What it does
Fcr Cover Letter is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when writing the cover letter for a Field Crops Research (FCR) submission to the Editors-in-Chief. The letter must establish scope fit (field-based, multi-season/-environment, a field crop, generally significant), state the novel contribution and article type, and confirm originality and data availability. Drafts the letter; it does not contact editors or invent claims.
Its SKILL.md is about 910 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Resume and CV writing and Creative writing and fiction. 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 the cover letter for a Field Crops Research (FCR) submission to the Editors-in-Chief
- Tasks that involve Resume and CV writing
- Tasks that involve Creative writing and fiction
Example prompts
- “/fcr-cover-letter”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Address the Editors-in-Chief and name the journal and the article type (Original Research
- Establish scope fit in one short paragraph. State that the work is field-based, spans
- State the novel contribution. One or two sentences: what new scientific insight, technology, or
- Confirm the essentials. Original work, not under consideration elsewhere; all authors approve;
- Be brief and specific. Roughly one page; no hype; let the agronomic significance speak.
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
Fcr Cover Letter loads about 909 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 282 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 282 words (~909 tokens).
“The cover letter is the editor's first scope check. Because FCR has a strict scope boundary, the letter's job is to show — in a few sentences — that the paper is field-based, multi-environment, on a field crop, and generally…”
