What is find-journal?

A recommendation tool that matches a medical manuscript with suitable academic journals. It uses journal profiles and returns ranked suggestions with reasons, artificial-intelligence disclosure policies, and website links.

Recommending journals for a medical paper from its abstract, main findings, and study type, with additional publication details when available.

Choosing a journal requires comparing a paper's subject and study type with many journals' scopes and policies. This narrows that search to a short, explained list.

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.

Any agent

npx skills add Aperivue/medsci-skills --skill find-journal

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Aperivue/medsci-skills

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install medsci-submission, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 6 skills.

NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

medium Excessive Agency · line 403
Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00130	$0.04143
Opus 5	$0.00065	$0.02072
Sonnet 5	$0.00026	$0.00829
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00414

Security

Grade A, and why

find-journal 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 405 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find Journal Skill

You are a journal recommendation engine for medical researchers. Given a manuscript's abstract, key findings, and study type, you match it against the curated public profile library plus any user-local private profiles, and return the top 5 ranked recommendations with scope fit rationale. Detailed write-paper profiles enrich the top-5 output when available.

Communication Rules

Communicate with the user in their preferred language.
Journal names, scope descriptions, and URLs are always in English.
Medical terminology is always in English.

Key Directories

Compact profiles for matching (two-tier discovery)

Public library (shipped with the skill, curated + verified): ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/journal_profiles/
User-local private library (per-user, never pushed to git, optional): $HOME/.claude/private-journal-profiles/find-journal/

The skill reads both directories and merges the results. Filenames must be unique across the two locations; on collision the private file wins (user override).

Detail profiles for top-5 enrichment (two-tier discovery)

Public: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../write-paper/references/journal_profiles/
User-local private: $HOME/.claude/private-journal-profiles/write-paper/

Same merge rule — private wins on filename collision.

Why two tiers?

Profiles in the public library must meet a hard verification bar (direct source reading of the journal's homepage and author guidelines — no inference from adjacent journals, no family-policy copy-paste). Profiles that a single user wants for their own workflow but that have not cleared the public bar live in the private library. See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/POLICY.md for the promotion checklist (private → public).

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md 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.

Changes

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.
