What it does

Stat Result Validator is an agent skill from aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw. Validate statistical research outputs for formulation quality, method-to- problem alignment, theory presence, experimental evidence, fair comparison, artifact completeness, and final-claim consistency.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 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-result-validator”

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.

    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 Result Validator loads about 951 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~951

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.

Stat Result Validator

Overview

Use this skill after formulation, method proposal, theory, experimental evaluation, comparison, and result synthesis. It checks whether the final result is supported by a coherent statistical research chain.

Artifact Checks

Required for all topics:

text
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step0_problem_formulation.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step1_method_proposal.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step2_theory_analysis.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step3_experimental_evaluation.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step4_comparison.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step5_result_synthesis.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step6_quality_audit.md
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/config.yaml
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/metrics.json
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/run_manifest.json
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/comparison_summary.md
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/claim_verdicts.json
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/report/paper.md
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/README.md

Analysis-specific source files and raw outputs are determined by the experiment plan and should live under experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/src/ and experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/.

Formulation Checks

The formulation must define:

  • Observed data and sampling regime
  • Data model or data source
  • Target parameter, decision, prediction, or risk
  • Assumptions
  • Claims or hypotheses
  • Evaluation criteria
  • Theory targets

Blocking failures:

  • No target or estimand.
  • Claims cannot be measured.
  • Assumptions are absent or incompatible with the proposed method.
  • Evaluation criteria do not answer the research question.

Method Checks

Verify that:

  • The proposed method addresses the formulated target.
  • Baselines are meaningful.
  • Ablations isolate important design choices.
  • Diagnostics are specified for likely failure modes.
  • Method outputs match the metrics and theory targets.

Theory Checks

Theory may be rigorous or partial, but it must be explicit.

Check for:

  • Definitions and assumptions.
  • Proposition, theorem, derivation, counterexample, or clearly labeled heuristic analysis.
  • Predicted empirical patterns.
  • Limitations and regimes not covered.

Blocking failures:

  • No theory section at all.
  • Theory analyzes a different target than the formulation.
  • Final claims are stronger than the theory supports.

Experimental Evidence Checks

Check that:

  • Experiments test the formulated claims.
  • Conditions are aligned with assumptions and stress tests.
  • Proposed method, baselines, and ablations are run on comparable conditions.
  • Failure counts are recorded.
  • Runtime reductions are recorded in run_manifest.json.
  • Metrics are grouped at the right level.

Comparison Checks

Verify that:

  • Comparisons include proposed method vs baseline.
  • Ablations are interpreted.
  • Experimental patterns are compared with theoretical predictions.
  • Disagreements between theory and experiments are discussed.
  • Claim verdicts cite both theoretical and empirical support when available.

Final Claim Checks

Every final claim must be traceable to:

text
formulation -> method -> theory -> experiment -> comparison

Use:

  • PASS: formulation, theory, experiments, and comparisons support the claims.
  • WARN: usable but has limitations that must be disclosed.
  • FAIL: missing formulation, theory, evidence, or fair comparison prevents a valid conclusion.
