Asr Literature Positioning is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills.

  • Tasks that involve Literature review

Example prompts

Workflow steps

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

  1. Frame a debate, not a citation list. Identify the live disagreement or open theoretical
  2. Two audiences at once. Satisfy specialists (you know the frontier) and generalists (why it
  3. Name the gap precisely. Not "little is known" — say what is contested, under-theorized, or
  4. Position the contribution as a move. "Prior work explains outcome Y via mechanism M; we show M

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

Asr Literature Positioning loads about 798 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~798

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 329 words (~798 tokens).

“An ASR paper has to convince sociologists beyond its niche that the contribution matters. Positioning places the paper in a sociological debate — about inequality, culture, institutions, mechanisms — that a general reader recognizes, and shows precisely what the paper…”
