What it does

Crim Literature Positioning is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when positioning a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a contribution to the field's live debates, not a citation pile.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging and Citation management. 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

  • Positioning a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a contribution to the fields live debates
  • Not a citation pile

Example prompts

  • “/crim-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Engage the debate, not a pile of citations. Identify the live disagreement or open question —
  2. Name the theoretical tradition. Locate the paper within (or against) a recognizable theory —
  3. Two audiences at once. Satisfy the specialists (you know the frontier) and the
  4. Name the gap precisely. Not "little is known" — say what is **contested, mismeasured,
  5. Pre-empt the obvious objection. Reviewers are expert; name the strongest rival mechanism and say

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

Crim Literature Positioning loads about 956 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 369 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~956

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 369 words (~956 tokens).

“A common reason criminology papers stall is that they read as "another dataset" rather than a move in a theoretical debate. Positioning is therefore not throat-clearing — it places the paper where a general criminology audience can see the open…”
