At a glance
Design research plans and paper architectures. An agent skill from lingzhi227/agent-research-skills.
- Works in 4 steps: Understand the Research Context → Generate Research Plan → Structure the Paper → …
- Starting a new research project
- SKILL.md covers Input, References, Workflow and Output Format, plus 2 more sections
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Research Planning is an agent skill from lingzhi227/agent-research-skills. Design research plans and paper architectures. Given a research topic or idea, generate structured plans with methodology outlines, paper structure, dependency-ordered task lists, UML diagrams, and experiment designs. Use when starting a new research project or paper.
Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/output-schemas.md` and `references/planning-prompts.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Diagrams, Experimental design and Task breakdown. The repository describes itself as: Skills for Claude Code — deep-research: systematic academic literature review.
When your agent uses it
- Starting a new research project
- Tasks that involve Diagrams
- Tasks that involve Experimental design
Example prompts
- “/research-planning”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Understand the Research Context
- Generate Research Plan
- Structure the Paper
- Create Task Dependency Graph
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e6c085. 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 (its code samples are json).
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 Planning loads about 721 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 223 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 223 words (~721 tokens).
