What it does
School Select is an agent skill from xujingchen1996/research-app-toolkit. Use when the user asks for school recommendations, program selection, PhD program discovery, MRes program comparison, or university comparison. Based on the application profile, budget, region, and timeline, identify and compare research programs and return reach, match, and safety recommendations.
Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Research Application Toolkit - Claude Code plugin for PhD, MRes, MPhil applications. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks for school recommendations
- Program selection
- PhD program discovery
- MRes program comparison
Example prompts
- “/school-select”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Prioritize checking official program pages to confirm
- If the user cares about rankings, then additionally check the corresponding ranking source.
- Combine the user's background in memory.md to build three tiers
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d84dbc0. 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
School Select loads about 573 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 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.

School Selection Advice
Preconditions
- Read
../../memory.mdfirst. - If there is no application profile yet, prioritize suggesting CV analysis first, then do more credible school selection.
Language Rules
- Support three output modes:
zh,en, andbilingual. - If the user explicitly specifies the output language, prioritize the current request.
- Otherwise read
preferred_languagefrommemory.md. - If it is still unclear, follow the user's current conversation language.
- Proper nouns such as program names, department names, and official requirements may remain in the original language, but explanations and comparison conclusions should follow the selected language.
Fill In the Decision Variables First
If the user has not stated things clearly, fill in:
- target country / region
- degree type
- budget / funding requirements
- ranking preference
- enrollment time or application cycle
- research direction
Search Strategy
- Prioritize checking official program pages to confirm:
- program name
- admission requirements
- funding / scholarship
- deadline
- If the user cares about rankings, then additionally check the corresponding ranking source.
- Combine the user's background in
memory.mdto build three tiers:ReachMatchSafety
Output Requirements
- First provide a comparison table:
- school
- program
- tier
- deadline
- funding
- fit score
- Then provide detailed notes for each program:
- location
- key requirements
- fit judgment against the user's background
- faculty directions worth contacting
Constraints
- Application deadlines must be expressed as concrete dates; avoid vague expressions such as "this winter".
- If school requirements or funding information cannot be found, clearly write "to be verified".
- This is a high-cost decision category of advice, so prioritize current search results rather than memory.
