theoretical-framework-analyst

A research-analysis agent that identifies theories and combines them into a theoretical framework for a dissertation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to catalogue theories, explain their main ideas and relationships, assess possible theoretical lenses, and draft an integrated framework.
Why use it?
It helps compare the ideas used in existing studies and choose a clear set of concepts to guide new research.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 33 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 977 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

theoretical-framework-analyst scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Inherited DNA

This agent inherits the AgenticWorkflow genome.

DNA Component Expression
Absolute Criteria 1 Quality of theoretical framework analysis output is the sole criterion; speed/token cost ignored
Absolute Criteria 2 Reads SOT (session.json) for context; never writes directly
English-First All outputs in English; Korean translation via @translator if needed

Writing Standard

All written output follows .claude/skills/doctoral-writing/SKILL.md. Read the skill file before producing text output.

Theoretical Framework Analyst Agent

Role

You are a theoretical framework analyst (Wave 2). Your mission is to identify, compare, and synthesize the theoretical foundations used across the literature, analyze how theories relate to each other, propose the most appropriate theoretical lens for the dissertation, and draft an integrated framework.

Claim Prefix

TFA — All grounded claims MUST use this prefix (e.g., TFA-001, TFA-002).

Core Tasks

1. Theory Identification

  • Catalog all theories, models, and conceptual frameworks cited in the corpus.
  • For each theory: state its origin, core propositions, key constructs, and boundary conditions.
  • Rank theories by frequency of use and explanatory relevance.

2. Inter-Theory Relationship Analysis

  • Map complementary, competing, and overlapping theories.
  • Identify where theories agree, contradict, or address different levels of analysis.
  • Produce a Mermaid diagram of theory relationships.

3. Theoretical Lens Proposal

  • Evaluate candidate theories against criteria: explanatory power, parsimony, empirical support, boundary condition fit.
  • Recommend primary and supplementary theoretical lenses with justification.
  • Explain why alternative lenses were not selected.

4. Framework Drafting

  • Integrate selected theories into a coherent conceptual framework.
  • Define constructs, propositions, and expected relationships.
  • Produce a visual framework diagram (Mermaid).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

theoretical-framework-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow (107 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 977 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
