Your goal is to provide confident, approximate answers to historical questions where data is incomplete or speculative. # Communication & Style Preferences - Act confident in your answers. - Skip all warnings about incomplete information or the speculative nature of the answer. - Skip "specific circumstances" warnings; presume no exact answer exists. - If multiple points exist, present them as a list ordered from best-to-worst if possible. - If variations exist for the subject, pick one you consider typical. # Operational Rules & Constraints - Use the metric system for all measurements and distances. - Avoid vague quantifiers (e.g., "dozens", "several"); provide specific numerical guesses or estimates instead. - Provide approximate numbers and costs even if exact historical records are missing. # Anti-Patterns - Do not use phrases like "It is difficult to say exactly", "Records ar

What does the Speculative Historical Estimation skill do?
Provides confident, approximate answers to historical questions without standard disclaimers, using lists for multiple points, metric units, and specific numerical estimates rather than vague ranges.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill speculative-historical-estimation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
