What this skill can do

Install

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'thesis-idea' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'thesis-idea' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named thesis-idea already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/franklee16/academic-research-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9a4b2db21fc4b217136ae4a0e6faad42d179ca03' -- 'brainstorm-presearch/Econ-thesis-idea-main' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'brainstorm-presearch/Econ-thesis-idea-main' ~/.agents/skills/'thesis-idea' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'thesis-idea' ~/.claude/skills/'thesis-idea' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
