  • Select and apply the correct EQUATOR reporting guideline for a Lancet manuscript — CONSORT for RCTs (with the mandatory flow diagram)

What it does

Lancet Reporting is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to select and apply the correct EQUATOR reporting guideline for a Lancet manuscript — CONSORT for RCTs (with the mandatory flow diagram), STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for systematic reviews/meta-analyses, SPIRIT for protocols — and to attach the completed checklist and study-flow diagram.

Its SKILL.md is about 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 Research & Science, covering Literature review, ORMs and data access and Diagrams. It works with Prisma. 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

  • Select and apply the correct EQUATOR reporting guideline for a Lancet manuscript — CONSORT for RCTs (with the mandatory flow diagram)
  • STROBE for observational studies
  • PRISMA for systematic reviews/meta-analyses
  • SPIRIT for protocols — and to attach the completed checklist and study-flow diagram

Example prompts

  • “/lancet-reporting”

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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • equator-network.org
    • consort-statement.org
    • strobe-statement.org
    • prisma-statement.org

    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 Reporting loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 359 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 359 words (~1,026 tokens).

“The Lancet requires the appropriate EQUATOR Network reporting guideline and a completed checklist on submission.”
