What it does

Socs Problematic is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to build a sociological problem consciousness (问题意识) for 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — turning a variable relationship or a pile of fieldwork into a question about how a social mechanism, structure, or process works. Use when the manuscript still reads as "X affects Y" without a sociological stake.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 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

  • Build a sociological problem consciousness (问题意识) for 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — turning a variable relationship
  • A pile of fieldwork into a question about how a social mechanism
  • The manuscript still reads as X affects Y without a sociological stake

Example prompts

  • “X affects Y”
  • “/socs-problematic”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 从结果到机制:不止问"是否相关",问"经由什么社会过程"
  2. 从个体到结构:把个体行为放回关系、制度、文化结构中
  3. 从特例到理论关切:这个案例/相关在挑战或印证哪条社会学判断

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 Problematic loads about 336 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 37 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
~336

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 37 words (~336 tokens).
