What it does

Nejm Reporting is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to select and enforce the correct EQUATOR reporting guideline for a clinical study — CONSORT for RCTs (with the participant flow diagram), STROBE for observational, PRISMA for systematic reviews — and to build the required checklist and diagram before submission.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 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 ORMs and data access and Literature review. It works with Prisma. 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

  • Select and enforce the correct EQUATOR reporting guideline for a clinical study — CONSORT for RCTs (with the participant flow diagram)
  • STROBE for observational
  • PRISMA for systematic reviews — and to build the required checklist and diagram before submission

Example prompts

  • “/nejm-reporting”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Enrollment — assessed for eligibility; excluded (with reasons); randomized.
  2. Allocation — allocated to each arm; received allocated intervention or not.
  3. Follow-up — lost to follow-up and discontinued (with reasons), per arm.
  4. Analysis — analyzed; excluded from analysis (with reasons), per arm.

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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • equator-network.org

    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

Nejm Reporting loads about 993 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 356 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~993

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 356 words (~993 tokens).
