What it does

Cre Topic Selection is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when a 《中国农村经济》 manuscript is at the topic-selection stage and the 三农 scope fit, theoretical grounding, marginal-contribution sentences, or venue match are unsettled. Produces the contribution-sentence template and the 三农-fit checklist.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

  • Theoretical grounding
  • Marginal-contribution sentences
  • Venue match are unsettled

Example prompts

  • “/cre-topic-selection”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 三农场景:选题必须真正落在农业经济、农村发展或农民 / 农户行为上,第一段就要说明"为什么这是一个农村问题、为什么现在做"
  2. 理论贡献 + 政策现实并重:仅有"现象 + 描述统计 + 政策"不够,要能挂上一支理论(农户行为、土地制度、农业产业组织、发展经济学、农村金融等),同时回应乡村振兴 / 粮食安全等政策现实
  3. 边际贡献可枚举:能拆成 3–5 条独立的、互不重叠的贡献

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 Topic Selection loads about 518 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~518

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

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.
