What it does
Economist Data Skill is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Guide economists to authoritative data sources with explicit, confirmed data specifications before retrieval; interfaces with Playwright MCP to navigate portals and extract real data, not articles about data.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k 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 Testing & QA, covering Browser testing. It works with Playwright and Model Context Protocol. 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 Browser testing
Example prompts
- “/economist-data-skill”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Price Basis
- Seasonal Adjustment
- Frequency
- Currency (for monetary values)
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 csv, r, python and stata).
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

rug.nldataverse.harvard.edudata.worldbank.orgdata.oecd.orgopenicpsr.orgnber.orgfred.stlouisfed.orgbea.govbls.govdata.census.govimf.orgdata.imf.orgec.europa.eudata.ecb.europa.eu
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
Economist Data Skill loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,144 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 1,144 words (~4,488 tokens).
“A Claude skill for economists that ensures rigorous data decisions and directs users only to authoritative sources. Interfaces with Playwright MCP for web data retrieval.”
