What it does

Trends In Cognitive Sciences is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when targeting Trends in Cognitive Sciences (TiCS) or deciding whether a cognitive science synthesis, opinion, or review fits this venue. Encodes the journal's invited-review culture, fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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

  • Targeting Trends in Cognitive Sciences (TiCS)
  • Deciding whether a cognitive science synthesis
  • Review fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/trends-in-cognitive-sciences”

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

Trends In Cognitive Sciences loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 964 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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 964 words (~2,059 tokens).

“Trends in Cognitive Sciences (TiCS), published by Cell Press, is one of the leading review and opinion journals in cognitive science, occupying a niche at the intersection of cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, linguistics, computational modelling, and philosophy of mind. Critically…”
