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.

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 | $0.00078 | $0.01360 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00031 | $0.00544 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00272 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
amann-revision 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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Revision & Response for a Review (amann-revision)
When to trigger
- A proposal decision letter arrived (invited / revise-and-resubmit / declined)
- A full-review referee letter arrived (major revision is the norm for a long review)
- Referees flagged "no real framework," missing streams, imbalance, or "reads like a list"
- You need a point-by-point response letter for a review article, not a primary paper
First: which letter is this?
Annals' two-step process produces two kinds of feedback, and they call for different moves:
- Proposal-stage feedback (double-blind, from the Associate Editors). The decision is mainly about fit and promise: is the literature Annals-scale, and is there a genuinely new framework under "New insights"? A revise-and-resubmit here usually means sharpen the contribution before the full review is invited — route back through
amann-topic-selection/amann-organizing-framework/amann-proposal-framing. - Full-review feedback (editor-only: Associate Editor and Editor). The review is being developed; feedback is about execution — framework strength, coverage, balance, attitude, accessibility. This is the classic point-by-point revision below.
Categories of full-review feedback (and how to answer each)
Triage every point into one bucket:
| Feedback type | Typical phrasing | Response move |
|---|---|---|
| Framework / contribution | "this is an annotated bibliography" / "where is the integration?" | strengthen or make explicit the spine (amann-organizing-framework); do not just reorder — this is the acceptance bar |
| Attitude / agenda | "this is descriptive; take a position" / "the agenda is generic" | add the critical position and a framework-tied agenda (amann-writing-style) |
| Coverage gap | "you omit the X stream / author Y" | almost always concede and integrate; place the work in the right cell; re-run saturation (amann-literature-synthesis) |
| Balance / fairness | "this slights school Z / over-cites the author" | steelman the slighted side; re-audit self-citation (amann-evidence-standards) |
| Appraisal accuracy | "you mischaracterize study W" | correct it precisely — reviewed authors often referee |
| Scope | "too broad / too narrow" | renegotiate with the editor (amann-editor-strategy); rescope deliberately, not by random cuts |
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.

amann-revision is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,289 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,360 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.
