What it does
Cre Mechanism is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when designing or writing mechanism analyses for a 《中国农村经济》 empirical manuscript. Mechanism tests grounded in household-level behavior are near-mandatory for empirical submissions.
Its SKILL.md is about 430 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
- Writing mechanism analyses for a 《中国农村经济》 empirical manuscript
Example prompts
- “/cre-mechanism”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 理论指引：机制变量必须能挂上农户行为 / 土地制度 / 农村金融等理论
- 时间一致：机制变量 M 的测量时点要在处理 D 之后、结果 Y 之前（农户面板尤其要注意调查年份的先后）
- 可证伪：能写出"如果机制成立 → 应观察到农户在 X 上变化；如果不成立 → 应观察到 Y"
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
Cre Mechanism loads about 434 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 109 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 109 words (~434 tokens).
