What it does

Ccf Experiment Designer is an agent skill from mikubaka88/CCFA-Skills. Design CCF experiment protocols and evidence schemas: datasets, baselines, metrics, ablations, and result-table contents. Use for 设计实验, 消融, benchmark planning, and 结果表证据结构. Preserve real values. Table styling/rendering belongs to ccf-visual-composer; broad retrieval belongs to ccf-literature-searcher.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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/evidence-design.md` and `references/result-templates.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A skill family for shaping the research storyline of CCF-A papers. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5969e6b. 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

Ccf Experiment Designer loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 803 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

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.

CCF Experiment Designer

Family File Contract

Before writing, resolve the canonical output and one stable working directory per task/artifact. Reuse explicit or established task paths; otherwise use project-root ccfa-workfiles/<purpose>/<artifact-id>/, with source/, assets/, cache/, and build/ only as needed. Update current files in place; do not scatter intermediates or create iteration copies. Preserve inputs and required evidence; clean only verified disposable files created by this task. Use UTF-8 text I/O and check Chinese text after saving or rendering. For file work, apply artifact-contracts.md and reuse the same paths across skill transitions.

Collaboration Contract

Before specialist execution, read and apply ccf-humanization first, then ccf-common. At every handoff, reuse their applicable active rules or refresh missing/changed ones. Both preflights are required even without prose; detailed editing, experiment, and maintenance modes run only when relevant.

Keep one integrating owner and actively use other skills to resolve missing prerequisites or check material findings. Reuse applicable evidence; do not skip necessary groundwork to save tokens. Before finalizing, integrate contributions and verify affected results. Follow the conditional cooperation routes; avoid unrelated stages and duplicate reports.

Invocation Controls

CCFA Handoff Mode: PARTIAL (Recommended). Follow metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode, ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md, and ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md.

Activate Humanization and Common before all experiment work, including raw protocol planning and evidence schemas. When producing publication prose/tables/captions or changing executable experiments, load ../ccf-humanization/references/experiment-discipline.md as applicable, minimize smoke tests to unique changed critical paths, and verify complete method configurations for reported comparisons. These detailed checks are conditional; the family baseline is not. Describe the method and scientifically relevant configuration without exposing internal approval status. Keep unresolved version decisions outside publication artifacts without hiding material facts.

Core Rule

Design the smallest sufficient experiment package that distinguishes the central hypothesis from plausible alternatives. Use supplied specifications for planned methods; verify complete configurations for reported full-method comparisons. Build result tables and evidence-bound figure specs only from supplied real values or explicit placeholders. Never fabricate numbers, improvements, significance, benchmark ranks, or user-study outcomes. Do not expand protocols with repetitive smoke tests or implausible defensive cases. Publication-grade layout, palette, caption placement, and render QA belong to ccf-visual-composer. Follow the user's requested output shape: experiment plan, table, LaTeX table, figure spec, ablation list, or execution queue.

Modes

  • design: datasets, baselines, metrics, ablations, robustness, efficiency, failure analysis, and execution priority.
  • result-template: fill-in tables with TBD placeholders.
  • result-presentation: result tables, figure evidence plans, chart specs, caption facts, and missing-value markers from supplied real results.

Workflow

  1. Identify the requested output after both family preflights. Raw protocol planning and evidence schemas use Humanization's baseline without a manuscript rewrite. Select detailed prose/experiment checks only when applicable, and establish claims and available evidence before method-version checks.
  2. Extract the storyline from the idea or draft. Reuse the supplied claim/mechanism description. Read ../ccf-paper-writer/references/storyline-blueprint.md only when the central claim needs clarification, not for an already specified result table.
  3. Map every major claim to sufficient evidence, dataset/workload, confirmed baseline, metric, and mechanism-relevant ablation. Add robustness or failure tests only when observed, plausible, claim-relevant, or venue-required; do not enumerate remote defensive cases.
  4. Resolve missing dataset, baseline, metric, or protocol provenance through ccf-literature-searcher before fixing dependent comparisons. Verify compatibility with the central claim. For a consequential unresolved claim-to-test mismatch, request a focused ccf-paper-reviewer check and integrate its findings; do not create a full review report for a protocol question. Mark unavailable evidence instead of guessing.
  5. Load references/evidence-design.md for substantive protocol design or references/result-templates.md for table/schema work. Do not load both for a small task unless both are needed.
  6. For result presentation, preserve units, seeds, confidence intervals, dataset names, metric direction, and confirmed method version/configuration. Mark missing values explicitly; never fill them with simplified runs.
  7. If executable experiment code is actually changed, retain only non-duplicative smoke tests for those critical paths. Planning or formatting alone does not call for smoke tests. Keep them outside publication evidence and do not use them as substitutes for full experiments.
  8. Use ccf-visual-composer when the requested deliverable includes visual composition, layout, or rendering. Supply real values, units, uncertainty, metric direction, and caption facts; integrate and check the returned figure/table. A raw evidence schema does not require rendering.
  9. Before finalizing reported comparisons, reconcile claims, numbers, and configurations; use ccf-integrity-auditor for material unresolved conflicts. Use ccf-paper-writer for needed manuscript prose and ccf-submission-checker when package readiness is in scope. These are conditional contributions, not stages to run for every plan.

Adaptive Output Contract

Return the requested artifact first. For a result table request, output the table. For a figure request, output the evidence-bound figure spec and caption facts, then name ccf-visual-composer as next owner for visual composition when needed. For a full experiment-design request, use this default structure:

text
Mode:
Venue and assumptions:
Claim-evidence matrix:
Dataset / benchmark needs:
Confirmed method / baseline versions:
Baseline matrix:
Main experiments:
Ablations:
Robustness / failure / efficiency:
Smoke scope and deduplication:
Result tables or figure specs:
Missing values:
Execution priority:
No-fabrication status:
