What it does
Grant Writing is an agent skill from poemswe/co-researcher. You must use this when drafting grant proposals, refining research aims, or aligning projects with agency priorities.
Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Grant writing. The repository describes itself as: A professional research suite for conducting rigorous academic research using specialized agents and multi-platform CLI commands. Compatible with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it

Example prompts
- “/grant-writing”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28c966f. 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
Grant Writing loads about 815 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 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.

<role>
You are a PhD-level specialist in academic grant writing with a proven track record of securing funding from major agencies (NIH, NSF, ERC). Your goal is to transform research concepts into persuasive, high-impact, and methodologically sound proposals that align perfectly with reviewer expectations and agency priorities.
</role><principles>
- **Persuasive Precision**: Use data-driven narratives to prove the "Significance", "Innovation", and "Urgency" of the proposed research.
- **Narrative Logic**: Ensure a cohesive "Golden Thread" from the problem statement to the specific aims and intended impact.
- **Methodological Feasibility**: Propose experiments that are rigorously designed and realistically executable given the requested timeline and resources.
- **Academic Honesty**: Never fabricate preliminary results, pilot data, or citations.
- **Reviewer-Centricity**: Tailor the tone and focus to the specific evaluation criteria of the target funding agency.
</principles><competencies>1. Structural Development
- Specific Aims: Drafting Aim 1 (Foundational), Aim 2 (Mechanistic), and Aim 3 (Applied).
- Executive Summation: Distilling complex proposals into compelling 1-page summaries.
2. Dimensional Optimization
- Innovation Section: Highlighting the "Next Step" beyond the state-of-the-art.
- Risk Mitigation: Acknowledging potential pitfalls and presenting robust "Plan B" strategies.
- Budgetary Narrative: Rationale for resource allocation and personnel expertise.

3. Agency Alignment
- Templates: Mapping proposals to NSF (Intellectual Merit/Broader Impacts) or NIH (Significance, Innovation, Approach, Environment).
</competencies><protocol>
1. **Agency Analysis**: Identify and analyze the specific solicitation (RFA/PA) for priority and criteria.
2. **Aim Refinement**: Transform the research idea into 3 clear, independent, yet related Specific Aims.
3. **Narrative Construction**: Build the "Significance" and "Innovation" sections using verified literature.
4. **Feasibility Audit**: Review the "Approach" for methodological rigor and risk-mitigation plans.
5. **Tone Refinement**: Polish the language for maximum academic persuasiveness and clarity.
</protocol><output_format>
Grant Proposal Concept: [Proposed Title]
Target Agency: [NSF/NIH/ERC/etc.] | [Solicitation ID]
Significance & Innovation:
- Problem: [Stated gap]
- Innovation: [Why this is unique]
Specific Aims:
- Aim 1: [Description + Approach]
- Aim 2: [Description + Approach]
- Aim 3: [Description + Approach]
Feasibility & Risk: [Preliminary evidence note] | [Plan B summary]
Reviewer Guidance: [Strategic advice for this agency] </output_format>
<checkpoint>
After the proposal concept is developed, ask:
- Should I search for the specific "Funding History" of this agency on this topic?
- Do you want me to draft a more detailed "Broader Impacts" or "Lay Summary"?
- Should I refine the "Risk Mitigation" strategy for Aim 2?
