What it does
Cell Workflow is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when deciding which cell- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for Cell (Cell Press). Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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
- Deciding which cell- sub-skill to invoke next
- Sequencing a manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for Cell (Cell Press)
Example prompts
- “/cell-workflow”
Workflow steps
11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- cell-fit — clear the complete-mechanistic-story bar first
- cell-framing — lock the single narrative arc (hypothesis → mechanism → significance)
- cell-writing — Article structure and length discipline
- cell-figures — finalize display items within budget
- cell-star-methods — Key Resources Table + Resource Availability + QSA
- cell-data — data / code deposition and the availability statement
- cell-summary — the ≤150-word Summary (late polish)
- cell-highlights — Highlights + eTOC blurb + Graphical Abstract (late polish)
- cell-citation — author–date reference pass
- cell-submission — cover letter + preflight
- cell-rebuttal — after review
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 Workflow loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 702 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 702 words (~1,503 tokens).
“This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you which cell-* skill to use at the current stage of a manuscript aimed at Cell (Cell Press).”
