What it does
Ajs Theory Building is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when building the theoretical argument of an American Journal of Sociology (AJS) manuscript into a portable, discipline-level contribution. AJS prizes theoretical ambition above a bare finding — explicit concepts, mechanisms, and scope conditions, in the idiom of the work (quantitative, comparative-historical, ethnographic, or formal). Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.
Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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
- Building the theoretical argument of an American Journal of Sociology (AJS) manuscript into a portable
- Discipline-level contribution
Example prompts
- “/ajs-theory-building”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Concept — define constructs precisely; distinguish from neighbors; justify measurement choices.
- Mechanism — the social process linking cause to effect: who does what, why, under what
- Observable implications — what we should and should not see if the mechanism operates; these
- Scope conditions — populations, periods, and settings where the argument holds.
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 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
Ajs Theory Building loads about 972 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 400 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 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 400 words (~972 tokens).
“AJS is, historically and today, the discipline's most theory-forward flagship — it was founded (1895) to "build up a fund of social theory," and it still rewards a portable idea over a bare result. A finding is not an AJS…”
