What it does

Statistical Experimental Evaluation is an agent skill from aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw. Design and run statistical experiments that test the formal problem, proposed methods, theoretical predictions, baselines, and ablations.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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

  • “/statistical-experimental-evaluation”

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 json).

    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

Statistical Experimental Evaluation loads about 553 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 103 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~553

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 Experimental Evaluation

Overview

Use this skill after formulation, method proposal, and theory. Experiments should test specific claims and theoretical predictions.

Experiment Plan

Define:

  • Conditions or data-generating processes
  • Real data source or synthetic data generator
  • Sample sizes, folds, repetitions, seeds, or resamples
  • Proposed method
  • Baselines
  • Ablations
  • Diagnostics
  • Metrics
  • Failure accounting

Required Artifacts

text
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/config.yaml
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/src/
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

Evidence Schema

Use a row-oriented metric format:

json
{
  "topic_id": "TXX",
  "metric_rows": [
    {
      "claim_id": "C1",
      "method": "proposed_method",
      "baseline": "standard_method",
      "condition": "stress_condition",
      "metric": "risk",
      "value": 0.12,
      "status": "ok"
    }
  ]
}

Claim verdicts should connect theory and experiments:

json
[
  {
    "claim_id": "C1",
    "verdict": "supported",
    "theory_support": "Proposition 1 under A1-A3",
    "experimental_support": "Proposed method has lower risk in conditions X-Y",
    "comparison": "Outperforms baseline B on metric M",
    "limitations": "Finite sample only; assumption A2 not tested"
  }
]

Evidence Rules

  • A metric must map to a formulated claim.
  • A comparison must use the same data conditions across methods.
  • Failed runs must be counted.
  • Runtime reductions must be recorded.
  • Results must be interpreted against theoretical predictions.
