What it does

Jaar Theory And Method is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when articulating the theory and method of a Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) article. JAAR prizes method-conscious, reflexive, non-confessional scholarship and explicitly publishes studies of the methodologies by which religion is explored. Sharpens the theoretical/methodological frame; it does not gather sources.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 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

  • Articulating the theory and method of a Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) article

Example prompts

  • “/jaar-theory-and-method”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Name the framework. Whether phenomenological, historical-critical, social-theoretical,
  2. Method as argument. Show how the method produces the reading; don't apply a theory decoratively.
  3. Reflexivity. Acknowledge your standpoint and its effects; distinguish description of believers'
  4. Comparison done responsibly. If comparing traditions/cases, justify the tertium comparationis
  5. Categories under scrutiny. Be alert to loaded categories (religion, myth, ritual, mysticism,

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 Theory And Method loads about 812 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 297 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~812

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 297 words (~812 tokens).

“What most distinguishes a JAAR article from a specialist-journal article is methodological self-awareness. JAAR publishes not only studies of traditions but studies of the methods by which religion is explored, and it expects scholarship to be reflexive and non-confessional. This…”
