Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00057 | $0.09355 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.04678 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.01871 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00936 |
Grade A, and why
data-scientist 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 4d 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.
The source is not reproduced here
A licence we could not identify
The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.
What ships with it
15 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

data-scientist is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills (3,759 stars, last pushed 4d ago), with no licence file. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 9,355 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-07.
Other skills, from other repositories
optimization-loop
The optimizer brain for the ladder-foundry pretraining loop. Runs the two-level nested batch loop, delegates gating to gateeval, attributes a failing batch to one weight (attribute-first), and recovers from disk after compaction. Control flow is fully scripted; only the backprop attribution is a judgment call.
ablation-design
Design ablation studies to isolate component contributions in ML systems.
synthetic-data
Generate structurally realistic synthetic datasets for pipeline prototyping, test coverage, or prospective power analysis. Use when code or design must be exercised before real data are available or accessible. Never substitute synthetic records for governed raw data.
alterlab-pyhealth
Develops, tests, and deploys clinical machine learning models with the PyHealth healthcare AI toolkit. Use when working with electronic health records (EHR), clinical prediction tasks (mortality, readmission, drug recommendation), medical coding systems (ICD, NDC, ATC), physiological signals (EEG, ECG), healthcare…
alterlab-deepchem
Runs molecular machine learning with DeepChem — diverse featurizers, pre-built MoleculeNet benchmark datasets, and pre-trained models (ChemBERTa, GROVER) for property prediction (ADMET, toxicity, solubility) via traditional ML or graph neural networks. Use when running end-to-end molecular ML experiments that need…
alterlab-hypogenic
Runs automated LLM-driven hypothesis generation and testing on tabular datasets with HypoGeniC, combining literature insights with data-driven testing. Use when systematically exploring hypotheses about patterns in empirical data (for example deception detection or content analysis). For manual hypothesis formulation…
