What it does
Lancet Abstract is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to write The Lancet's structured abstract — ≤300 words under the exact headings Background, Methods, Findings, Interpretation, Funding — leading with the clinical question, reporting the primary outcome with effect size and 95% CI, citing the registration number, and naming the funder.
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
- Write The Lancets structured abstract — ≤300 words under the exact headings Background
- Funding — leading with the clinical question
- Reporting the primary outcome with effect size and 95% CI
- Citing the registration number
Example prompts
- “/lancet-abstract”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Background — the clinical/public-health problem and the specific question. One or two sentences.
- Methods — design, setting (and countries, for multi-country trials), participants and eligibility, intervention/exposure and comparator…
- Findings (not "Results") — recruitment dates and numbers analysed; the primary outcome with effect size and 95% CI (absolute and relative…
- Interpretation (not "Conclusions") — what the findings mean for practice or policy, calibrated to the design; the single most important…
- Funding — name the funder(s) (and "none" if unfunded). The Lancet requires the funding source in the abstract.
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
Lancet Abstract loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 322 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 322 words (~1,067 tokens).
“The Lancet uses a structured abstract of ≤300 words (confirm the exact cap in the current author guidelines) under these specific headings — and the wording of two of them is distinctive:”
- name
- lancet-abstract
