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 | $0.01336 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00534 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00267 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
aeri-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 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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Submission Preflight (aeri-submission)
When to trigger
- "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on the AEA portal
- Verifying the word count and exhibit count clear the auto-return gates
- Unsure which files, fees, and declarations the AEA system expects
- Confirming single-blind author metadata, declarations, and the data/code statement
Process facts (official AEA baseline checked 2026-06-20)
- AER: Insights is an AEA journal for short, single-idea general-interest papers. Submission is through the AEA-linked ScholarOne Manuscripts system.
- Hard length gate: main text ≤7,000 words with no exhibits; each exhibit subtracts 200 words; maximum five exhibits (figures + tables combined), each ≤1 page. The word count includes body, footnotes, endnotes, and in-paper appendices; it excludes title, authors, abstract, acknowledgement footnote, references, exhibits, and the Supplemental Appendix. Papers over the word or exhibit limit are returned unreviewed.
- Abstract: ≤100 words.
- Fees: AEA members — high-income US$200 / middle-income US$100 / low-income US$0; nonmembers — US$300 / US$200 / US$0; papers rejected without review receive a 50 percent submission-fee refund. Publication fee: US$15 per typeset page for applicable submissions.
- Single-blind review: author identity is visible to referees; referee identity remains anonymous to authors. The manuscript should include title, byline, and author affiliations on the first page, not a separate title page.
- Metadata: prepare keywords and JEL classifications if the portal prompts for them; use the AEA JEL guide for classification choices.
- Data and code: submission must comply with the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy; data, code, and documentation sufficient for replication are required before acceptance, verified by the AEA Data Editor (deposit to the AEA Data and Code Repository / openICPSR). See
aeri-replication-package.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

aeri-submission is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,289 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,336 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.
