Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Claude Code, Skill

Sci Paper

Scientific paper writing, source-traced review, and de-AI rewriting for top-tier journals (ApJ/MNRAS/PRD/JCAP-class) and NSF/NIH proposals.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 9 numpy>=1.20 # learned feature vectors, caches, and rewrite scoring

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    tools/fetch_arxiv_abstracts.py, line 165 with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=timeout) as response:

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    tools/build_profile.py, line 39 proc = subprocess.run(cmd, cwd=REPO_ROOT)

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.

  • Install and update

    Concern
