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.

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.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.01836 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00734 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00367 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00184 |
Grade A, and why
aejmac-workflow 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AEJ: Macro Workflow Router (aejmac-workflow)
Overview
This is the router. It tells you which aejmac- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) — the American Economic Association's quarterly, broad-interest macro journal (founded 2009; one of four AEJs). AEJ: Macro rewards papers that bring quantitative discipline and policy relevance to a substantive macro question across growth, business cycles, monetary and fiscal policy, labor-macro, international macro, and macro-finance.
The defining feature of AEJ: Macro is methodological breadth: it publishes both quantitative-theoretical work (DSGE, heterogeneous-agent, structural estimation, calibrated models) and identified-empirical work (SVAR, local projections, narrative identification, micro-data macro). A paper does not have to be one or the other — the bar is that whichever tool you use, the mapping from model/data to the macro conclusion is disciplined.
Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as AEJ: Macro. Operational tells that you are at AEJ: Macro and not a field-macro or general-interest sibling: submission via the AEA submission system; a membership-scaled submission fee (member/nonmember × income tier; 检索于 2026-06，以官网为准); single-blind external review managed by the editor/coeditors; JEL codes required; the AEA Data Editor (Lars Vilhuber) runs a pre-publication reproducibility check — covering simulation and calibration code, not only regression scripts — with materials deposited at the AEA Data and Code Repository on openICPSR. Editor as of 2026: Ayşegül Şahin (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the official AEA pages.
When to trigger
- The user asks "what should I do next?"
- A draft needs its current bottleneck diagnosed
- Work is ping-ponging between model/estimation, identification, framing, writing, and the response letter
- An AEJ: Macro decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
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.

aejmac-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,264 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,836 tokens. 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 2026-09-15.
