At a glance

A skill your agent uses when targeting Cell Metabolism or deciding whether a metabolism/physiology manuscript fits this venue.

  • Targeting Cell Metabolism
  • SKILL.md covers Journal positioning, When to trigger, Scope & topic fit and Method & evidence bar, plus 6 more sections

What it does

Cell Metabolism is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when targeting Cell Metabolism or deciding whether a metabolism/physiology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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

  • Targeting Cell Metabolism
  • Deciding whether a metabolism/physiology manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/cell-metabolism”

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

Cell Metabolism loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 868 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
~1.9k

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 868 words (~1,929 tokens).

“Cell Metabolism is Cell Press's flagship metabolism and physiology journal, publishing mechanistic studies of how organisms sense, process, and adapt to nutrients, energy, and metabolic stress — with emphasis on in vivo physiology and disease relevance. The core territory is…”
