What it does

Research Methods Router is an agent skill from wentorai/Research-Claw. 科研方法能力入口:研究设计、系统综述、证据评价、同行评议与基金。Use for methodology, deep research, reviews, evidence grading, and funding.

Its SKILL.md is about 160 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 Deep research. The repository describes itself as: In the AI era, why can't everyone be a Principal Investigator?

When your agent uses it

  • Evidence grading
  • Tasks that involve Deep research

Example prompts

  • “/research-methods-router”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Call skill_search with the study type, population or evidence scope, and
  2. Select one specific stable Skill ID.
  3. Call skill_load once and follow the loaded method.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5015be7. 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 Methods Router loads about 163 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 69 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~163

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 69 words (~163 tokens).

“Use this router for study design, systematic or scoping reviews, evidence grading, deep research, manuscript review, reproducibility, or funding methods.”
