What it does

Scikit Learn is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Machine learning: clustering, PCA/t-SNE/UMAP, classification, prediction regression (Ridge/Lasso/ensemble), cross-validation, Pipelines. For unsupervised analysis, classification, or prediction. For econometric regression use pyfixest/statsmodels.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including reference files (for example `references/classification.md`, `references/clustering.md` and `references/decomposition.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Machine learning. It works with scikit-learn, statsmodels, UMAP and Python. 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 Machine learning

Example prompts

  • “/scikit-learn”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. New to scikit-learn? Start with quickstart.md then the task-specific reference
  2. Clustering task? Read clustering.md, then evaluation-unsupervised.md
  3. Classification task? Read classification.md, then evaluation-supervised.md
  4. Need preprocessing? Read preprocessing.md (covers Pipeline construction)
  5. Having issues? Check gotchas.md first
  6. Interpretation task? Read interpretation.md, then check supervised-ml.md in data-scientist skill for methodology
  7. Fairness assessment? Read fairness.md, then check supervised-ml.md in data-scientist skill for conceptual framework

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 (its code samples are 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

Scikit Learn loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~35k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~35k

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 1,169 words (~4,607 tokens).

“General-purpose machine learning with scikit-learn. Covers unsupervised methods (clustering, GMM, PCA, t-SNE, UMAP, manifold learning, evaluation metrics), supervised methods (classification, prediction-focused regression via Ridge/Lasso/ensemble methods, model evaluation, cross-validation), and shared infrastructure (preprocessing, Pipeline construction, feature selection). Use when performing cluster…”

Can I use Scikit Learn 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 scikit-learn -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/scikit-learn, .gemini/skills/scikit-learn, .github/skills/scikit-learn and .opencode/skills/scikit-learn in your project.

What does Scikit Learn need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Scikit Learn is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Scikit Learn 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 Scikit Learn 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 Scikit Learn use?
