What it does
Monthly Workflow is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Create and operate a file-based monthly planning, daily work log, task board, decision log, weekly review, and monthly settlement workflow. Use when the user wants to plan a month, track daily tasks, maintain honest progress records, monitor goals, review a week/month, archive work, or turn a personal/project sprint into reusable Markdown logs.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `assets/templates/START_HERE.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Architecture decision records and Journaling and reflection. 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
- The user wants to plan a month
- Track daily tasks
- Maintain honest progress records
- Review a week/month
Example prompts
- “/monthly-workflow”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Initialize A Monthly Workspace
- Plan The Month
- Start A Day
- Close A Day
- Manage Workstreams
- Review Weekly Or Monthly
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
Monthly Workflow loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 712 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 712 words (~1,487 tokens).
“Use this skill to help a user run a month-long work system with file-based memory. The workflow is domain-agnostic: research, study, writing, coding, freelancing, team projects, career prep, fitness, or any recurring goal system.”
