What it does
Interview Me is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Interactive interview to formalize a research idea into a structured specification with hypotheses and empirical strategy.
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 Research & Science, covering Hypothesis generation and Requirements gathering. 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
- Tasks that involve Hypothesis generation
- Tasks that involve Requirements gathering
Example prompts
- “/interview-me”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The Big Picture -- What phenomenon or puzzle are you investigating? Why does it matter?
- Theoretical Motivation -- What's your intuition for the mechanism? What does theory predict?
- Data and Setting -- What data do you have? What specific context or time period?
- Identification -- Any natural experiments or policy changes? What are the threats to causality?
- Expected Results -- What do you predict? What are the implications for policy or theory?
- Contribution -- How does this differ from existing work? What's the value-added?
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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWrite
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 markdown).
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
Interview Me loads about 514 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 144 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 144 words (~514 tokens).
“Conduct a structured interview through 6 phases to formalize a research idea.”
