What it does

Scenario Experiment Design is an agent skill from Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit. Design rigorous scenario/vignette experiments for behavioral research in management, marketing, information systems, consumer psychology, applied psychology, and interdisciplinary social science. Use when the user asks for 情景实验, scenario experiment, vignette design, experimental stimuli, manipulation design, pretest, pilot study, random assignment, UTD24/FT50/AJG/ABS4 journal-style experiment design, or wants to learn from JCR, JCP, JM, JMR, ISR, MISQ, JAP, OBHDP, JPSP, Psychological Science, or related top…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/design-checklists.md` and `references/top-journal-benchmark.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Experimental design and Marketing psychology. The repository describes itself as: AI Agent 科研全流程教学包,能教学生从零部署 Codex、Claude Code、OpenClaw、Hermes 等 Agent,学会使用 Skills、飞书、AMiner、AI4Scholar、Zotero、Obsidian…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for 情景实验
  • Scenario experiment
  • Vignette design
  • Experimental stimuli

Example prompts

  • “/scenario-experiment-design”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Convert research idea into causal structure
  2. Choose experiment type
  3. Build scenario stimulus
  4. Add manipulation and validity checks
  5. Define measures
  6. Plan pretest and pilot
  7. Plan main study

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aab1133. 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

Scenario Experiment Design loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 558 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~137
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.9k

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 558 words (~1,312 tokens).

“Use this skill to design top-journal-style scenario experiments. It is for experiments where participants read, view, or interact with a constructed situation and then report perceptions, judgments, intentions, emotions, choices, or behavioral proxies.”

How do I install Scenario Experiment Design in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit --skill scenario-experiment-design -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (本地Skills功能分类库/10_情景实验与行为研究Skills/scenario-experiment-design in Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit) into .claude/skills/scenario-experiment-design in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Scenario Experiment Design in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit --skill scenario-experiment-design -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (本地Skills功能分类库/10_情景实验与行为研究Skills/scenario-experiment-design in Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit) into .agents/skills/scenario-experiment-design in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Scenario Experiment 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 Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit --skill scenario-experiment-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/scenario-experiment-design, .gemini/skills/scenario-experiment-design, .github/skills/scenario-experiment-design and .opencode/skills/scenario-experiment-design in your project.

What does Scenario Experiment Design need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Scenario Experiment Design is instructions for the agent only.

Does Scenario Experiment 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 Scenario Experiment 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 Scenario Experiment Design use?
