What it does

Prl Workflow is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when deciding which prl- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from scope-fit through revision for a Physical Review Letters (PRL) manuscript. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 which prl- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing manuscript work from scope-fit through revision for a Physical Review Letters (PRL) manuscript

Example prompts

  • “/prl-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. prl-scope-fit — settle the importance + broad-interest gate first; redirect to PR A–E / PR Research if it fails
  2. prl-results-framing — lock the single central claim and its broad significance
  3. prl-methods — keep only what a physicist needs to trust the result; the rest goes to SM
  4. prl-figures — design the lead figure to convey the central result at a glance
  5. prl-supplementary — partition derivations / extended data into SM; the Letter must stand alone
  6. prl-writing-style — APS house style, concision, defined notation
  7. prl-length-management — fit the deductible limit; trim ruthlessly (do this AFTER content is stable)
  8. prl-cover-letter — argue the importance + broad-interest case to the editors
  9. prl-submission — final preflight (format, files, classification, metadata)
  10. prl-referee-strategy — suggested / opposed referees; pre-empt likely objections
  11. prl-revision — after the referee reports arrive

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 Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 682 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 682 words (~1,409 tokens).

“This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you which prl-* skill to use at your current stage.”
