What it does

Prl Scope Fit is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when deciding whether a physics result clears Physical Review Letters' importance-and-broad-interest gate, or whether it belongs in Physical Review A–E / PR Research. Diagnoses venue fit; does not write or frame the result.

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

  • Deciding whether a physics result clears Physical Review Letters importance-and-broad-interest gate
  • Whether it belongs in Physical Review A–E / PR Research

Example prompts

  • “/prl-scope-fit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Importance — Does the result substantially advance its field? A genuinely new effect, a decisive measurement, a qualitative resolution of…
  2. Broad interest — Would physicists outside the immediate subfield want to know this? A result is broad if it changes how a neighboring…

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 Scope Fit loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 510 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 510 words (~1,122 tokens).

“PRL publishes Letters across all of physics — condensed matter, AMO, particle/nuclear, gravitation/astro, statistical/soft, quantum information, and more. The gate is two tests, AND-ed:”
