What it does
Phack Polyglot is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Run the instrumented specification search in the user's own statistical language — Stata (reghdfe, ivreghdfe, rdrobust, did2s), R (fixest, rdrobust, did2s), Python (statsmodels, linearmodels) or StatsPAI — and bring the results back into the audit, null calibration and honest report. Exports the enumerated grid as a language-neutral specs table plus a generated runner, ingests the runner's ledger, replays the null draws in that language, and reports cross-language parity. Use when an analysis or an agent…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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 Econometrics and empirical research, Statistics and Agent evaluation and testing. It works with Python and statsmodels. 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
- An agent evaluation must happen in Stata
- StatsPAI rather than the Python engine
- A p-hacked result was produced in one of those languages and needs auditing on its own footing
- Reading Stata / R / StatsPAI code for search and disclosure signals
Example prompts
- “/phack-polyglot”
Requirements
- Python 3
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:
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
Phack Polyglot loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 215 tokens; SKILL.md has 933 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 933 words (~2,070 tokens).
“An agent that p-hacks in Stata reports Stata's p-values, with Stata's small-sample conventions; the honest counterpart has to be computed on the same footing, not on a Python re-implementation. So the engine does the one thing that must be identical…”
