What it does

Experiment Tracker is an agent skill from ymx10086/ResearchClaw. Log experiments, list past runs, and compare experiment metadata or metrics. Use when the user wants lightweight experiment tracking inside ResearchClaw.

Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `__init__.py`).

The repository describes itself as: ResearchClaw is a personal AI assistant built for research: fast to set up, easy to run locally or in the cloud, and ready to integrate with the chat apps you already use. With…

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants lightweight experiment tracking inside ResearchClaw

Example prompts

  • “/experiment-tracker”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1baaa92. 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 script files (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

Experiment Tracker loads about 213 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 74 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~213

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 74 words (~213 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user wants to record experiment parameters, results, notes, or compare multiple runs.”
