What it does

Pmla Citation And Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when formatting a PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association) essay in MLA style — in-text parenthetical citations keyed to a Works Cited list built from the MLA Handbook's template of core elements, plus quotation, translation, and discursive-note conventions. PMLA requires the most recent MLA Handbook. Handles citation mechanics; it does not write the argument.

Its SKILL.md is about 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, covering Citation management and Translation. 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

  • Discursive-note conventions
  • Tasks that involve Citation management
  • Tasks that involve Translation

Example prompts

  • “/pmla-citation-and-style”

Workflow steps

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

  1. In-text parenthetical citation. Cite author and page (or author and an appropriate locator) in
  2. Works Cited via core elements. Build each entry from the MLA template of core elements
  3. Editions and primary texts. Cite the reliable edition you actually quote; if the edition
  4. Quotation. Short quotations run into the text with quotation marks; longer passages set off as
  5. Translations and non-English sources. State your translation policy and apply it consistently;
  6. Discursive notes. PMLA permits substantive notes, but they count toward the 6,000–9,000-word

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

Pmla Citation And Style loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 433 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 433 words (~1,022 tokens).

“PMLA requires MLA style as set out in the most recent edition of the MLA Handbook — the field's own standard, not a generic Chicago or APA format. This skill handles the mechanics: in-text parenthetical citations, a Works Cited list…”
