What it does

E1 is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. E1-Quantitative Analysis Guide with Code Generation & Sensitivity Analysis VS-Enhanced with Full 5-Phase process: Avoids obvious analyses, explores innovative methodologies Expanded to include qualitative analysis (thematic, grounded theory, content, narrative) Absorbed E4 (Analysis Code Generator) and E5 (Sensitivity Analysis - Primary Study) capabilities Use when: selecting statistical/qualitative methods, interpreting results, checking assumptions, generating code, sensitivity analysis Triggers: statistical…

Its SKILL.md is about 9.3k 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 Data & Analytics, covering Statistics and Experimental design. 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

  • : selecting statistical/qualitative methods
  • Interpreting results
  • Checking assumptions
  • Generating code

Example prompts

  • “/e1”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Context Collection (MANDATORY)
  2. Modal Analysis Method Identification
  3. Long-Tail Analysis Method Sampling
  4. Low-Typicality Selection
  5. Execution
  6. Suitability Verification
  7. Suitability Verification

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 yaml, markdown, r and python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • qsrinternational.com
    • atlasti.com
    • maxqda.com
    • dedoose.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

E1 loads about 9.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 199 tokens; SKILL.md has 938 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~199
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9.3k

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 938 words (~9,328 tokens).

“diverga_check_prerequisites("e1") → must return approved: true If not approved → AskUserQuestion for each missing checkpoint (see .claude/references/checkpoint-templates.md)”

What does E1 do?

E1-Quantitative Analysis Guide with Code Generation & Sensitivity Analysis VS-Enhanced with Full 5-Phase process: Avoids obvious analyses, explores innovative methodologies Expanded to include…. E1 is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills.

When should I use E1?

E1 fits situations like: : selecting statistical/qualitative methods; interpreting results; checking assumptions; generating code.

How do I install E1 in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill e1 -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/25-HosungYou-Diverga/skills/e1 in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/e1 in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install E1 in Codex?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill e1 -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/25-HosungYou-Diverga/skills/e1 in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/e1 in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use E1 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 e1 -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/e1, .gemini/skills/e1, .github/skills/e1 and .opencode/skills/e1 in your project.

What does E1 need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: E1 is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does E1 access the network?

SKILL.md names 4 domains. As links in the text: qsrinternational.com, atlasti.com, maxqda.com and dedoose.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is E1 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 E1 use?

E1 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 E1 use?

About 9.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 37k 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 E1?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with E1: Analyze Stats (Aperivue/medsci-skills, 331 stars), Statistical Power (spacering-net/codeg, 3.9k stars), Statistical Data Analysis (lingzhi227/agent-research-skills, 386 stars) and Q-EDA Exploratory Analysis (TyrealQ/q-skills, 108 stars).
