What it does
Slfg is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Full autonomous research workflow using swarm mode for parallel execution
Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/orchestration-patterns.md`).
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…

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
Slfg loads about 399 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 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 161 words (~399 tokens).
“Swarm-enabled LFG. Run these steps in order, parallelizing where indicated. Do not stop between steps — complete every step through to the end.”

Questions about Slfg
What does Slfg do?
Full autonomous research workflow using swarm mode for parallel execution. Slfg is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills.
How do I install Slfg in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill slfg -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/11-James-Traina-compound-science/skills/slfg in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/slfg in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Slfg in Codex?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill slfg -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/11-James-Traina-compound-science/skills/slfg in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/slfg in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Slfg 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 slfg -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/slfg, .gemini/skills/slfg, .github/skills/slfg and .opencode/skills/slfg in your project.
What does Slfg need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Slfg is instructions for the agent only.
Does Slfg 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 Slfg 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 Slfg use?
Slfg 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 Slfg use?
About 399 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 3.6k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Slfg?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Slfg: Parallel Worker Swarm (cursor/plugins, 11k stars), Agent Swarm (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars), Parallels Discord Roundtrip (openclaw/openclaw, 392k stars) and Openclaw Parallels Smoke (openclaw/openclaw, 392k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Slfg?
brycewang-stanford (a GitHub user) maintains it in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, which has 4,556 GitHub stars. The repository holds 383 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 5, 2026.
