Downloads education datasets from configured mirror sources (parquet/CSV) with local Polars filtering.

  • Writing fetch scripts
  • SKILL.md covers What This Skill Does, Reference File Structure, Mirror System Overview and Decision Trees, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve DataFrames

What it does

Education Data Query is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Downloads education datasets from configured mirror sources (parquet/CSV) with local Polars filtering. Use when writing fetch scripts or retrieving CCD, IPEDS, CRDC, SAIPE data. Load after education-data-explorer — retrieval here, not discovery.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/datasets-reference.md`, `references/fetch-patterns.md` and `references/filters-reference.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering DataFrames and CSV and tabular files. It works with Polars. 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

  • Writing fetch scripts
  • Tasks that involve DataFrames
  • Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files

Example prompts

  • “Use the education-data-query skill to download education datasets from configured mirror sources (parquet/CSV) with local Polars filtering”
  • “/education-data-query”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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 python).

    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

Education Data Query loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~21k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 920 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~21k

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 920 words (~2,790 tokens).

“Downloads education datasets from configured mirror sources (parquet or CSV) using priority-ordered fallback, with local Polars filtering. Use when writing Stage 5 fetch scripts, downloading a specific CCD, IPEDS, CRDC, SAIPE, or other education dataset by path, discovering which files…”
