At a glance

Turn a social-science research request into a bounded design card with paradigm, scope, ethics, and output contract.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Research Intake is an agent skill from Exekiel179/psyclaw. Turn a social-science research request into a bounded design card with paradigm, scope, ethics, and output contract.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/research-intake”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 452ec79. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Research Intake loads about 247 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 110 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~247

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Research Intake

Collect the research goal, paradigm, population or corpus, time range, language and geography, exploratory versus confirmatory status, ethics constraints, and desired output. When a dataset arrives without a question, inspect its documented variables and context, propose 2-4 valuable and answerable research directions, and recommend one before asking the researcher to decide. Infer non-sensitive methodological defaults where the files and disciplinary conventions support them; ask only about choices that materially change the study. Treat post-data question development as exploratory, not as a failure. Discuss preregistration only for explicitly confirmatory work and never require a public link. Keep the design card in .psyclaw/project.json and never infer consent or access rights.
