What it does

Socs Concept Building is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to extract concepts or mechanisms from empirical materials for 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — naming a phenomenon, defining it, bounding it, and moving back and forth between materials and sociological theory. Use especially for qualitative work that risks staying at the level of description.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 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

  • Extract concepts
  • Mechanisms from empirical materials for 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — naming a phenomenon
  • Moving back and forth between materials and sociological theory

Example prompts

  • “/socs-concept-building”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 命名:贴切、可记、不歧义(避免生造黑话)
  2. 界定:是什么、不是什么,与近邻概念的区别
  3. 机制内核:概念背后是哪条社会过程(接 socs-mechanism-social-process)
  4. 适用边界:在什么条件下成立,外推到哪里为止

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

Socs Concept Building loads about 346 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 34 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~346

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 34 words (~346 tokens).
