What it does

Kaggle Research is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when a research task needs reproducible Kaggle discovery, metadata inspection, bounded public-data downloads, competition or kernel discovery, model discovery, or an explicitly approved Kaggle write/delete operation through the official CLI.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 28 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/authentication.md`, `references/competitions.md` and `references/datasets.md`).

It works with Kaggle. 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

  • A research task needs reproducible Kaggle discovery
  • Metadata inspection
  • Bounded public-data downloads
  • Kernel discovery

Example prompts

  • “/kaggle-research”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the requested Kaggle resource and whether the action is read,
  2. Use an isolated Python 3.11+ environment with kaggle>=2.2,<3.
  3. Configure Kaggle authentication outside commands and source files. Never
  4. Run the non-mutating prerequisite check
  5. Run discovery commands before downloads or mutations. Keep every download
  6. Preserve generated audit JSON and artifact hashes with the research outputs.
  7. Report exact commands, resource references, timestamps, failures, and

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

    Ships 8 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Kaggle Research loads about 868 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 298 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~868
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 298 words (~868 tokens).

“Use the official Kaggle CLI through the policy-enforcing wrapper in this skill. The wrapper records bounded, redacted audit data; confines downloads to an approved directory; and blocks remote mutation unless the user explicitly authorizes it.”
