revise

revise is a skill for Claude Code from tony/skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (696 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A correction record for a claim that a study previously treated as true but later evidence disproved.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps maintain an audit trail of retracted claims and document the evidence behind their replacements.
Why use it?
It preserves what was wrong, what supported it, and why it failed instead of silently erasing the error.

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

revise 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 4d 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 — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/scholar:revise

Something the study asserted turned out to be wrong. This records that, rather than quietly making it true.

User arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Why a correction is kept

A RETRACTED CLAIM IS WORTH MORE WRITTEN DOWN THAN DELETED

Deleting it does not delete it from anyone's memory. A figure that circulated and turned out to measure something else keeps being repeated by everyone who read it before the fix, and they have no way to learn otherwise unless the study says so.

The correction also carries information the replacement does not: knowing that a plausible reading of the evidence was wrong tells the next reader which plausible readings to distrust.

Procedure

1. Establish what is being overturned

Usually from /scholar:verify (a citation that no longer says what it was quoted as saying) or from /scholar:contest (a later round that killed an earlier verdict). Take the claim as it currently stands, verbatim.

2. Append to evidence/corrections.md

## <the term or claim>

**Was:** the claim as it stood, quoted exactly.

**Rested on:** the citation or measurement that supported it.

**Failed because:** what overturned it, cited or measured.

**Now:** the replacement claim, or a statement that the question is open.

Append. Never rewrite an existing correction — a correction that was itself wrong gets its own entry beneath.

3. Update the study

Change the affected row in terms.jsonl and the affected evidence document, then link the correction from the brief's section so a reader of the brief meets it.

Rules

  • Quote the old claim exactly. Paraphrasing a retraction is how a retraction becomes a second version of the original error.
  • A correction states what overturned the claim, with the same evidence tier the claim itself required. "This turned out to be wrong" is not a correction.
  • Where the replacement is "we do not know", say that. An open question is a legitimate resting state; a confident replacement invented to fill the hole is not.
  • Never delete a correction to tidy the document.

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.
