What it does

Aistats Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing AISTATS experiments, simulations, baselines, statistical tests, uncertainty estimates, ablations, random seeds, hyperparameters, compute, dataset handling, and claim-to-evidence fit, with emphasis on experiments that validate theorems rather than chase leaderboards.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Auditing AISTATS experiments
  • Statistical tests
  • Uncertainty estimates
  • Hyperparameters

Example prompts

  • “/aistats-experiments”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. 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

Aistats Experiments loads about 880 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 367 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~880

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.

AISTATS Experiments

Use this before submission when the empirical or simulation story is not yet locked.

Experiment audit

  • Map each empirical claim to a table, figure, simulation, ablation, or robustness check.
  • Include baselines that represent both ML practice and relevant statistical methods.
  • Separate synthetic simulations that validate assumptions from real-data experiments that show practical relevance.
  • Report uncertainty for stochastic results: repeated runs, standard errors, confidence intervals, paired tests, or bootstrap intervals when appropriate.
  • Report dataset splits, preprocessing, metrics, hyperparameter search ranges, final chosen settings, selection criteria, random seeds, hardware, software versions, and runtime.
  • Add ablations for the mechanism, not just cosmetic variants.
  • Audit for leakage, selection bias, multiple-comparison issues, and mismatch between theoretical assumptions and empirical setup.

What experiments are for at this venue

  • AISTATS experiments exist to validate theory, not to win leaderboards. One focused simulation confirming a predicted rate outweighs five extra benchmark datasets.
  • The strongest design triad: a synthetic study where assumptions hold exactly, a study where they are deliberately violated, and a real-data study showing practical behavior.
  • Reviewers, frequently statisticians, check whether the empirical regime — sample size, dimension, noise level — matches the asymptotic regime of the theorems. A bound proven as n grows but tested only at n = 500 invites the question of relevance.

Vignette: a kernel conditional independence test

Suppose the paper proves finite-sample type-I error control under a boundedness assumption. The matching plan: simulate under the null at several sample sizes to verify size, sweep dependence strength for power curves, then inject heavy-tailed noise that breaks boundedness to map degradation — every panel tied to a numbered theorem or remark.

Statistical reporting floor

  • Replication counts and seeds for every stochastic figure; captions must say whether bars are standard errors, confidence intervals, or quantiles.
  • Report the compute actually consumed rather than vague feasibility language.
