What it does

Research Proposal Development is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Develop research proposals with solicitation alignment, reviewer-focused logic, evidence-bounded preliminary results, milestones, risks, and compelling figures. Use for federal, foundation, equipment, partnership, or internal research proposals.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/proposal-development.md`).

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Proposals and quotes and Project management. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Internal research proposals
  • Tasks that involve Proposals and quotes
  • Tasks that involve Project management

Example prompts

  • “/research-proposal-development”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Extract the solicitation's scope, eligibility, deadline, budget and duration constraints, required sections, evaluation criteria, and…
  2. Frame the need: high-value application or scientific barrier, current state, precise gap, reason it endures, and the proposed solution's…
  3. Map every aim or thrust to a hypothesis, method, measurable success criterion, risk, mitigation, deliverable, and reviewer criterion.
  4. Use preliminary results as evidence of feasibility, not proof of promised outcomes. Label planned partnerships, facilities, datasets, and…
  5. Make the figure plan do work: system concept, evidence of feasibility, causal mechanism, work plan, and quantitative success metrics.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78497e5. 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

Research Proposal Development loads about 547 tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 231 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~547
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.2k

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.

description
Develop research proposals with solicitation alignment, reviewer-focused logic, evidence-bounded preliminary results, milestones, risks, and compelling figures. Use for federal, foundation, equipment, partnership, or internal research proposals.

Research Proposal Development

Purpose

Turn an important research question into a reviewer-decision-ready proposal. Preserve the investigator's scientific direction and distinguish verified preliminary evidence, proposed work, assumptions, and collaborator-dependent commitments.

Route To Reference

Read references/proposal-development.md before drafting a full narrative, responding to review criteria, planning proposal figures, integrating preliminary results, or polishing a submission.

Workflow

  1. Extract the solicitation's scope, eligibility, deadline, budget and duration constraints, required sections, evaluation criteria, and special requirements from primary sources.
  2. Frame the need: high-value application or scientific barrier, current state, precise gap, reason it endures, and the proposed solution's testable advance.
  3. Map every aim or thrust to a hypothesis, method, measurable success criterion, risk, mitigation, deliverable, and reviewer criterion.
  4. Use preliminary results as evidence of feasibility, not proof of promised outcomes. Label planned partnerships, facilities, datasets, and external commitments unless confirmed.
  5. Make the figure plan do work: system concept, evidence of feasibility, causal mechanism, work plan, and quantitative success metrics.

Writing Rules

Each paragraph should answer one reviewer question. Avoid generic impact claims, unexplained work packages, and a list of tasks that does not produce knowledge. Explain why the team, methodology, and timeline make the proposed advance credible.

Final Review

Check factual solicitation alignment, budget/timeline consistency, references, labels on preliminary versus proposed material, and all claimed collaborator, institutional, or facility commitments. Flag requirements that require institutional review rather than inventing compliance language.
