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.

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 | $0.00066 | $0.01403 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00701 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00281 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00140 |
Grade A, and why
acl-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 13d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ACL Submission
Run this audit before uploading to an ACL Rolling Review (ARR) cycle on OpenReview. ACL papers are not submitted to the conference directly: they enter an ARR cycle, collect reviews and a meta-review, and are later committed to ACL. Reopen the current ARR CFP at aclrollingreview.org/cfp and the target conference's call before trusting any number below.
Two-step reality check
- Confirm which ARR cycles feed your target ACL edition. ACL 2026 accepted work from the October 2025 and January 2026 cycles; committing requires a complete review package, so the last eligible cycle is earlier than the conference date suggests.
- The ARR deadline is the hard one. Commitment is a separate, later form with its
own deadline (March 14, 2026 for ACL 2026) — see
acl-workflowfor the calendar. - All ARR deadlines run 11:59 pm UTC-12 (anywhere on Earth).
Format gate
- Long papers: up to 8 content pages. Short papers: up to 4. Both get unlimited pages for references, plus unlimited space after the conclusion for the required Limitations section and an optional ethics statement.
- A missing Limitations section or overlength content is an explicit desk-reject condition under the ARR CFP — this is the most common self-inflicted rejection.
- Use the official ACL LaTeX/Word style files unmodified; margin, font, or spacing tampering is treated as a length violation.
- Appendices go after references in the same PDF; reviewers are not obliged to read them, so the 8 or 4 content pages must carry the whole argument.
Anonymity gate
- The submission itself must be fully anonymized: no names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or self-revealing "we previously showed" citations.
- Since January 2024 there is no anonymity period: you may post a non-anonymous preprint at any time. But you must declare preprint status at submission, and choosing "no non-anonymous preprint" earns award eligibility and priority for borderline decisions — then posting one anyway before meta-review release is a desk-reject offense.
- Supplementary archives, repo links, and dataset pages must be anonymized too; links to tracked hosting (personal Dropbox/Drive) are disallowed.
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.

acl-submission is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,097 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,403 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
