Academic Paper Strategist
AAASS554/codex-academic-paper-skills
A skill your agent uses when the user needs to plan, de-risk, or ground a software engineering / computer science undergraduate thesis from a real codebase before final writing.
This skill should be used when the user says "pressure-test my thesis", "steel-man the short", "pre-mortem this long", "variant perception on [TICKER]", "decompose the thesis into testable claims"…

What it does
Thesis is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. This skill should be used when the user says "pressure-test my thesis", "steel-man the short", "pre-mortem this long", "variant perception on [TICKER]", "decompose the thesis into testable claims", "regime map", "build my disconfirmation plan", "my PM disagrees with me", or "prep me for IC pushback".
Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/prompts.md`).
It sits in Education, covering Essays and academic help. The repository describes itself as: Synthesis engine for buy-side healthcare equity research. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Says pressure-test my thesis
- Steel-man the short
- Pre-mortem this long
- Variant perception on [TICKER]
Example prompts
- “pressure-test my thesis”
- “steel-man the short”
- “pre-mortem this long”
- “/thesis”

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c7bda8. 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
Thesis loads about 960 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 428 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.
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.

Thesis Development & Pressure-Testing
Sharpen, attack, and defend an investment thesis — the goal is to be right, not confirmed. Prompts in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/thesis/references/prompts.md.
Route by need
| Need | Prompt |
|---|---|
| Where can I differ from consensus? | INIT-03 variant perception generator |
| Before sizing up a long | THES-01 pre-mortem |
| The bull case feels obvious | THES-02 steel-man the short |
| Thesis feels right but unfalsifiable | THES-03 decomposition into testable claims |
| Macro/policy regime dependence | THES-04 regime map stress test |
| Formalize the search for contrary evidence | THES-05 disconfirming-evidence plan |
| 3+ notes dropped; map consensus dispersion | SS-01 multi-broker triangulation |
| Disagreement with the PM | PORT-05 constructive disagreement |
| Contrarian view into a hostile IC | PORT-06 IC defence plan |
| "Is this AI health story investable?" | SUB-DIG-02 investability test |
Execution rules
- Adversarial stance is the point: refuse to average bull and bear or split differences (INIT-03's instruction); demand mechanism, not valuation alone (THES-02); classify bear arguments as structural vs theoretical-without-evidence.
- Every thesis claim gets a falsifier — the variant-perception test from the framework applies: disagreement must be an explicit market-implied variable, evidence must support the stated implication for that variable, the difference must survive probability weighting, a catalyst must be able to resolve it, and an observable must be able to break it. A thesis failing any leg is a narrative, not a thesis.
- Source the attack surface from the engines: the smart short's clinical critique → clinical-catalysts readout-handicap; reimbursement fragility → cms-reimbursement; adoption-vs-story gaps → provider-adoption + procedure-exposure. Cite their EVIDENCE BRIEFs on both sides of the argument.
- Monitoring outputs (THES-01's signals, THES-05's calendar) feed the sell-discipline skill's watchlist (SELL-02) — hand them over explicitly, with thresholds and pre-committed actions.
- People-dynamics prompts (PORT-05/06) follow their scripts: separate the disagreement's components, steel-man first, minimum viable argument, falsification offer, commit-and-review rule, and write the one-paragraph record.
- Standing instructions govern: disconfirming evidence and the fastest way to break the thesis appear in every output; end with the confidence score.

Designation and access-friction rules (v0.2)
- De-hype designations: Breakthrough/Fast Track/RMAT are timeline evidence, never efficacy evidence — BTD compresses development ~3.2 years with no measured efficacy edge and smaller, more often single-arm pivotals (clinical-catalysts
base-rates.md). A thesis leaning on a designation as quality signal is a red flag in INIT-03/THES-03 decomposition; re-price off trial design. - REMS/ETASU as a TAM haircut: restricted-distribution programs (certification, registries, monitoring) are quantifiable launch friction — apply an explicit accessible-population/uptake-pace haircut rather than a qualitative caveat, and route the access mechanics to cms-reimbursement coverage-check.
- Safety class contagion: one class member's boxed warning or adverse readout is a class repricing event — when steel-manning (THES-02), check the whole class's safety calendar, not just the name's (clinical-catalysts quality-signals).

Thesis is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. This skill should be used when the user says "pressure-test my thesis", "steel-man the short", "pre-mortem this long", "variant perception on [TICKER]", "decompose the thesis into testable claims", "regime map", "build my disconfirmation plan", "my PM disagrees with me", or "prep me for IC pushback".
When should I use Thesis?
Thesis fits situations like: says pressure-test my thesis; steel-man the short; pre-mortem this long; variant perception on [TICKER].
How do I install Thesis in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity --skill thesis -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/thesis in hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity) into .claude/skills/thesis in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Thesis in Codex?
Run `npx skills add hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity --skill thesis -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/thesis in hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity) into .agents/skills/thesis in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Thesis in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity --skill thesis -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/thesis, .gemini/skills/thesis, .github/skills/thesis and .opencode/skills/thesis in your project.
What does Thesis need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Thesis is instructions for the agent only.
Does Thesis access the network?
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.
Is Thesis safe to install?
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.
What licence does Thesis use?
Thesis is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Thesis use?
About 960 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
