What it does
Stata Publication QA is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Review regression outputs, tables, and graphs for publication readiness. Use when the user asks whether a result is ready for a paper, appendix, seminar, referee response, or coauthor review.
Its SKILL.md is about 160 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `manifest.json` and `references/checklist.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Econometrics and empirical research. 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
- The user asks whether a result is ready for a paper
- Referee response
- Coauthor review
Example prompts
- “/stata-publication-qa”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Re-run or inspect the relevant model or graph.
- Review statistical clarity, labeling, sample consistency, and visual presentation.
- Distinguish required fixes from optional polish.
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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
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
Stata Publication QA loads about 159 tokens when it runs, and up to ~295 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 50 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); the scripts in this folder 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 50 words (~159 tokens).
“Use this skill when editorial quality matters.”
