What it does
Pnas Significance is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to write the mandatory PNAS Significance Statement — ≤120 words, written so an educated reader outside the field (down to an undergraduate) understands why the work matters. Distinct from the abstract. The highest-value PNAS-specific artifact.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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.
When your agent uses it
- Write the mandatory PNAS Significance Statement — ≤120 words
- Written so an educated reader outside the field (down to an undergraduate) understands why the work matters
Example prompts
- “/pnas-significance”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The problem / gap (1–2 sentences). What broad question or limitation does the field face? State the stakes plainly.
- What this work shows (1–2 sentences). The advance, in non-technical terms — the result, not the method.
- Why it matters (1–2 sentences). The consequence for the field, for other fields, or for society — what changes because of this.
- (Optional) one sentence on broader application or future direction, only if it is concrete.
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
Pnas Significance loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 650 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 650 words (~1,287 tokens).
“Every PNAS research article must include a Significance Statement — a short, mandatory, separately submitted paragraph that explains, in plain language, why the work matters to science and society. It appears prominently with the article and is read by editors…”
