What it does
Algorithm Designer is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Design and document statistical algorithms with pseudocode and complexity analysis
Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.backups/SKILL-2025-12-09T03-53-59-609Z.md`).
The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…
Example prompts
- “/algorithm-designer”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Purpose: What problem does this solve?
- Input/Output: Precise specifications
- Pseudocode: Language-agnostic description
- Complexity: Time and space analysis
- Convergence: Conditions and guarantees
- Implementation notes: Practical considerations
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. 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 r).
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
Algorithm Designer loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 572 words (~3,296 tokens).
“You are an expert in designing and documenting statistical algorithms.”

Questions about Algorithm Designer
What does Algorithm Designer do?
Design and document statistical algorithms with pseudocode and complexity analysis. Algorithm Designer is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills.
How do I install Algorithm Designer in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill algorithm-designer -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/26-Data-Wise-scholar/skills/implementation/algorithm-designer in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/algorithm-designer in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Algorithm Designer in Codex?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill algorithm-designer -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/26-Data-Wise-scholar/skills/implementation/algorithm-designer in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/algorithm-designer in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Algorithm Designer in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill algorithm-designer -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/algorithm-designer, .gemini/skills/algorithm-designer, .github/skills/algorithm-designer and .opencode/skills/algorithm-designer in your project.
What does Algorithm Designer need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Algorithm Designer is instructions for the agent only.
Does Algorithm Designer 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 Algorithm Designer 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 Algorithm Designer use?
Algorithm Designer has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Algorithm Designer use?
About 3.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 13k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Algorithm Designer?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Algorithm Designer: Frontend Slides (zarazhangrui/frontend-slides, 30k stars), Algorithmic Art with p5.js (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), Canvas Design (anthropics/skills, 180k stars) and Impeccable (bestofjs/bestofjs, 3.1k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Algorithm Designer?
brycewang-stanford (a GitHub user) maintains it in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, which has 4,517 GitHub stars. The repository holds 369 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 5, 2026.
