  • Defending the field-experiment
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, Field-experiment design…, Genotype/treatment ×… and Crop-modelling design, plus 4 more sections

  • Modelling design of a Field Crops Research (FCR) manuscript — multi-environment trials

What it does

Fcr Experimental Design is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when designing or defending the field-experiment or modelling design of a Field Crops Research (FCR) manuscript — multi-environment trials, randomization and replication, blocking and split-plot layouts, genotype-by-environment (G×E) structure, and crop-model calibration/validation. FCR expects field experiments to span at least two seasons and/or multiple environments. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Research & Science, covering Experimental design, Performance reviews and Database administration. 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

  • Defending the field-experiment
  • Modelling design of a Field Crops Research (FCR) manuscript — multi-environment trials
  • Randomization and replication
  • Blocking and split-plot layouts

Example prompts

  • “/fcr-experimental-design”

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 Experimental Design loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 418 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 418 words (~1,121 tokens).

“FCR is demanding about field-experimental rigour. The design must credibly connect the agronomic question to evidence that generalises across environments. The single most important FCR-specific rule: field experiments should, unless exceptional circumstances apply, span at least two seasons and/or multiple…”
