What it does
Academic Experiments is an agent skill from joshua-zyy/academic-paper-writer. Audit, run, or verify experimental evidence for CS/AI/ML papers. Produces Evidence Inventory with evidencetype annotations (newlyrun/preexistingartifact/userclaim) and Protocol Risk assessments. Use when: checking if experiment results are reproducible, auditing existing experiment artifacts, running minimal reproducible commands, evaluating checkpoints without full retraining, documenting protocol risks like data leakage or missing baselines. Triggers on: 复核实验, run experiments, 实验结果, experiment evidence, verify…
Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/experiment_agent.md`, `manifest.yaml` and `references/evidence-inventory.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Scientific writing. The repository describes itself as: 面向 CS / AI / ML 领域的证据驱动、分节推进的论文写作 Agent Skill。 The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : checking if experiment results are reproducible
- Auditing existing experiment artifacts
- Running minimal reproducible commands
- Evaluating checkpoints without full retraining
Example prompts
- “/academic-experiments”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read manifest.yaml. It declares always_load files, axes, and references.on_demand.
- Read every file listed under always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material.
- Apply the loaded material as constraints
- Detect the mode using the manifest's mode axis: experiment-evidence-pass, evidence-inventory-only, or minimal-reproducible-run. Align…
- Echo the selected mode to the user before executing.
- Reach for references/ only when the manifest's references.on_demand condition is satisfied.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6fceefd. 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
Academic Experiments loads about 754 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 160 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 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.

Academic Experiments
将此 skill 视为"实验取证代理"，目标是建立最短且可信的证据链，而不是尽量多跑实验。
Router Protocol
- Read
manifest.yaml. It declaresalways_loadfiles,axes, andreferences.on_demand. - Read every file listed under
always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material. - Apply the loaded material as constraints:
stance.mddefines non-negotiable rules, evidence type semantics, failure degradation, and scope.red-lines.mddefines absolute prohibitions. Do not negotiate these.output-contract.mddefines deliverables per mode and claim-readiness classification.anti-patterns.mddefines known failure modes and their correct alternatives.
- Detect the mode using the manifest's
modeaxis:experiment-evidence-pass,evidence-inventory-only, orminimal-reproducible-run. Align evidence type semantics to../shared/core/evidence-policy.md. - Echo the selected mode to the user before executing.
- Reach for
references/only when the manifest'sreferences.on_demandcondition is satisfied.
Modes
| Mode | Use when |
|---|---|
experiment-evidence-pass | Full audit: inventory + run + record + risk analysis |
evidence-inventory-only | Inventory existing artifacts only, no execution |
minimal-reproducible-run | Execute minimal reproducible command (e.g. eval existing checkpoint) |
Agent Dispatch
agents/experiment_agent.md is dispatched by academic-paper-writer orchestrator at Step 4. The agent may run experiments but must not modify project source code or data files, nor write paper prose independently.
Independent Use
| Input | Mode | Priority | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
repo_path + no run mode | experiment-evidence-pass | 2 (path trigger) | Full audit: inventory → env → minimal run → risk |
repo_path + "inspect only" | evidence-inventory-only | 1 (explicit) | Inventory only, no commands |
repo_path + specific command | minimal-reproducible-run | 1 (explicit) | Verify env → execute → record |
No repo_path | — | 3 (no input) | Ask path, or auto-detect entry files |
| Scenario | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Just auditing/reproducing evidence | This skill (standalone) |
| Writing results into paper prose | academic-paper-writer orchestrator |
| Draft results need verification | This skill → academic-reviser |
