What it does
Mgsci Topic Selection is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when shaping or stress-testing a research question for Management Science (INFORMS) — confirming the decision-relevance bar, choosing the right Department lane (analytical vs empirical), and testing fit against sister INFORMS journals (Operations Research, M&SOM, Marketing Science) so the paper is not desk-rejected as "better suited elsewhere".
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 Load testing and Hypothesis generation. 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
- Stress-testing a research question for Management Science (INFORMS) — confirming the decision-relevance bar
- Choosing the right Department lane (analytical vs empirical)
- Testing fit against sister INFORMS journals (Operations Research
- Marketing Science) so the paper is not desk-rejected as better suited elsewhere
Example prompts
- “better suited elsewhere”
- “/mgsci-topic-selection”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Decision relevance. What management decision changes if the result holds? A model with no managerial reading, or an empirical fact with no…
- Which Department? Name it: Accounting; Behavioral Economics and Decision Analysis; Business Strategy; Data Science; Entrepreneurship &…
- Cross-department travel. Does the insight matter beyond a single niche? Management Science prizes results that a reader in another…
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
Mgsci Topic Selection loads about 998 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 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 390 words (~998 tokens).
“Management Science publishes work whose unifying test is methodological rigor plus a demonstrated contribution to management/business decision-making that travels across departments. It is deliberately bimethodological: a clean analytical model (OR/optimization, stochastic processes, game/economic theory) and a sharp empirical study (econometrics…”
