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 | $0.00063 | $0.00758 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00303 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00152 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00076 |
Grade A, and why
aistats-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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AISTATS Submission
Use this for an AISTATS paper submission audit. Reopen the current Call for Papers, OpenReview group, style files, FAQ, and proceedings instructions before giving deadline-ready advice.
Submission audit
- Confirm the target is the main AISTATS conference, not a workshop or tutorial.
- Verify OpenReview profiles, conflicts, subject areas, title, abstract, author list, and reviewer-volunteer obligations before the abstract and full-paper deadlines.
- Apply the current style file without spacing, margin, font, or bibliography hacks. AISTATS 2026 used 8 pages of main text for submission, excluding references and appendices.
- Submit supplementary material by the current supplement deadline. In 2026 this was a separate deadline after the main paper deadline, and supplementary uploads were optional but had to remain anonymous.
- Include or complete the reproducibility checklist if the current cycle requires it.
- Enforce double-blind anonymity in paper text, appendix, supplement, code/data, file names, metadata, repository links, acknowledgements, grants, and self-citations.
- Check concurrent-submission rules and prior-publication status. Do not put the same work under review at another archival venue when AISTATS forbids it.
Blocking risks
- Late abstract or full-paper upload.
- Overlength main text or modified style.
- Non-anonymized supplement, metadata, repository, or appendix.
- Missing reproducibility checklist or required OpenReview fields.
- Dual submission to another archival venue.
- Unclear statistical evidence, weak baselines, or missing uncertainty analysis.
Desk-reject and triage table
| Trigger | Severity at AISTATS | Repair window |
|---|---|---|
| Overlength main text | Desk reject | None after the deadline |
| Style-file tampering | Desk reject or chair flag | None |
| Identity leak in PDF or supplement | Desk reject | None |
| Checklist contradicting the paper | Review-stage damage | Only before the deadline |
| Theorem assumptions absent from the body | Review-stage damage | Fixable in the writing pass |
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.

aistats-submission is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,259 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 758 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-15.
