What it does

Postdoc Fellowship Matcher is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Filter and match postdoctoral fellowship opportunities based on applicant nationality, years since PhD, and research field from a curated database.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `POLISH_CHANGELOG.md`, `postdoc-fellowship-matcher_audit_result_v2.json` and `references/fellowships.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Recruiting and HR. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Recruiting and HR

Example prompts

“/postdoc-fellowship-matcher”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Confirm the applicant's nationality, years since PhD completion, and research field.
Validate that the request is for fellowship matching, not application writing or eligibility certification.
Filter the fellowship database against the provided criteria.
Return a ranked list of eligible fellowships with deadlines, requirements, and notes.
If inputs are incomplete, state which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Postdoc Fellowship Matcher loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Postdoc Fellowship Matcher

Filter postdoctoral fellowships based on applicant nationality, years since PhD, and research area.

Quick Check

bash

python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help

When to Use

Use this skill when a postdoc applicant needs to identify eligible fellowships based on their nationality, career stage, and research field.
Use this skill when comparing fellowship requirements and deadlines across multiple programs.
Do not use this skill to draft fellowship applications, write personal statements, or guarantee eligibility determinations.

Workflow

Confirm the applicant's nationality, years since PhD completion, and research field.
Validate that the request is for fellowship matching, not application writing or eligibility certification.
Filter the fellowship database against the provided criteria.
Return a ranked list of eligible fellowships with deadlines, requirements, and notes.
If inputs are incomplete, state which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.

Usage

text

python scripts/main.py --nationality US --years 1 --field "immunology"
python scripts/main.py --nationality CN --years 3 --field "structural biology" --name "Dr. Zhang"

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`--nationality`	string	Yes	Applicant nationality (e.g., `US`, `CN`, `DE`)
`--years`	integer	Yes	Years since PhD completion
`--field`	string	Yes	Research field (e.g., `immunology`, `neuroscience`)
`--name`	string	No	Applicant name (for report header)

Fellowship Database

Includes: NIH F32 · NSF Postdoctoral Fellowships · HFSP Fellowship · EMBO Fellowship · Marie Curie Fellowships · Schmidt Science Fellows

→ Full fellowship details: references/fellowships.md

Field Input Normalization

The --field parameter accepts free-text research field names. Common aliases are normalized automatically:

Input	Normalized To
`structural bio`	`structural biology`
`cell bio`	`cell biology`
`neuro`	`neuroscience`
`immuno`	`immunology`

If your field is not recognized, the skill will return the closest matches and ask you to confirm.

Output

Eligible fellowships list with match rationale
Deadlines and key requirements per fellowship
Notes on eligibility caveats and verification steps

Scope Boundaries

Fellowship data reflects the built-in database; verify current deadlines and requirements on official program websites before applying.
This skill does not access live fellowship databases or real-time deadline updates.
Eligibility output is a filter result, not a legal or official determination.

Stress-Case Rules

For complex multi-constraint requests, always include these explicit blocks:

Assumptions
Filter Criteria Applied
Matched Fellowships
Caveats and Verification Steps
Next Checks

Show full SKILL.md (216 more words)Show less

Error Handling

If required inputs are missing, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.
If the task goes outside the documented scope, stop instead of guessing or silently widening the assignment.
If scripts/main.py fails, report the failure point, summarize what still can be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback.
Do not fabricate fellowship deadlines, eligibility rules, or success rate statistics.

Input Validation

This skill accepts: applicant nationality, years since PhD, and research field for fellowship eligibility filtering.

If the request does not involve fellowship matching — for example, asking to write a fellowship application, provide career counseling, or access live grant databases — do not proceed with the workflow. Instead respond:

"postdoc-fellowship-matcher is designed to filter fellowship opportunities based on applicant profile criteria. Your request appears to be outside this scope. For application writing support, consider using an academic writing skill or consulting your institution's postdoc office. Please provide nationality, years since PhD, and research field, or use a more appropriate tool."

Response Template

Use the following fixed structure for non-trivial requests:

Objective
Inputs Received
Assumptions
Workflow
Deliverable
Risks and Limits
Next Checks

If the request is simple, you may compress the structure, but still keep assumptions and limits explicit when they affect correctness.
