What it does
Prl Figures is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when designing or auditing figures for a Physical Review Letters manuscript, where a few high-impact figures must carry the central result and count against the length limit. Designs figure strategy; does not run the analysis or write prose.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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.
When your agent uses it
- Auditing figures for a Physical Review Letters manuscript
- Where a few high-impact figures must carry the central result and count against the length limit
Example prompts
- “/prl-figures”
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
Prl Figures loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 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 511 words (~1,097 tokens).
“A Letter carries a few high-impact figures only — typically on the order of three or four, sometimes fewer. Every figure must earn its place against the deductible length limit (figures consume the word budget; see prl-length-management). The hierarchy:”
