What it does
Identification Theory is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. DAG and potential outcomes frameworks for causal mediation identification
Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.backups/SKILL-2025-12-09T03-53-59-604Z.md`).
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Dispute resolution. 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…

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 r and latex).
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
Identification Theory loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,311 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.
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 1,311 words (~3,927 tokens).

Questions about Identification Theory
What does Identification Theory do?
DAG and potential outcomes frameworks for causal mediation identification. Identification Theory is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills.
When should I use Identification Theory?
Identification Theory fits situations like: tasks that involve Dispute resolution.
How do I install Identification Theory in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill identification-theory -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/26-Data-Wise-scholar/skills/mathematical/identification-theory in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/identification-theory in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Identification Theory in Codex?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill identification-theory -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/26-Data-Wise-scholar/skills/mathematical/identification-theory in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/identification-theory in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Identification Theory in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
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 identification-theory -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/identification-theory, .gemini/skills/identification-theory, .github/skills/identification-theory and .opencode/skills/identification-theory in your project.
What does Identification Theory need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Identification Theory is instructions for the agent only.
Does Identification Theory access the network?
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.
Is Identification Theory safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Identification Theory use?
Identification Theory has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Identification Theory use?
About 3.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 16k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
