What it does

Ma End To End is an agent skill from htlin222/meta-pipe. End-to-end AI-assisted meta-analysis pipeline orchestration from TOPIC.txt to final manuscript and reviewer responses. Use when the user provides a topic and wants the full meta-analysis workflow, tracking, and final paper.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/artifact-stamping.md`, `references/metadat-validation.md` and `references/resume-workflow.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering End-to-end testing and Data pipelines and ETL. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code-powered end-to-end meta-analysis automation: AI-assisted literature review, screening, extraction, analysis, and manuscript generation for systematic reviews and….

When your agent uses it

  • The user provides a topic and wants the full meta-analysis workflow
  • Tasks that involve End-to-end testing
  • Tasks that involve Data pipelines and ETL

Example prompts

  • “/ma-end-to-end”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Initialize Python tooling with uv inside tooling/python/ using uv init.
  2. Use uv add to manage dependencies for search and automation scripts.
  3. Run Python scripts via uv run (do not call python3 directly).
  4. Use uv tool for any external CLI helpers that should be isolated.
  5. Use R with renv inside 06_analysis/ for reproducible meta-analysis.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5c5c3f0. 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 10 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Ma End To End loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 842 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

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 842 words (~2,337 tokens).

“Coordinate the complete meta-analysis workflow, ensure every step is tracked, and produce a final manuscript with reviewer responses.”
