academic-experiments

academic-experiments is a skill for Claude Code from joshua-zyy/academic-paper-writer. It costs 132 tokens per session (711 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for checking experimental evidence in computer science, AI, and machine learning papers. It records what was run, what already existed, and what was only claimed by the user.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit experiment files, run a minimal reproducible test, inventory existing evidence, or perform a broader evidence review.
Why use it?
It helps assess whether reported results can be supported or reproduced and exposes risks in the testing procedure.

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

academic-experiments 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/evidence_scanner.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Router Protocol

  1. Read manifest.yaml. It declares always_load files, axes, and references.on_demand.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material.
  3. Apply the loaded material as constraints:
    • stance.md defines non-negotiable rules, evidence type semantics, failure degradation, and scope.
    • red-lines.md defines absolute prohibitions. Do not negotiate these.
    • output-contract.md defines deliverables per mode and claim-readiness classification.
    • anti-patterns.md defines known failure modes and their correct alternatives.
  4. Detect the mode using the manifest's mode axis: experiment-evidence-pass, evidence-inventory-only, or minimal-reproducible-run. Align evidence type semantics to ../shared/core/evidence-policy.md.
  5. Echo the selected mode to the user before executing.
  6. Reach for references/ only when the manifest's references.on_demand condition is satisfied.

Modes

Mode Use when
experiment-evidence-pass Full audit: inventory + run + record + risk analysis
evidence-inventory-only Inventory existing artifacts only, no execution
minimal-reproducible-run Execute minimal reproducible command (e.g. eval existing checkpoint)

Agent Dispatch

agents/experiment_agent.md is dispatched by academic-paper-writer orchestrator at Step 4. The agent may run experiments but must not modify project source code or data files, nor write paper prose independently.

Independent Use

Input Mode Priority Behavior
repo_path + no run mode experiment-evidence-pass 2 (path trigger) Full audit: inventory → env → minimal run → risk
repo_path + "inspect only" evidence-inventory-only 1 (explicit) Inventory only, no commands
repo_path + specific command minimal-reproducible-run 1 (explicit) Verify env → execute → record
No repo_path 3 (no input) Ask path, or auto-detect entry files

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.
