Install
Each tab says whether it installs commit 371a40e, the one we checked, or the latest version.
No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie, Amp and Antigravity, and Claude Code for Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

npx skills@1.7.4 add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill zotero-gpt-guideWhat it can touch
From the files and frontmatter at commit 371a40e. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.
What it can touch: Scripts or outside hosts
Names web addresses
It mentions outside web addresses the agent may visit. We list them but don't follow them.
Pattern check
Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 371a40e · 27 Oct 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 371a40e on 27 Oct 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check
Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.
Agent Skills specPasses with warnings
The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.
- Warning
The frontmatter uses [ ] or { } values. Most agents accept them, but the spec's validator (skills-ref) rejects the file. F4
Fix: Write lists as "- item" lines and maps as indented key: value lines, without anchors or tags.
- Warning
metadata values should be text; openclaw (a map) is not. The spec's validator turns them into text; other readers may not. O4
Fix: Quote each value, for example version: "1.0".
- Note
The description doesn't say when to use the skill. D6
Fix: Add a sentence such as "Use when …" naming the requests or files that should trigger it.
- Note
There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
- Warning
- Claude CodePasses
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Note
metadata values should be text; openclaw (a map) is not. The spec defines metadata as text to text. O4
Fix: Quote each value, for example version: "1.0".
- Note
OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes with warnings
Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.
- Warning
metadata values should be text; openclaw (a map) is not. OpenAI's upload follows the spec's text-to-text rule. O4
Fix: Quote each value, for example version: "1.0".
- Warning
- VS Code & CopilotPasses
SKILL.md
We only show SKILL.md text here when its licence clearly allows it.
