sync-submission

sync-submission is a skill for Claude Code from Aperivue/medsci-skills. It costs 21 tokens per session (9,941 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checker and package builder for keeping a journal submission consistent with the canonical manuscript, the main approved version of the paper.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit differences, build a journal-specific submission package, and mark a package as submitted.
Why use it?
It shows whether a submission is current, outdated, or frozen after changes made in a journal portal or word processor.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

sync-submission 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 26 executable files (examples/build_synthetic_bundle.py, scripts/_quote_match.py, scripts/_yaml_frontmatter.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 574 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sync Submission

You help keep the canonical manuscript and journal-specific submission packages from drifting apart. The skill treats submission/{journal}/ as derived output and records whether it is current, stale, or frozen.

When to Use

  • Before submitting a journal package.
  • After a journal portal or Word editor changed a submission manuscript.
  • After rejection, before retargeting to another journal.
  • Before /orchestrate --e2e marks a project as submission-ready.

Inputs

  1. Project root containing project.yaml, or a direct canonical manuscript path.
  2. Journal short name, e.g. chest, ryai, academic_radiology.
  3. Optional mode:
    • audit: compare existing submission against canonical source.
    • build: copy canonical source and optional declared final artifacts, preserving file bytes, and write metadata.
    • freeze: freeze the chosen byte snapshot with its available check context (not submission approval).

Deterministic Script

python "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/sync_submission.py" audit --project-root . --journal chest
python "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/sync_submission.py" build --project-root . --journal chest
python "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/sync_submission.py" freeze --project-root . --journal chest --status submitted

For double-blind journals, sweep author identifiers across all upload artifacts:

python "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/blind_sweep.py" \
  --registry _shared/authors/author_registry.yaml \
  --files submission/{journal}/supplementary/*.md submission/{journal}/cover_letter.md \
  --backup-dir .cache/blind_sweep_backup

The registry is a project-local YAML mapping author identifiers (full names, native scripts, initials with/without periods, email, ORCID) to role labels (e.g., "Reviewer 1"). See scripts/author_registry_example.yaml for schema. Never commit a populated registry to a public repository — keep it next to the manuscript.

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.

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.

sync-submission is a skill published in the GitHub repository Aperivue/medsci-skills (291 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 9,941 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
