What it does

Stat Research Orchestrator is an agent skill from aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw. Orchestrate a statistical research pipeline centered on formal problem formulation, method proposal, theoretical analysis, experimental evaluation, comparison, and final result synthesis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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: Fully autonomous & self-evolving research from idea to paper. Chat an Idea. Get a Paper. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/stat-research-orchestrator”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Invoke stat-problem-formulator
  2. Invoke stat-method-proposer
  3. Invoke stat-theory-analyzer
  4. Invoke stat-experiment-designer
  5. Invoke stat-comparison-analyst
  6. Invoke stat-result-synthesizer
  7. Invoke stat-quality-auditor

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be4ba47. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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

Stat Research Orchestrator loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 325 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Statistical Research Orchestrator

Overview

Coordinates the full statistical research pipeline. This is not a code-first benchmark workflow. The pipeline begins with formal problem formulation and requires theory before final comparisons and conclusions.

Full Pipeline

text
Topic prompt / topic file / dataset description
  -> [stat-problem-formulator]   formal problem, notation, assumptions, targets
  -> [stat-method-proposer]      proposed method, baselines, diagnostics, ablations
  -> [stat-theory-analyzer]      theoretical properties, proof sketches, predictions
  -> [stat-experiment-designer]  experiments, code, metrics, manifest
  -> [stat-comparison-analyst]   method comparison, theory-vs-experiment check
  -> [stat-result-synthesizer]   final report, conclusions, limitations
  -> [stat-quality-auditor]      formulation/theory/evidence audit

Workflow

Step 0: Invoke stat-problem-formulator

Provide the topic source and any requirements. Wait for:

text
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step0_problem_formulation.md

Read:

  • Formal data model
  • Target parameter or decision target
  • Assumptions
  • Hypotheses or claims
  • Evaluation criteria
  • Theory targets

Do not proceed if the target or assumptions are undefined.

Step 1: Invoke stat-method-proposer

Provide the problem formulation. Wait for:

text
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step1_method_proposal.md

Read:

  • Proposed method
  • Baselines
  • Oracle references, if any
  • Ablations
  • Diagnostics
  • Implementation requirements
Step 2: Invoke stat-theory-analyzer

Provide the formulation and method proposal. Wait for:

text
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step2_theory_analysis.md

Read:

  • Theoretical claims
  • Required assumptions
  • Proof sketches or derivations
  • Predicted empirical patterns
  • Limitations

Theory can be partial, but the report must honestly label what is proven, heuristic, or only experimentally supported.

Step 3: Invoke stat-experiment-designer

Provide formulation, method, and theory. Wait for:

text
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step3_experimental_evaluation.md

Read:

  • Config path
  • Code paths
  • Metrics
  • Manifest
  • Raw results
  • Runtime deviations
Step 4: Invoke stat-comparison-analyst

Provide theory predictions and experiment outputs. Wait for:

text
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step4_comparison.md

Read:

  • Comparison summary
  • Figures and tables
  • Claim verdicts
  • Theory-experiment agreements and disagreements
Step 5: Invoke stat-result-synthesizer

Provide all previous artifacts. Wait for:

text
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step5_result_synthesis.md

Read:

  • Paper path
  • README path
  • Final claims
  • Limitations
Step 6: Invoke stat-quality-auditor

Audit the whole research chain:

  • Was the problem formulated formally?
  • Does the method address that formulation?
  • Is there theory or an explicit reason theory is limited?
  • Do experiments test theoretical predictions?
  • Are comparisons fair?
  • Are final conclusions supported?

Key Conventions

  • Formulation is the gatekeeper. Do not write code before the target, assumptions, and evaluation criteria are explicit.
  • Theory is required as a pipeline stage. If no theorem is possible, write a clear heuristic or negative analysis and explain why.
  • Experiments should test theoretical predictions, not merely produce numbers.
  • Comparisons must include meaningful baselines or ablations.
  • Final results must connect formulation, method, theory, experiments, and comparison.
