What it does

Psychbull Theory Integration is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when turning the synthesis results of a Psychological Bulletin manuscript into a genuine theoretical contribution — reconciling conflicting findings, building or refining a model, and stating scope conditions and a research agenda. Makes the synthesis matter; it does not run the analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 890 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

  • Refining a model
  • Stating scope conditions and a research agenda

Example prompts

  • “/psychbull-theory-integration”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Answer the field's open question. State what the synthesis resolves: the size of an effect, why
  2. Reconcile conflict with the moderators. Use the moderator/meta-regression results to explain
  3. Build or refine a model. Translate the empirical pattern into a theoretical statement: an
  4. State scope conditions honestly. Where does the effect hold, and where not? Heterogeneity and
  5. Set the agenda. What should primary researchers do next — the gaps, the under-powered cells, the

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

Psychbull Theory Integration loads about 889 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~889

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 365 words (~889 tokens).

“A Psychological Bulletin paper is judged not by the size of its table but by what the synthesis means for psychology. The journal publishes evaluative and integrative reviews — the value is in interpreting an existing literature, reconciling its contradictions…”
