What it does
Academic Grant is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Generate or fill in academic grant application forms (project statement, education plan, pathway to impact, references) using draft research material. MUST trigger when the user mentions: grant application, grant proposal, project statement, funding application, RGC/GRF/ECS/TRS proposal, filling in grant forms, academic grant, research grant, or any task involving converting research papers/drafts into grant application documents. Also trigger when the user provides sample grant forms and asks to fill them with…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/agent-prompts.md` and `scripts/assemble_docx.py`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Grant writing. It works with Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.
When your agent uses it
- The user mentions: grant application
- Project statement
- Funding application
- RGC/GRF/ECS/TRS proposal
Example prompts
- “write my grant”
- “help with the grant application”
- “fill in the application form”
- “/academic-grant”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Agent
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Preparation
- Draft Sections (Parallel)
- Review (1 Agent)
- Revise + Assemble (1 Agent)
- Citation Verification (3 Parallel Agents)
- Supporting Documents (2-3 Parallel Agents)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditBashAgent
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:
pythonpip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Academic Grant loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 210 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,234 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Agent
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,234 words (~2,774 tokens).
“This skill produces complete grant application documents from research project material. It handles the main project statement, education plan, pathway to impact, and references. The workflow uses parallel agents for efficiency and a review-revision cycle for quality.”
