What it does

Jaar Sources And Evidence is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when handling the evidence base of a Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) article — primary texts, traditions, historical documents, material/visual sources, or ethnographic fieldwork. Plans rigorous, transparent source work for humanities scholarship in the study of religion; it does not run statistics.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 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 Statistics. 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

  • Handling the evidence base of a Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) article — primary texts
  • Historical documents
  • Material/visual sources
  • Ethnographic fieldwork

Example prompts

  • “/jaar-sources-and-evidence”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Cite from primary sources. Ground claims in the texts/traditions/objects themselves, not only in
  2. Languages and translation. Work from originals where the argument depends on wording; state which
  3. Provenance, dating, and context. Establish what a source is, when/where it comes from, and its
  4. Representativeness and selection. Be explicit about why these sources/cases; do not generalize a
  5. Fieldwork/ethnography. Describe access, consent, and positionality; protect interlocutors;
  6. Disconfirming evidence. Engage sources that cut against the thesis rather than omitting them.

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

Jaar Sources And Evidence loads about 882 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 342 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~882

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 342 words (~882 tokens).

“Religious-studies scholarship rests on primary materials: scriptures and commentaries, ritual and liturgical texts, historical archives, material and visual culture, or fieldwork. JAAR judges whether your handling of these sources is careful, well-situated, and adequate to the claim. This is humanities…”
