What it does
Robustness is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Checklist of empirical robustness tests for finance/economics papers
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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. 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
- Research & Science work in your project

- “/robustness”

- Identification Tests

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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Robustness loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 499 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 499 words (~1,354 tokens).
“Systematic checklist of robustness tests for empirical research. Use this to ensure comprehensive testing before submission.”

Questions about Robustness
What does Robustness do?
Checklist of empirical robustness tests for finance/economics papers. Robustness is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills.
When should I use Robustness?
Robustness fits situations like: research & Science work in your project.
How do I install Robustness in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill robustness -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/30-zirui-song-claude-skills/robustness in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/robustness in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Robustness in Codex?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill robustness -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/30-zirui-song-claude-skills/robustness in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/robustness in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Robustness in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill robustness -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/robustness, .gemini/skills/robustness, .github/skills/robustness and .opencode/skills/robustness in your project.
What does Robustness need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Robustness is instructions for the agent only.
Does Robustness access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Robustness safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Robustness use?
Robustness has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Robustness use?
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Robustness?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Robustness: Hypothesis Generation (spacering-net/codeg, 3.8k stars), GitHub Deep Research (bytedance/deer-flow, 83k stars), Nature Paper Card (Yuan1z0825/nature-skills, 46k stars) and Read arXiv Paper (karpathy/nanochat, 58k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Robustness?
brycewang-stanford (a GitHub user) maintains it in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, which has 4,529 GitHub stars. The repository holds 364 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 5, 2026.
