What it does

Figure Table Audit is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Audit figures, tables, captions, cross-references, and statistical notes.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Research & Science. 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

  • Research & Science work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/figure-table-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Orient before auditing
  2. Inventory figures and tables
  3. Check text-to-evidence consistency
  4. Audit captions and notes
  5. Check accessibility and production quality
  6. Audit SI and replication linkage

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.

    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

Figure Table Audit loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 684 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 684 words (~1,515 tokens).

“This is an original Open Science Skills workflow for manuscript QA. It remixes general figure/table and citation-compliance ideas from Cheng-I Wu's Academic Research Skills for Claude Code (CC BY-NC 4.0), but is rewritten for open-science social-science manuscripts. It is not…”
