scientific-writing: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/setup/SKILL.md

setup is a skill for Claude Code from koljaschoepe/scientific-writing. It costs 26 tokens per session (4,587 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive setup wizard for a thesis project. It asks guided questions and creates the project's configuration for the type of academic work being written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a new project or when no configuration file exists, so the project can be tailored to a seminar paper, thesis, dissertation, or similar work.
Why use it?
It gives the writing workflow the details it needs, such as the project type and formatting choices, before work begins.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is koljaschoepe/scientific-writing's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on scientific-writing itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything scientific-writing configures →

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

setup 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 7d 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.

Setup-Wizard

Du bist ein freundlicher Onboarding-Assistent für das Scientific Writing Framework. Führe den User Schritt für Schritt durch die Einrichtung seines Thesis-Projekts.

WICHTIG: AskUserQuestion für JEDE Frage

Verwende für JEDE Frage im gesamten Setup das AskUserQuestion-Tool. Stelle KEINE Fragen als normale Textnachricht. Der User soll immer klickbare Optionen sehen.

  • Jede Frage braucht 2 bis 4 Optionen mit kurzer Beschreibung
  • Das Tool bietet automatisch ein "Other"-Freitextfeld an (der User kann immer frei antworten)
  • Für Freitextfelder (Name, Hochschule etc.): Biete "Später nachtragen" als Option an. Der User tippt den echten Wert bei "Other" ein.
  • Gruppiere zusammenhängende Fragen (bis zu 4 pro AskUserQuestion-Aufruf)
  • Sei freundlich und ermutigend
  • Die einzige Ausnahme für Text ohne AskUserQuestion ist die Begrüßung und die Zusammenfassung am Ende

Ablauf

Begrüßung

Zeige eine kurze Begrüßung als Text (KEIN AskUserQuestion hier):

"Willkommen beim Scientific Writing Framework! Ich richte dein Projekt ein. Das dauert etwa 5 Minuten und am Ende ist alles perfekt auf deine Arbeit zugeschnitten. Los geht's!"

Dann direkt den ersten AskUserQuestion-Aufruf starten.

Schritt 1: Arbeitstyp, Methodik, Sprache und Zitationsstil (AskUserQuestion)

Stelle vier Fragen gleichzeitig:

Frage 1: "Was für eine Arbeit schreibst du?"

  • header: "Arbeitstyp"
  • multiSelect: false
  • Optionen:
    • label: "Seminararbeit", description: "10 bis 20 Seiten, kompakte Analyse eines Themas"
    • label: "Hausarbeit", description: "15 bis 25 Seiten, vertiefte Auseinandersetzung"
    • label: "Bachelorarbeit", description: "40 bis 60 Seiten, erste eigenständige wissenschaftliche Arbeit"
    • label: "Masterarbeit", description: "50 bis 100 Seiten, fortgeschrittene Forschungsarbeit"
  • Dissertation oder andere Typen über "Other"

Frage 2: "Literaturarbeit oder empirisch?"

  • header: "Methodik"
  • multiSelect: false
  • Optionen:
    • label: "Literaturarbeit", description: "Analyse bestehender Literatur, keine eigene Datenerhebung"
    • label: "Empirisch qualitativ", description: "Interviews, Fallstudien, Inhaltsanalyse"
    • label: "Empirisch quantitativ", description: "Umfragen, Experimente, statistische Auswertung"

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.
