jsps-dc-application

A Claude Code skill for drafting JSPS 特別研究員-DC (DC1/DC2) application content files (申請内容ファイル) — the research plan and the self-analysis of research ability — in Japanese or English, producing compile-ready LaTeX (KakenhiLaTeX template).

学振 特別研究員-DC の「申請内容ファイル」(研究計画＋研究遂行力の自己分析)を、 日本語/英語で、採用級の構成・表現で起草・推敲・翻訳するための Claude Code スキルです。

Scope: DC1 / DC2 only. For KAKENHI project grants (基盤/若手/挑戦的) use a grant-proposal skill instead; this is a fellowship (evaluates the researcher, not the project).

What it does

Follows the official DC 様式 (4 sections, page budget 1 / 2 / 1 / 2) and the JSPS review criteria (審査の観点):

Section	Pages	Content
【２】(1) 研究の概要及び研究の位置づけ	1	summary (~500 字) + field background/issues + origin of the idea
【２】(2) 研究目的・内容等	2	objectives, methods, yearly plan, originality, expected results
【３】人権の保護及び法令等の遵守への対応	1	ethics/compliance (or 該当しない)
【４】研究遂行力の自己分析	2	(1) strengths (evidenced by track record) (2) elements to develop

It enforces hard rules: fill each section to its page budget, never fabricate achievements or citations, keep figures legible in grayscale, and respect format constraints (≥10pt, ≤3MB).

Install

As a Claude Code plugin (recommended for teams):

/plugin marketplace add OnizukaLab/jsps-dc-application
/plugin install jsps-dc-application@jsps-dc-application

Then invoke it by describing your task, e.g. 「学振 DC2 の申請内容ファイルを書きたい…」 or /jsps-dc-application:jsps-dc-application.

Manual (single user):

git clone https://github.com/OnizukaLab/jsps-dc-application
cp -r jsps-dc-application/skills/jsps-dc-application ~/.claude/skills/
# restart Claude Code; invoke with /jsps-dc-application
