What it does
Pmla Textual Evidence And Close Reading is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when marshalling textual evidence and close reading as the evidence base of a PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association) essay. In literary studies the text is the data — claims are earned through careful reading of language, form, and context, quoted accurately and cited in MLA style. Strengthens the reading; it does not run analyses or invent passages.
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.
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
Pmla Textual Evidence And Close Reading loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 441 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 441 words (~1,018 tokens).
“In literary and language studies the text is the evidence. A PMLA essay earns its argument by reading closely — attending to language, form, structure, and context — and by quoting accurately from a reliable edition. There is no dataset…”
