What it does

Mind Literature Positioning is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when positioning a Mind article against the existing philosophical literature so the thesis reads as a genuine move in a live debate. Mind readers are expert across analytic philosophy, so the paper must engage the canonical and current statements of the view it targets, not a strawman. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature section for you.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging and Essays and academic help. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

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

Mind Literature Positioning loads about 890 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 380 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~890

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 380 words (~890 tokens).

“A Mind paper earns its place by making a move in an ongoing debate. Positioning is not throat-clearing — it shows the reader (and the referee) the exact disagreement you enter and why your thesis matters. Mind referees are specialists…”
