NACUBO endowment data (~650 institutions, 2012-2022). An agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills.

  • Endowment size/trends
  • SKILL.md covers What is NACUBO?, Reference File Structure, Decision Trees and Quick Reference: NACUBO Data, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Education Data Source Nacubo is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. NACUBO endowment data (~650 institutions, 2012-2022). Portal: 7 columns only (total endowment, per-FTE, YoY change). Use for endowment size/trends. Full investment/spending needs direct NACUBO access. For all-institution coverage use IPEDS finance.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/asset-allocation.md`, `references/data-quality.md` and `references/endowment-metrics.md`).

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

  • Endowment size/trends

Example prompts

  • “/education-data-source-nacubo”

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

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

    • nacubo.org

    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 Source Nacubo loads about 4.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~16k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,452 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~16k

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 1,452 words (~4,068 tokens).

“NACUBO endowment data for U.S. college and university endowments (~650 institutions). Portal mirror provides only 7 market-value columns (total endowment, per-FTE endowment, year-over-year change; 2012-2022). Use when analyzing institution-level endowment size or trends. Full investment returns, asset allocations, spending rates…”
