  • Defending the research design of a World Politics manuscript — comparative-historical and case selection
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, Comparative-historical &…, Quantitative / cross-national and Experiments & formal-empirical, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Quantitative cross-national identification

What it does

Wp Research Design is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when defending the research design of a World Politics manuscript — comparative-historical and case selection, quantitative cross-national identification, qualitative process tracing, experiments, or formal-empirical linkage for cross-case questions. World Politics expects explicit research design and appropriate methods, judged on each tradition's own terms. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.

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.

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

  • Defending the research design of a World Politics manuscript — comparative-historical and case selection
  • Quantitative cross-national identification
  • Qualitative process tracing
  • Formal-empirical linkage for cross-case questions

Example prompts

  • “/wp-research-design”

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

Wp Research Design loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 427 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
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 427 words (~1,115 tokens).

“World Politics asks every article to "be explicit about its research design and use appropriate methods," and applies separate expectations to quantitative and qualitative work. Because the journal values arguments that travel across cases, the design must connect a portable…”
