statistical-method-design

statistical-method-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw. It costs 27 tokens per session (301 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing statistical methods that match a clearly stated research problem and its assumptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to specify methods, formulas, inputs, outputs, tuning choices, diagnostics, failure cases, baselines, and ablation tests.
Why use it?
It helps avoid choosing generic techniques that do not answer the actual question or whose results cannot be checked fairly.

About the project

AutoResearchClaw is a system that turns a research idea into a scientific paper through autonomous and collaborative AI research workflows. It is for researchers who want agents to investigate questions, run experiments, and produce papers, with optional human guidance. Catalogue skills and agents provide parts of its research workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

statistical-method-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Statistical Method Design

Overview

Use this skill after formal problem formulation. The method should be a response to the formal target and assumptions, not a generic collection of techniques.

Required Method Proposal

For each method:

  • Name
  • Problem it solves
  • Formula or algorithm
  • Inputs and outputs
  • Tuning parameters
  • Required assumptions
  • Diagnostics
  • Expected failure modes
  • Computational cost
  • Relation to baselines

Baselines and Ablations

Always define meaningful baselines:

  • Classical or standard method
  • Naive or unadjusted method
  • Oracle or idealized reference when available
  • Robust variant
  • Ablation removing the key design feature

Method-to-Claim Map

Every method must connect to at least one claim:

method_to_claim_map:
  proposed_method:
    claims: [C1, C2]
    expected_evidence: "lower risk under stress condition"
    theory_target: "consistency under assumptions A1-A3"
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

statistical-method-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw (14,335 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 301 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
