Choose the right statistical test, compute effect sizes, design power analyses, and report statistics correctly in ML and AI research papers. Use whenever the user asks how to compare two models statistically, whether results are significant, how many seeds to run, how to report variance, which test to use for non-normal data, how to handle multiple comparisons, or how to answer a reviewer challenging statistical validity. Also use when planning an evaluation and needing to decide the number of seeds/trials before running, or when results are borderline and the user needs to know if they can claim significance. Prevents the most common statistical mistakes in ML papers: reporting only means without variance, choosing seeds post-hoc, and conflating statistical significance with practical significance.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
10 rules. About 0 are common, 10 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈10
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
