What it does

Isr Methods is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when choosing and stress-testing the research design for an Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscript — matching the genre (behavioral empirical, analytical-economic modeling, design-science, or multimethod) to the question, and ensuring the design can actually support the IS contribution. Designs the study; it does not execute the estimation/derivation (isr-data-analysis) or frame the contribution (isr-contribution-framing).

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 Data & Analytics, covering Load testing and Data analysis. 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

  • Analytical-economic modeling
  • Multimethod) to the question
  • Ensuring the design can actually support the IS contribution

Example prompts

  • “/isr-methods”

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

Isr Methods loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 439 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 439 words (~1,144 tokens).

“ISR is deliberately pluralistic; no single method is mandated. Choose the genre the claim demands:”
