What it does

Lancet Research In Context is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to build The Lancet's signature Research in context panel — the three mandatory headed parts (Evidence before this study, Added value of this study, Implications of all the available evidence), grounded in a systematic literature search with stated databases, terms, and dates. Mandatory for original research Articles.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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. 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

  • Build The Lancets signature Research in context panel — the three mandatory headed parts (Evidence before this study
  • Added value of this study
  • Implications of all the available evidence)
  • Grounded in a systematic literature search with stated databases

Example prompts

  • “/lancet-research-in-context”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Evidence before this study
  2. Added value of this study
  3. Implications of all the available evidence

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 Research In Context loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 430 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 430 words (~1,185 tokens).

“The Research in context panel is The Lancet's signature artifact and is required for every original research Article. It forces authors to place their study inside a systematically searched evidence base — not a cherry-picked introduction. Editors and reviewers read…”
