What it does
Survey Design is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Design survey instruments: questions, scales, flow, social desirability.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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
Survey Design loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,234 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 2,234 words (~4,392 tokens).
- name
- survey-design
- argument-hint
- [describe your survey question or design challenge]

Questions about Survey Design
What does Survey Design do?
Design survey instruments: questions, scales, flow, social desirability. Survey Design is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Design survey instruments: questions, scales, flow, social desirability.
How do I install Survey Design in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill survey-design -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/54-scdenney-open-science-skills/skills/survey-design in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/survey-design in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Survey Design in Codex?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill survey-design -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/54-scdenney-open-science-skills/skills/survey-design in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/survey-design in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Survey Design 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 survey-design -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/survey-design, .gemini/skills/survey-design, .github/skills/survey-design and .opencode/skills/survey-design in your project.
What does Survey Design need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Survey Design is instructions for the agent only.
Does Survey Design 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 Survey Design 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 Survey Design use?
Survey Design 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 Survey Design use?
About 4.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 18k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Survey Design?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Survey Design: Creating Surveys (PostHog/posthog, 40k stars), Surveys (davepoon/buildwithclaude, 3.6k stars), Survey Design (Owl-Listener/designer-skills, 2.9k stars) and Observability And Instrumentation (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Survey Design?
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.
