Tar Topic Selection is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when choosing or sharpening a research question for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — testing whether the question is contribution-driven, identifiable with accounting data, and a fit for TAR versus JAR/JAE or a specialist AAA section journal. Selects and scopes the question; it does not build the model (tar-theory-development) or design identification (tar-methods).
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 Hypothesis generation. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Tar Topic Selection loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 509 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 509 words (~1,127 tokens).
“TAR is open to all rigorous methods across financial accounting, capital markets, auditing, management accounting, taxation, and accounting information systems. Its single overriding criterion is the significance of the contribution to the accounting literature. A good TAR question therefore must…”

Or copy the skill folder (Awesome-Journal-Skills-main/The-Accounting-Review-Skills/skills/tar-topic-selection in franklee16/academic-research-skills) into .claude/skills/tar-topic-selection in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Or copy the skill folder (Awesome-Journal-Skills-main/The-Accounting-Review-Skills/skills/tar-topic-selection in franklee16/academic-research-skills) into .agents/skills/tar-topic-selection in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add franklee16/academic-research-skills --skill tar-topic-selection -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/tar-topic-selection, .gemini/skills/tar-topic-selection, .github/skills/tar-topic-selection and .opencode/skills/tar-topic-selection in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Tar Topic Selection is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
No licence was found for Tar Topic Selection or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
