scicode-lint: Detecting Methodology Bugs in Scientific Python Code with LLM-Generated Patterns

Methodology bugs in scientific Python code produce plausible but incorrect results that traditional linters and static analysis tools cannot detect. Several research groups have built ML-specific linters, demonstrating that detection is feasible. Yet these tools share a sustainability problem: dependency on specific pylint or Python versions, limited packaging, and reliance on manual engineering for every new pattern. As AI-generated code increases the volume of scientific software, the need for automated methodology checking (such as detecting data leakage, incorrect cross-validation, and missing random seeds) grows. We present scicode-lint, whose two-tier architecture separates pattern ...
