What it does

Cell Writing is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to structure a Cell Article and hold its length — Summary, Introduction, Results, Discussion, STAR Methods, figure legends, references — with main-text length and display-item budgets, and Results subheadings driving the single arc.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Interview preparation. 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

  • Structure a Cell Article and hold its length — Summary
  • References — with main-text length and display-item budgets
  • Results subheadings driving the single arc

Example prompts

  • “/cell-writing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Summary — single paragraph, ≤ ~150 words (cell-summary).
  2. Introduction — ≈3–4 short paragraphs setting up the hypothesis (cell-framing).
  3. Results — the bulk; organized by the arc, with descriptive subheadings.
  4. Discussion — concise interpretation, limitations, significance; does not re-list results.
  5. STAR Methods — Structured, Transparent, Accessible Reporting (separate skill, cell-star-methods).
  6. Figure legends — each stands alone (title + per-panel + statistics).
  7. References — author–date style (cell-citation).
  8. Supplemental information — supporting figures/tables/videos.

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 Writing loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 474 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 474 words (~1,085 tokens).
