
zones = gpd.read_file('zones.geojson')
points = gpd.read_file('points.geojson')
if zones.crs != points.crs:
points = points.to_crs(zones.crs)
# Spatial join and statistics
joined = gpd.sjoin(points, zones, how='inner', predicate='within')
stats = joined.groupby('zone_id').agg({
'value': ['count', 'mean', 'std', 'min', 'max']
}).round(2)
Google Earth Engine Time Series
import ee
import pandas as pd
ee.Initialize(project='your-project')
roi = ee.Geometry.Point([-122.4, 37.7]).buffer(10000)
s2 = (ee.ImageCollection('COPERNICUS/S2_SR_HARMONIZED')
.filterBounds(roi)
.filterDate('2020-01-01', '2023-12-31')
.filter(ee.Filter.lt('CLOUDY_PIXEL_PERCENTAGE', 20)))
def add_ndvi(img):
return img.addBands(img.normalizedDifference(['B8', 'B4']).rename('NDVI'))
s2_ndvi = s2.map(add_ndvi)
def extract_series(image):
stats = image.reduceRegion(ee.Reducer.mean(), roi.centroid(), scale=10, maxPixels=1e9)
return ee.Feature(None, {'date': image.date().format('YYYY-MM-dd'), 'ndvi': stats.get('NDVI')})
series = s2_ndvi.map(extract_series).getInfo()
df = pd.DataFrame([f['properties'] for f in series['features']])
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])

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.

geomaster is a skill published in the GitHub repository synthetic-sciences/openscience (4,025 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 148 tokens to every session and 3,696 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 83% identical to geomaster, differing in 460 lines, and is treated as a copy.
