What it does

Est Literature Positioning is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when positioning an Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) manuscript against prior work across environmental chemistry, engineering, toxicology, and policy. ES&T is multidisciplinary, so the paper must engage the right literatures and state the knowledge gap it closes. It frames the gap and citations; it does not fabricate references.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 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 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 an Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) manuscript against prior work across environmental chemistry
  • Tasks that involve Positioning and messaging
  • Tasks that involve Citation management

Example prompts

  • “/est-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

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

  1. State the gap as a process question. Frame what is unknown about fate, transport,
  2. Engage across sub-fields. Cite the analytical, mechanistic, engineering, and (where relevant)
  3. Differentiate, don't dismiss. Say precisely how your concentrations, matrices, mechanisms, or
  4. Use authoritative sources. Prefer peer-reviewed work, agency datasets (EPA, NIST), and primary
  5. For Reviews/Perspectives: organize around an analytical framework, surface contradictions, and

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

Est Literature Positioning loads about 750 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 285 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~750

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 285 words (~750 tokens).

“ES&T draws a multidisciplinary readership, and editors decline work that does not engage the relevant literature or that re-derives what is already known. This skill positions the contribution: what is known, what is missing, and why this paper closes the…”
