What it does

Lancet Workflow is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when deciding which lancet- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a clinical or global-health manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for The Lancet. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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

  • Deciding which lancet- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing a clinical
  • Global-health manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for The Lancet

Example prompts

  • “/lancet-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. lancet-fit — clear the importance / global-relevance / policy bar first
  2. lancet-study-design — registration, protocol + SAP, design rigor
  3. lancet-reporting — EQUATOR guideline + flow diagram for the study type
  4. lancet-statistics — pre-specified analysis, ITT, CIs, subgroups
  5. lancet-figures-tables — Table 1, KM, forest, study-flow diagram
  6. lancet-research-in-context — the signature three-part panel (systematic search)
  7. lancet-abstract — structured abstract (Findings/Interpretation/Funding) ≤300 words
  8. lancet-writing — main-text structure and length; cautious Discussion
  9. lancet-ethics — declaration of interests, role of funding, data sharing, equity
  10. lancet-submission — preflight + cover letter
  11. lancet-rebuttal — after review

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 Workflow loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 674 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 674 words (~1,532 tokens).

“This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you which lancet-* skill to use at the current stage of a manuscript aimed at The Lancet.”
