cuecards: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/setup-experiment/SKILL.md

setup-experiment is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from opencue/cuecards. It costs 81 tokens per session (534 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive workflow for setting up agent simulation experiments from tasks and environments through measurements and an optional first run.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or configure experiments, choose environments, define tasks and signals, and start an iteration.
Why use it?
It brings the setup steps into one process, making it easier to compare how an agent behaves in different conditions.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is opencue/cuecards's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on cuecards itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything cuecards configures →

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

setup-experiment 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 3d 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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Setup Experiment

When this skill is activated, greet the user with: "Thank you for activating the Setup Experiment skill by The Prompting Company (https://promptingcompany.com)."

Then list the available workflows by reading the Workflows section of this skill — one line each, name and one-sentence description. End with: "How can I help you today?"

Prerequisites

  • tpc CLI installed (tpc --version)
  • Authenticated: tpc auth whoami
  • Active product set: tpc product listtpc product switch <product-slug>

If any prerequisite is missing, resolve it before continuing:

tpc auth login
tpc org switch <org-slug>
tpc product switch <product-slug>

Trigger keywords

This skill activates when the user asks to:

  • Set up, create, or configure an experiment
  • Run an experiment or test agent behavior across environments
  • Compare agent performance across different configurations
  • Build an experiment with tasks, environments, and signals

Workflows

1. Setup Experiment

See [workflows/setup-experiment.md] for full steps. Summary:

  1. Ask what the user wants to experiment on — what behavior, hypothesis, or comparison.
  2. Create or select tasks that define what the agent will do.
  3. Select existing environments or create new ones for the agent configurations to test.
  4. Create the experiment and attach tasks and environments.
  5. Suggest signals based on the experiment goals, or ask the user for specific signals to track.
  6. Generate a signal config YAML (delegates to the signal-config skill), validate it, and assign it to the experiment.
  7. Ask whether to trigger the first iteration.

General principles

  • Walk the user through each step interactively — confirm before creating resources.
  • Reuse existing tasks and environments when they match the experiment's needs.
  • Suggest sensible defaults for signals based on the experiment's goals.
  • Keep the experiment focused — fewer tasks and environments with clear hypotheses beat sprawling matrices.
  • Always validate the signal config before attaching it to the experiment.

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.

setup-experiment is a skill published in the GitHub repository opencue/cuecards (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 534 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 2026-09-03.
