What it does

Socs Theory Dialogue is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to build genuine dialogue with classic and contemporary sociological theory for 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — entering a theoretical lineage (stratification, networks, institutions, culture, action) rather than piling up recent empirical citations. Use when the literature review is a variable list, not a conversation.

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.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Literature review and Citation management. 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

  • Action) rather than piling up recent empirical citations
  • The literature review is a variable list
  • Not a conversation

Example prompts

  • “/socs-theory-dialogue”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 经典脉络:分层与阶级、社会团结与失范、科层与权威、资本与场域、互动与意义建构等社会学传统问题
  2. 当代中层理论:社会网络与社会资本、制度与组织、生命历程、文化与认知、关系/过程社会学
  3. 本土经验的理论化:从中国社会过程(关系、单位、家户、流动、基层治理)提炼并与一般理论对话

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 Theory Dialogue loads about 337 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 36 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~337

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.
