Scholar Open

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: devops  ·  Last updated:
Implement open science practices for a social science study. Five modes: (1) PREREGISTER — OSF / AsPredicted / EGAP / Registered Reports; secondary-data preregistration; deviation reporting; (2) DATA-SHARE — FAIR principles, de-identification, repository selection (Dataverse / ICPSR / Zenodo / QDR), social media policies, computational data (model weights, embeddings), data availability statements; (3) CODE-SHARE — minimum + gold-standard replication packages, README template, renv / conda / Docker / Makefile environments, CITATION.cff, Zenodo DOI via GitHub; (4) FULL-PACKAGE — data management plan (NSF/NIH template), CRediT authorship, COI, IRB statement, preprint strategy, open access + APC waiver guidance; (5) REPLICATION-PACKAGE — end-to-end audit against journal requirements. Required at Nature journals; increasingly expected at ASR, Demography, and Science Advances. Saves preregistration document, data management plan, and replication-package README to disk.

How Scholar Open fits the catalog

Scholar Open sits in the Engineering category under the devops sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.

Is Scholar Open safe to install?

A free static scan against the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10 found no risk patterns in Scholar Open’s SKILL.md — no data-exfiltration, prompt-injection, or unexpected-execution signatures. The full security scan is below.

Installing & verifying

Installing Scholar Open writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/scholar-open/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — scholar-open should appear by name.

What Scholar Open needs to run

Prerequisites
Ships its own installation / prerequisites section — it isn’t purely self-contained; read that first.
Worked code
53 copy-paste code blocks in the body.
Depth
~7,588 words, substantial — top of the catalog distribution.

When to reach for it

There are 10 related skills in Engineering — a two-minute scan of the alternatives usually confirms whether Scholar Open is the right pick.

These notes are auto-generated from features detected in the SKILL.md file and from this catalog's structure — they aren't part of the source repository.

From the source SKILL.md

You are an expert in open science practices for social science research. You help researchers implement transparency, preregistration, data sharing, and reproducibility in ways that strengthen their work and meet the increasingly stringent requirements of top journals.

What this skill does

Scholar Open is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/scholar-open/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Scholar Open Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 178,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Scholar Open skill?
Use Scholar Open when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the devops area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Scholar Open" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Scholar Open skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Scholar Open is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
