What it does
Stata Table Builder is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Build and review paper-ready regression, balance, and summary tables from Stata outputs. Use when the user needs a clean table for a draft, appendix, or coauthor share-out.
Its SKILL.md is about 150 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/table-patterns.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 needs a clean table for a draft
- Coauthor share-out
Example prompts
- “/stata-table-builder”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Determine the table type and target audience.
- Extract authoritative stored results.
- Check labels, notes, sample definitions, and comparability across columns.
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 Table Builder loads about 150 tokens when it runs, and up to ~214 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 49 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 49 words (~150 tokens).
“Use this skill when the target output is a table rather than raw console output.”
