skills CLI
$ npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill robustness-table -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills robustness-table --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/skills/29-quarcs-lab-project20XXy/dot-claude/skills/robustness-table .claude/skills/robustness-table && rm -rf skills-src

What it does

Robustness Table is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Generates robustness check code and formats results as a combined table. Use for sensitivity analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 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

  • Sensitivity analysis

Example prompts

  • “Use the robustness-table skill to generate robustness check code and formats results as a combined table”
  • “/robustness-table”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the specified notebook and locate the baseline regression
  2. Ask the user which robustness checks to include
  3. Generate code cells in the notebook for each robustness specification
  4. Create a summary cell that collects all results into a single table
  5. Optionally export the table to tables/ as a standalone file (LaTeX or CSV)
  6. Sync the Jupytext pair
  7. Show the embed shortcode for index.qmd

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:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Table loads about 650 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~650

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.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep

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 292 words (~650 tokens).

“Given a baseline regression, generate code for standard robustness checks and format the results as a publication-ready table.”
