CCFA Skills is a family of agent skills that helps researchers develop the storyline and presentation of CCF-A research papers. It supports work across research ideas, literature, experiments, writing, figures, reviews, rebuttals, and submission while keeping the argument connected. The catalogue entry consists of the project's research-writing skills and plugin.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00079 | $0.01273 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00636 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00255 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00127 |
Grade A, and why
ccf-experiment-designer 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 5d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Invocation Controls
CCFA Handoff Mode: PARTIAL (Recommended). Follow metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode, ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md, and ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md.
Run ccf-humanization as the first publication-facing experiment preflight only when this skill produces or revises publication-facing prose, final manuscript tables/captions, or a publication method description. Do not load it for raw protocol planning, dataset/baseline/metric selection, execution queues, or evidence-schema design. When it applies, load ../ccf-humanization/references/experiment-discipline.md, minimize smoke tests to unique changed critical paths, and allow only internally confirmed full method versions in manuscript text, final tables, captions, and claimed comparisons. In publication-facing wording, name the method and scientifically relevant configuration naturally without exposing confirmation, approval, or readiness status. Put version conflicts or necessary exceptions in a separate user-review warning; do not modify experiment or manuscript files merely to encode the warning.
Core Rule
Design the smallest sufficient experiment package that distinguishes the central hypothesis from plausible alternatives. Use supplied specifications for planned methods; verify complete configurations for reported full-method comparisons. Build result tables and evidence-bound figure specs only from supplied real values or explicit placeholders. Never fabricate numbers, improvements, significance, benchmark ranks, or user-study outcomes. Do not expand protocols with repetitive smoke tests or implausible defensive cases. Publication-grade layout, palette, caption placement, and render QA belong to ccf-visual-composer. Follow the user's requested output shape: experiment plan, table, LaTeX table, figure spec, ablation list, or execution queue.
Modes
design: datasets, baselines, metrics, ablations, robustness, efficiency, failure analysis, and execution priority.result-template: fill-in tables withTBDplaceholders.result-presentation: result tables, figure evidence plans, chart specs, caption facts, and missing-value markers from supplied real results.
What ships with it
3 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.

ccf-experiment-designer is a skill published in the GitHub repository mikubaka88/CCFA-Skills (2,395 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 1,273 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
