radiocarbon-dating

radiocarbon-dating is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xjtulyc/awesome-rosetta-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (6,995 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A toolkit for estimating the age of archaeological samples with radiocarbon, or carbon-14, dating. It calibrates dates against regional reference curves and models sequences using archaeological layering constraints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calibrate dates with IntCal20, SHCal20, or Marine20 curves, build Bayesian chronological models, and report uncertainty.
Why use it?
Raw radiocarbon results are not calendar dates and include uncertainty. This toolkit helps account for calibration, stratigraphy, and uncertainty when building age estimates.

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

radiocarbon-dating scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.

radiocarbon-dating is a skill published in the GitHub repository xjtulyc/awesome-rosetta-skills (34 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 6,995 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
