Orchestrate the end-to-end PhD application process and route to the right sub-skill. Use this as the front door whenever the user expresses a broad PhD-application intent without naming a specific step — e.g. "help me apply for PhDs", "be my PhD application copilot", "where am I with my applications and what should I do next?", "I want to start applying to PhD programs", or "what's the next thing I should work on?". Surveys the knowledge base to see what stage each opportunity is at, recommends the highest-value next action, and kicks off the matching skill. Trigger for orientation, planning, or whole-pipeline requests; defer to the specific skill when the user already names a concrete task (e.g. "write a cold email to Prof X" → outreach-email).

From the source SKILL.md

This is the front door for someone who knows they want help with PhD applications but not which of the nine steps they need right now. Its value is orientation and momentum: look at where things actually stand, name the single most useful next move, and hand off to the skill that does it. It coordinates; it doesn't duplicate the specialized skills' work.

What this skill does

Phd Copilot is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the outreach sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/phd-copilot/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Phd Copilot Claude Code skill is built for sales development reps, account executives, revenue operations teams, and customer success managers. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 149,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
