research-grants is a skill for Claude Code from foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (7,399 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A writing aid for research funding proposals submitted to agencies such as NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, and Taiwan’s NSTC. It covers proposal sections, agency review criteria, budgets, broader impacts, and submission rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write project descriptions, specific aims, significance and innovation sections, broader-impact statements, timelines, milestone plans, and budget justifications.
Why use it?
It helps researchers adapt a proposal to the requirements reviewers and funding agencies use. It also brings technical, persuasive, budget, and compliance work into one process.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.

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

research-grants 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 9d 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.

Research Grant Writing

Overview

Research grant writing is the process of developing competitive funding proposals for federal agencies and foundations. Master agency-specific requirements, review criteria, narrative structure, budget preparation, and compliance for NSF (National Science Foundation), NIH (National Institutes of Health), DOE (Department of Energy), DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), and Taiwan's NSTC (National Science and Technology Council) submissions.

Critical Principle: Grants are persuasive documents that must simultaneously demonstrate scientific rigor, innovation, feasibility, and broader impact. Each agency has distinct priorities, review criteria, formatting requirements, and strategic goals that must be addressed.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Writing research proposals for NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, or NSTC programs
  • Preparing project descriptions, specific aims, or technical narratives
  • Developing broader impacts or significance statements
  • Creating research timelines and milestone plans
  • Preparing budget justifications and personnel allocation plans
  • Responding to program solicitations or funding announcements
  • Addressing reviewer comments in resubmissions
  • Planning multi-institutional collaborative proposals
  • Writing preliminary data or feasibility sections
  • Preparing biosketches, CVs, or facilities descriptions

Proposal Outputs

Grant proposals often benefit from clear visual elements, but visuals are outputs of the grant-writing task rather than a required secondary skill route.

Use visuals when they strengthen the proposal:

  • Research workflow or methodology diagram
  • Project timeline or milestone chart
  • Conceptual framework
  • Preliminary data figure plan
  • Collaboration structure
  • Broader impacts activity map

Do not require a separate helper expert before the grant proposal can be considered complete.

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.
