Validate the replication package for the sewage-house-prices project.

  • Works in 4 steps: Locate Package → Run 10 Verification Checks → Handle Failures → …
  • Tasks that involve Reproducible research
  • SKILL.md covers Project-Specific Context, Workflow and Principles
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Audit Replication is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Validate the replication package for the sewage-house-prices project. Runs 10 checks covering script execution, file integrity, output freshness, dependency verification, data provenance, and README completeness (AEA format). This skill should be used when asked to "audit replication", "check the package", or "verify reproducibility".

Its SKILL.md is about 980 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 Research & Science, covering Reproducible research, Econometrics and empirical research and Database administration. It works with Python. 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…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Reproducible research
  • Tasks that involve Econometrics and empirical research
  • Tasks that involve Database administration

Example prompts

  • “audit replication”
  • “check the package”
  • “verify reproducibility”
  • “/audit-replication”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Bash, Agent

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate Package
  2. Run 10 Verification Checks
  3. Handle Failures
  4. Present Results

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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Write
    • Bash
    • Agent

    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

Audit Replication loads about 984 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 332 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~984

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Bash, Agent

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 332 words (~984 tokens).

“Run end-to-end validation of the replication package for the sewage-house-prices project.”
