What it does
Ablation Planner is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Use when main results pass result-to-claim (claimsupported=yes or partial) and ablation studies are needed for paper submission. Codex designs ablations from a reviewer's perspective, CC reviews feasibility and implements.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.
When your agent uses it
- Main results pass result-to-claim (claimsupported=yes
- Partial) and ablation studies are needed for paper submission
Example prompts
- “/ablation-planner”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, mcp__codex__codex, mcp__codex__codex-reply
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Prepare Context
- Codex Designs Ablations
- Parse Ablation Plan
- CC Reviews Feasibility
- Implement and Run
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash(*)ReadGrepGlobWriteEditmcp__codex__codexmcp__codex__codex-reply
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Ablation Planner loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 319 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, mcp__codex__codex, mcp__codex__codex-reply
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 319 words (~1,288 tokens).

What does Ablation Planner do?
A skill your agent uses when main results pass result-to-claim (claimsupported=yes or partial) and ablation studies are needed for paper submission. Ablation Planner is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Use when main results pass result-to-claim (claimsupported=yes or partial) and ablation studies are needed for paper submission.
When should I use Ablation Planner?
Ablation Planner fits situations like: main results pass result-to-claim (claimsupported=yes; partial) and ablation studies are needed for paper submission.
How do I install Ablation Planner in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add AI4Scientist/nano-scientist --skill ablation-planner -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ablation-planner in AI4Scientist/nano-scientist) into .claude/skills/ablation-planner in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Ablation Planner in Codex?
Run `npx skills add AI4Scientist/nano-scientist --skill ablation-planner -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ablation-planner in AI4Scientist/nano-scientist) into .agents/skills/ablation-planner in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Ablation Planner in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
