- Tasks that involve Experimental design
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Methodology Skills is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. 12 research methodology skills. Trigger: study design, methodology selection, scientific reasoning, mentoring. Design: rigorous methods frameworks covering qualitative, quantitative, and mixed approaches.
Its SKILL.md is about 500 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 Experimental design. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Experimental design
Example prompts
- “/methodology-skills”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. 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
Methodology Skills loads about 496 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 136 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.
