freeze-checkChecks whether registered notebooks have current, stale, or missing outputs.
Freeze Check is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Checks whether registered notebooks have current, stale, or missing outputs. Use before rendering or to verify freshness.
Its SKILL.md is about 510 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 Data & Analytics. It works with Jupyter. 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…
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadGlobGrepFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Freeze Check loads about 513 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Glob, GrepAutomated 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.
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 213 words (~513 tokens).
“Verify that all registered notebooks have been executed and their outputs are current.”

Checks whether registered notebooks have current, stale, or missing outputs. Freeze Check is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Checks whether registered notebooks have current, stale, or missing outputs.
Freeze Check fits situations like: data & Analytics work in your project.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill freeze-check -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/29-quarcs-lab-project20XXy/dot-claude/skills/freeze-check in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/freeze-check in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill freeze-check -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/29-quarcs-lab-project20XXy/dot-claude/skills/freeze-check in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/freeze-check in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill freeze-check -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/freeze-check, .gemini/skills/freeze-check, .github/skills/freeze-check and .opencode/skills/freeze-check in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Freeze Check is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Glob, Grep.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Freeze Check has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
About 513 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Freeze Check: Jupyter Notebook (microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners, 77k stars), Migrate Glue Devendpoint To Interactive Sessions (aws-samples/aws-glue-samples, 1.5k stars), Notebook For Experiment (JetBrains/intellij-community, 21k stars) and Jupyter To Marimo (ericmjl/llamabot, 183 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
