What it does

Weekly Research Planner is an agent skill from Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit. Create weekly research plans and reviews for doctoral projects. Use for weeklyplan.md, weeklyreview.md, priority setting, task dependencies, research sprint planning, meeting preparation, advisor questions, and project continuity.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/create_weekly_plan_template.py`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Sprint planning and agile and Journaling and reflection. The repository describes itself as: AI Agent 科研全流程教学包,能教学生从零部署 Codex、Claude Code、OpenClaw、Hermes 等 Agent,学会使用 Skills、飞书、AMiner、AI4Scholar、Zotero、Obsidian…

When your agent uses it

  • Weeklyreview.md
  • Priority setting
  • Task dependencies
  • Research sprint planning

Example prompts

  • “/weekly-research-planner”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Review current project status and recent logs.
  2. Separate tasks into must-do, should-do, and can-wait.
  3. Define inputs, outputs, dependencies, and estimated time for each task.
  4. Identify questions for advisor discussion.
  5. End the week by writing a review: completed, unfinished, blockers, and next week priorities.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aab1133. 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.

    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

Weekly Research Planner loads about 307 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 111 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~307

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 111 words (~307 tokens).

“Use this skill at the start or end of each week.”
