What it does
Io Theory Building is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when building the theoretical argument of an International Organization (IO) manuscript into a generalizable theory of international politics — whether rationalist/formal (bargaining, signaling, delegation, cooperation), constructivist/ideational, or empirical with explicit international mechanisms. IO rewards a portable IR theory over a bare finding. Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.
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.
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
- Constructivist/ideational
- Empirical with explicit international mechanisms
Example prompts
- “/io-theory-building”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Concept — define the key IR construct precisely (e.g., institutional legitimacy, audience cost,
- International mechanism — the causal story at/across the international level: which actors
- Observable implications — what we should see if the mechanism operates internationally (and what
- Scope conditions — which regimes, issue areas, or structural conditions the argument holds under.
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
Io Theory Building loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 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 448 words (~1,091 tokens).
“IO publishes "articles that propose generalizable theories" of international politics. A result is not an IO contribution until it is attached to an IR theory the field can carry to other cases, dyads, and institutions. This skill turns findings into…”
