Awesome Journal Skills is a collection of agent skill packs tailored to hundreds of academic journals across fields including economics, social science, medicine, science, and engineering. Researchers use the packs for tasks such as choosing topics, designing empirical strategies, preparing tables and figures, submitting papers, and responding to reviewers. The catalogue entries are the project's journal-specific skills and related plugins.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsWrote this? Show the measurements
A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

asplos-skills 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 1mo 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 installs
The manifest is a name and a version. 12 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 843 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.
- Skill asplos-artifact-evaluation A 69 tokens
- Skill asplos-author-response A 66 tokens
- Skill asplos-camera-ready A 60 tokens
- Skill asplos-experiments A 69 tokens
- Skill asplos-related-work A 72 tokens
- Skill asplos-reproducibility A 68 tokens
- Skill asplos-review-process A 69 tokens
- Skill asplos-submission A 81 tokens
- Skill asplos-supplementary A 65 tokens
- Skill asplos-topic-selection A 85 tokens
- Skill asplos-workflow A 74 tokens
- Skill asplos-writing-style A 65 tokens
What ships with it
1 file beside plugin.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
