What it does

Game Theory Paper Writer is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Generate, continue, revise, polish, and stress-test game theory research papers. Use when the user provides a game theory topic, phenomenon, draft, outline, model idea, literature anchor, reviewer comments, or asks for 博弈论论文生成, 选题建模, 文献迁移, 模型修正, 均衡分析, 数值模拟, 论文润色, 改稿打磨, or R&R response work.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/model-toolkit.md` and `references/paper-writing.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Load testing. 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…

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Clarify the minimum necessary scope: language, target output, length, target journal/course level, required citation style, and whether…
  2. Formulate the research core: research question, core strategic tension, players, decision variables, information structure, timing, payoff…
  3. Generate 2-3 candidate model routes, score them by tractability, economic intuition, literature continuity, and publishable contribution…
  4. Build the model identity report: cooperative/non-cooperative, static/dynamic, complete/incomplete information, perfect/imperfect…
  5. Write the model setup in three layers: intuition first, formalization second, definitions and assumption justification third.
  6. Solve or outline the equilibrium analysis: assumptions, first-order conditions or equilibrium conditions, second-order/concavity checks…
  7. Add numerical simulation or case mapping when the model would otherwise feel too abstract, the formulas are too complex, or a…
  8. Draft the paper in standard order: title, abstract, introduction, literature review, model, equilibrium analysis, numerical/case section…
  9. Run the self-review checklist in references/revision-and-review.md and revise before delivering.

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

Game Theory Paper Writer loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 602 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.2k

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 602 words (~1,385 tokens).

“Support legitimate research writing only. Do not help copy, disguise, evade plagiarism detection, fabricate references, fabricate data, or present another paper's model/text as original work. When reusing ideas from a source paper, require clear citation, explicit comparison, independent derivation, and…”
