What it does
Osf API Guide is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Access Open Science Framework for preregistrations, preprints, and data
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Academic paper search and Reproducible research. 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 Academic paper search
- Tasks that involve Reproducible research
Example prompts
- “/osf-api-guide”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in OSF_TOKEN
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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curlpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.osf.io
Also links to:
osf.iodeveloper.osf.iocos.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
OSF_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Osf API Guide loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 470 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 470 words (~1,536 tokens).
“The Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free, open-source platform developed by the Center for Open Science (COS) that supports the entire research lifecycle. It provides tools for project management, preregistration of studies, data storage, preprint hosting, and research collaboration…”
