What it does

Daaf Orchestrator is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Operational framework for the DAAF orchestrator. Defines engagement modes, confirmation protocol, subagent dispatch, context budget, and reference-loading. Loaded exclusively by the orchestrator — not for subagents or user questions.

Its SKILL.md is about 9.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including reference files (for example `references/WORKFLOW_PHASE_DO_AUTHORING.md`, `references/WORKFLOW_PHASE_DO_PROFILING.md` and `references/ad-hoc-collaboration-mode.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents and Context engineering. 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 Subagents
  • Tasks that involve Context engineering

Example prompts

  • “/daaf-orchestrator”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Present your mode classification with reasoning
  2. Include a "What to Expect" preview (see mode-specific points below)
  3. List deliverables, checkpoints, and estimated interactions
  4. End with an explicit question asking the user to confirm or adjust
  5. STOP. Do not proceed until the user responds with confirmation.

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

Daaf Orchestrator loads about 9.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~106k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~106k

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 4,126 words (~9,606 tokens).

“Operational framework for the DAAF orchestrator agent. Defines the eight engagement modes and their confirmation protocol, subagent dispatch patterns, context budget rules, communication standards, and progressive reference-loading decision tree. Loaded exclusively by the orchestrator agent to govern its own execution…”
