At a glance

Analyze theoretical properties of statistical methods under the formal formulation: identifiability, bias, variance, consistency, asymptotics, coverage, error bounds, robustness, and limitations.

  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Theory Outputs, Theorem Template and Experimental Predictions
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Statistical Theory Analysis is an agent skill from aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw. Analyze theoretical properties of statistical methods under the formal formulation: identifiability, bias, variance, consistency, asymptotics, coverage, error bounds, robustness, and limitations.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 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-theory-analysis”

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

Statistical Theory Analysis loads about 375 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 102 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
~375

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 Theory Analysis

Overview

Use this skill after method proposal and before final experimental comparison. Theory is required as a stage even if the final output is a simulation paper.

Theory Outputs

Depending on the topic, provide:

  • Identifiability argument
  • Bias or variance calculation
  • Consistency statement
  • Asymptotic distribution
  • Coverage or calibration argument
  • Risk or error bound
  • Robustness analysis
  • Sensitivity or impossibility result
  • Counterexample showing failure outside assumptions

Theorem Template

markdown
## Proposition
Under assumptions A1-Ak, method M satisfies ...

## Proof Sketch
1. ...
2. ...
3. ...

## Interpretation
This predicts that ...

## Limitations
The result does not cover ...

Experimental Predictions

Every theoretical claim should produce an empirical prediction when possible:

  • Direction of metric change
  • Condition under which the method should improve
  • Stress condition under which it should fail
  • Baseline it should outperform

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/statistical-theory-analysis, .gemini/skills/statistical-theory-analysis, .github/skills/statistical-theory-analysis and .opencode/skills/statistical-theory-analysis in your project.

What does Statistical Theory Analysis need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Statistical Theory Analysis is instructions for the agent only.

Does Statistical Theory Analysis access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Statistical Theory Analysis safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Statistical Theory Analysis use?

Statistical Theory Analysis is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Statistical Theory Analysis use?

About 375 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
