What it does

Spq Literature Positioning is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when positioning a Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a contribution to sociological social psychology. SPQ readers expect engagement with the field's own traditions and theoretical programs — symbolic interaction, social structure and personality, group processes, identity, affect — not a generic citation pile or a purely psychological framing. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging 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

  • Tasks that involve Positioning and messaging
  • Tasks that involve Citation management

Example prompts

  • “/spq-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Engage a program, not a pile of citations. Place the paper in a recognizable tradition (symbolic
  2. Speak as a sociologist of the self. Frame the contribution around the structure–individual link.
  3. Name the gap precisely. Not "little is known" — say what is contested, mismeasured, under-theorized,
  4. Position the contribution as a move in the program. "Identity theory predicts X via verification;
  5. Pre-empt the obvious objection. SPQ reviewers know the theory; acknowledge the strongest rival

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

Spq Literature Positioning loads about 998 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 406 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~998

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 406 words (~998 tokens).

“An SPQ paper has to land inside a conversation in sociological social psychology, not in psychology broadly or in macro sociology. Reviewers are drawn from the field's traditions and theoretical programs; they expect you to engage the right ones. Positioning…”
