What it does
Experiment Agent is an agent skill from Imbad0202/experiment-agent. Experiment executor and monitor for academic research. 2-agent system covering code experiments (ML training, statistical analysis, ETL, simulation) and human studies (surveys, field studies, interviews). 4 modes: run (execute + monitor code), manage (track human studies), validate (statistical interpretation + reproducibility verification), plan (Socratic experiment design). Use when a researcher wants to run or monitor a research experiment, manage or resume a human-subject study, check the statistics or…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 49 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.claude/CLAUDE.md`, `.github/FUNDING.yml` and `.github/workflows/release-discipline.yml`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics, Reproducible research and Experimental design. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skill for experiment execution, monitoring, statistical interpretation, and reproducibility verification.
When your agent uses it
- A researcher wants to run
- Monitor a research experiment
- Resume a human-subject study
- Check the statistics
Example prompts
- “/experiment-agent”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Detect intent from user's first message using trigger keywords
- Code execution keywords → dispatch code_runner_agent (run mode)
- Human study keywords → dispatch study_manager_agent (manage mode)
- Validation keywords → enter validate mode (handled inline, see below)
- Design keywords → enter plan mode (handled inline, see below)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 74c9835. 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/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Experiment Agent loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 162 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,372 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 (CC-BY-NC-4.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,372 words (~3,125 tokens).
“Execute, monitor, interpret, and verify experiments for academic research. Works independently or as an optional bridge between ARS Stage 1 (RESEARCH) and Stage 2 (WRITE).”
