What it does

Facct Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing ACM FAccT empirical work — quantitative fairness audits with disaggregated metrics and fair baselines, qualitative and participatory studies with coding and reflexivity, mixed-methods designs, sound handling of protected attributes and proxies, consent and IRB for human-subjects and community-facing work, and matching evidence to the shape of a fairness/accountability/transparency claim.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Auditing ACM FAccT empirical work — quantitative fairness audits with disaggregated metrics and fair baselines
  • Qualitative and participatory studies with coding and reflexivity
  • Mixed-methods designs
  • Sound handling of protected attributes and proxies

Example prompts

  • “/facct-experiments”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. 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

Facct Experiments loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 653 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

description
Use when designing or auditing ACM FAccT empirical work — quantitative fairness audits with disaggregated metrics and fair baselines, qualitative and participatory studies with coding and reflexivity, mixed-methods designs, sound handling of protected attributes and proxies, consent and IRB for human-subjects and community-facing work, and matching evidence to the shape of a fairness/accountability/transparency claim.

FAccT Experiments

Use this before submission when the empirical story is not yet locked. FAccT evidence is not leaderboard evidence: the reviewer pool asks whether your study actually shows the harm, disparity, accountability gap, or transparency effect you claim, on the people you claim it for, with methods honest about their limits. The organizing principle is evidence proportional to the claim — and because FAccT is interdisciplinary, "evidence" can be a disaggregated statistical audit, a coded interview corpus, a participatory study, or a documented case, each held to its own field's standard of rigor.

Evaluation audit

  • Match evidence to the claim shape. A claim about disparate harm needs disaggregated results by subgroup, not aggregate accuracy; a claim about how affected people experience a system needs qualitative or behavioral data from those people; a claim about accountability needs the institutional/process evidence, not a metric.
  • Disaggregate, and defend the groups. Report metrics per protected/affected subgroup with uncertainty. State how group membership was defined and measured — proxies for race, gender, disability, or income carry construct-validity risk you must name and bound.
  • Choose fair baselines and fair comparisons. For a fairness method, compare against the strongest prior fairness intervention and the do-nothing baseline, with an equal, documented budget; for an audit, compare against the vendor's own claims or a documented ground truth.
  • Hold qualitative work to method. Coding schemes, inter-coder agreement where appropriate, saturation, an audit trail, and reflexivity about the researchers' standpoint — qualitative rigor is first-class at FAccT, not a soft option.
  • Treat human subjects and communities with care. Document consent, IRB/ethics approval or its considered absence, compensation, data minimization, and how you avoid re-identifying or re-harming the people in your data — this is scored, and it feeds the Ethical Considerations statement.
  • Design harms and limits in, not on. Know before you run which populations you cannot speak for and which disparities your instrument might miss, and instrument to surface them.

Handling protected attributes and proxies

text
[Definition]   state how each group is defined; whose categories are these, and who is erased by them?
[Measurement]  is the attribute observed, self-reported, or inferred? report proxy error and bias
[Intersection] test intersectional subgroups where numbers allow; note where they are too small
[Consent]      do the people classified know and agree? document the ethics basis
[Missingness]  who is absent from the data entirely, and how does that bound the claim?

Mixed-methods and participatory rigor

  • Say why each method is present and what it does that the other cannot — triangulation, not decoration.
  • For participatory or community-based work, document how the community shaped the questions, how findings return to them, and how power was handled — FAccT reviewers include people who do this seriously.
  • Report negative and disconfirming evidence; a study that only confirms the authors' prior reads as advocacy, not research.

Vignette: auditing a hiring model

A paper claims a screening model disadvantages a protected group. The matching plan: obtain or construct a realistic labeled dataset with documented provenance; report selection/error rates disaggregated by group and intersection with confidence intervals; validate the group proxy and state its error; compare against the vendor's fairness claim; audit a sample of individual cases qualitatively for face validity; document the consent/ethics basis for using the data; and state plainly which populations the audit cannot speak to — every number traceable to a logged analysis in the supplementary material.

Statistical and methodological floor

  • Uncertainty (CIs or equivalent) on every disaggregated comparison; multiple-comparison awareness across subgroups.
  • For qualitative work: the coding scheme, agreement or a defense of a single-coder design, and the interview/observation protocol.
  • The compute, data scale, and — for any human-subjects component — the sample and recruitment, not vague feasibility language.

Output format

text
[Evaluation readiness] strong / adequate / weak
[Claim -> evidence map] <claim: population / metric-or-method / uncertainty>
[Disaggregation] <groups reported? proxy validity stated? intersections where possible?>
[Ethics basis] <consent / IRB / compensation / re-harm avoidance documented? yes/no>
[Qual rigor] <coding / agreement / reflexivity present where relevant? yes/no>
[Decision-critical next run] <one study extension or analysis>
