What it does

Tar Contribution Framing is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when results exist but the accounting contribution is thin or implicit for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — turning findings into an explicit statement of what the field now knows, with credible bounds and implications. Frames the contribution; it does not build the mechanism (tar-theory-development) or position against the literature (tar-literature-positioning).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping and Positioning and messaging. 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

  • Results exist but the accounting contribution is thin
  • Implicit for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — turning findings into an explicit statement of what the field now knows
  • With credible bounds and implications

Example prompts

  • “/tar-contribution-framing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. To the literature. Name the conversation (from tar-literature-positioning) and state the
  2. To measurement / method (if applicable). A new accounting measure, a cleaner identification of
  3. To practice / policy (where warranted). Implications for disclosure regulation, auditing

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

Tar Contribution Framing loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 464 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 464 words (~1,075 tokens).

“TAR's overriding publication criterion is the significance of the contribution to the accounting literature. Method openness means a clean identification or an elegant model is necessary but not sufficient — the paper must change how accounting researchers (and, where relevant…”
