A broad guide to academic research methods, data collection, analysis, writing, and reference management. It covers approaches such as interviews, surveys, statistical analysis, and citation tools.

Use it to plan qualitative or quantitative research, collect data, analyze it with research software, and manage citations and academic writing.

It helps researchers choose methods and tools for gathering evidence, analyzing results, and preparing academic work.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00019	$0.00329
Opus 5	$0.00010	$0.00164
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00066
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00033

Security

Grade A, and why

skill-104 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Academic Research Tools

Overview

This skill provides a broad overview of various tools and methodologies applicable across all fields of academic research. From data collection and analysis to writing and citation management, this skill aims to equip researchers with a wide array of resources to enhance their research capabilities, regardless of discipline.

General Research Methodologies

Qualitative Research

Qualitative research methodologies include interviews, focus groups, and observational studies. Utilize diverse tools to effectively gather and analyze qualitative data.

Quantitative Research

For quantitative research, employ statistical analysis software and survey tools. Collect numerical data efficiently to derive meaningful conclusions.

Research Tools

Data Collection Tools

Surveys: Google Forms, SurveyMonkey
Interviews: Zoom, Skype
Observational Tools: Field notes, video recordings

Data Analysis Tools

Statistical Software: R, SPSS, Stata
Qualitative Analysis Software: NVivo, ATLAS.ti

Writing and Formatting Tools

Reference Management: EndNote, Mendeley, Zotero
Writing Software: LaTeX, Microsoft Word, Google Docs

Conclusion

Although this skill covers a broad spectrum of academic research tools, it is essential to select the appropriate techniques and software according to your specific research needs. For targeted assistance, consider narrowing your inquiry to specific research methodologies or tools.

Changes

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.

skill-104 is a skill published in the GitHub repository legendtkl/agentic-skill-router (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 329 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
