What it does

Jama Scope Fit is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when judging whether a clinical study clears JAMA's general-medical-importance bar before investing in a full submission. Assesses fit and article-type match; it does NOT design the study or write the paper.

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 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 Clinical and healthcare research. 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

  • Judging whether a clinical study clears JAMAs general-medical-importance bar before investing in a full submission
  • Tasks that involve Clinical and healthcare research

Example prompts

  • “/jama-scope-fit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Does it change what a practicing clinician thinks or does? A result that only matters to a single subspecialty lab rarely fits; a result…
  2. Is the question clinically important, not just statistically novel? Mechanistic novelty alone is off-fit; patient-relevant outcomes…
  3. Is the evidence near the top of the design hierarchy for the question? RCTs, large well-controlled cohorts, rigorous diagnostic-accuracy…
  4. Is it timely and generalizable? Single-center convenience samples that do not generalize weaken fit.

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

Jama Scope Fit loads about 999 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~999

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 396 words (~999 tokens).
