What it does
Pnas Workflow is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when deciding which pnas- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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. 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
- Deciding which pnas- sub-skill to invoke next
- Sequencing a manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
Example prompts
- “/pnas-workflow”
Workflow steps
11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- pnas-fit — clear the broad-significance bar; confirm PNAS is the right venue
- pnas-track — pick Direct vs Contributed (do this early; it shapes handling)
- pnas-writing — structure, length, classification + keywords, Methods placement
- pnas-figures — finalize display items within budget
- pnas-statistics — rigor & reproducibility reporting
- pnas-data — data / code availability + deposition
- pnas-significance — the ≤120-word Significance Statement (high-value)
- pnas-abstract — ≤250-word self-contained abstract (late polish)
- pnas-citation — PNAS numbered reference style (late polish)
- pnas-submission — preflight + cover letter
- pnas-rebuttal — after review
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 Workflow loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 725 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 725 words (~1,521 tokens).
“This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you which pnas-* skill to use at the current stage of a manuscript aimed at PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).”
