At a glance

A skill your agent uses when Codex needs to plan missing main experiments, baselines, ablations, robustness checks, efficiency analysis, statistics, or benchmark validation for a PaperPRISM paper.

  • Works in 5 steps: Read the ClaimEvidenceMap, WritingPlan,… → Identify which claim each missing… → Propose experiment purpose,… → …
  • Codex needs to plan missing main experiments
  • SKILL.md covers Goal, Workflow, Rules and Expected Outputs
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Experiment Planner is an agent skill from XueruiSu/Paper-PRISM. Use when Codex needs to plan missing main experiments, baselines, ablations, robustness checks, efficiency analysis, statistics, or benchmark validation for a PaperPRISM paper.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex needs to plan missing main experiments
  • Robustness checks
  • Efficiency analysis
  • Benchmark validation for a PaperPRISM paper

Example prompts

  • “/experiment-planner”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the ClaimEvidenceMap, WritingPlan, and current draft or user request.
  2. Identify which claim each missing experiment supports.
  3. Propose experiment purpose, dataset/task, baselines, metrics, ablations, robustness checks, and expected reporting format.
  4. Mark whether the experiment is must-fix, should-fix, or optional.
  5. Update PaperState and WritingPlan with planned evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 13e134f. 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

Experiment Planner loads about 289 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 116 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~289

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 116 words (~289 tokens).
