What it does
Cost Benefit is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Cost-benefit analysis. Produces economic NPV and financial NPV side by side, with BCR, optimism bias (with mitigation), Marginal Excess Tax Burden, real-terms rebasing, WELLBY / QALY / VPF wellbeing valuation, sensitivity, switching values, EANC for unequal-life options, validation gate, and a one-line headline verdict (socially worthwhile vs financially self-sustaining). Backed by the greenbook R package (HM Treasury Green Book primitives) when available, with graceful fallback. Supports HMT Green Book, EU…
Its SKILL.md is about 11k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.
It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile testing and debugging. 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 Mobile testing and debugging
Example prompts
- “/cost-benefit”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, AskUserQuestion, Skill
Workflow steps
11 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Detect computation backend (silent)
- Load project, options, costs, and benefits
- Compute (silent)
- Financial case (silent)
- Headline verdict (silent)
- Sensitivity (silent)
- Referent group identity check (silent, uk-gb and au-vic)
- 5: Validation gate (silent, abort on failure)
- Write the output
- 5: Sidecar JSON
- Auto-audit hook (default on)
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:
BashReadWriteGlobAskUserQuestionSkill
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
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
Cost Benefit loads about 11k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 158 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,981 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: 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: Bash, Read, Write, Glob, AskUserQuestion, Skill
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 3,981 words (~10,927 tokens).
“Only stop to ask the user when: project description is missing, there are fewer than 2 options (including do-nothing), or cost / benefit magnitudes cannot be estimated. Never stop to ask about: perspective, additionality rates, stakeholder tagging, sensitivity method, output…”
