What it does
Replication Package is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Scaffold or audit a social-science replication package at a target directory. Generates folder structure, README, master.R, figure/table crosswalk, codebook template, LICENSE placeholder, and pre-release checklist. Adapted from Yusaku Horiuchi's replication-package-guide with FAIR-principle integration; platform-neutral (Harvard Dataverse, OSF, Zenodo, GitHub releases, institutional archives).
Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k 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 and Feature launches and release readiness. It works with GitHub. 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 Econometrics and empirical research
- Tasks that involve Feature launches and release readiness
Example prompts
- “/replication-package”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Resolve the target directory
- Decide on structure
- Decide between scaffold and audit
- Scaffold the tree
- Write template files
- Report
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:
ReadWriteEditBash
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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comdoi.orggo-fair.org
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
Replication Package loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,358 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:311
.env - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:312
.env.* - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:370
- [ ] `.gitignore` excludes `.env`, `*.pem`, `*.key`, editor caches, R session artifacts, Python caches, and OS metadata - NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash
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 1,358 words (~3,717 tokens).
“The structural conventions in this skill (single-entry-point principle, compact vs. build/analyze layouts, figure/table crosswalk, paper-consistency check, correction workflow, pre-release checklist) come from Yusaku Horiuchi's replication-package-guide. Horiuchi's repository README explicitly authorizes AI consumption: it is "designed to be read by humans…”
