What it does

Mksc Workflow is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when deciding which mksc- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a Marketing Science manuscript from modeling-driven topic selection through R&R rebuttal. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. 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 mksc- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing a Marketing Science manuscript from modeling-driven topic selection through R&R rebuttal

Example prompts

  • “/mksc-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. mksc-topic-selection — lock a modeling-worthy marketing question
  2. mksc-theory-development — build the analytical/structural model + identification
  3. mksc-literature-positioning — engage the modeling conversation you join
  4. mksc-methods — pick the genre and make the model estimable
  5. mksc-data-analysis — estimate, assess fit, run counterfactuals, robustness
  6. mksc-contribution-framing — name the primary contribution dimension
  7. mksc-tables-figures — finalize estimate/counterfactual exhibits in INFORMS style
  8. mksc-writing-style — front-load intuition; INFORMS author-year prose
  9. mksc-submission — ScholarOne preflight + replication-ready package
  10. mksc-review-process — set expectations for double-anonymous multi-round review
  11. mksc-rebuttal — after an R&R, revise then draft the response

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

Mksc Workflow loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 429 words (~1,063 tokens).

“This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you which mksc-* skill to use right now for your Marketing Science manuscript.”
