What it does

Ceq Mechanism is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when a 《经济学(季刊)》 (China Economic Quarterly, CEQ) manuscript has a credible main effect but the channel/mechanism is asserted rather than evidenced — to design tests that distinguish competing channels and provide falsifiable mechanism evidence. Use after identification is settled.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 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

  • A 《经济学(季刊)》 (China Economic Quarterly

Example prompts

  • “/ceq-mechanism”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 有理论命题:机制 M 推出一个可证伪的实证含义。
  2. 能区分竞争渠道:设计能把 M 与 M' 分开,而非笼统"存在影响"。
  3. 与主识别同源:机制检验尽量沿用主设计的外生变异,而非另起一套内生回归。

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

Ceq Mechanism loads about 352 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 74 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~352

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 74 words (~352 tokens).
