What it does
Cross National Design is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Design cross-national survey experiments: power, equivalence, localization.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `reference/example-4-country-immigration.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization. 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 Internationalization
Example prompts
- “/cross-national-design”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Case Selection and Theoretical Justification
- Instrument Localization
- Composition and Origin Country Selection
- Cross-National Power and Error Management
- Cross-National Analytical Strategy
- 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.
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
Cross National Design loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,266 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 2,266 words (~4,591 tokens).
“Related skills. This skill composes with hypothesis-building (per-country predictions and estimands), survey-design (question wording, acquiescence, sensitivity), conjoint-design (origin-country stimuli, power), methods-reporting (per-country CONSORT, APSA/JARS/DA-RT), and pre-registration-writing (study-level PAP with per-country tiers).”
