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 | $0.00069 | $0.01207 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00483 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00241 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00121 |
Grade A, and why
ase-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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ASE Workflow
Run the ASE year backward from the deadline. ASE is an annual conference (dual IEEE/ACM sponsored)
whose research track has an early-rejection gate, a rebuttal, and a first-class,
criteria-bound Revision outcome; plan for all three. Every date below is a one-cycle snapshot —
reopen the current Important Dates page first (see resources/official-source-map.md).
Anchor dates (ASE 2026 snapshot — verify each cycle)
- Research submission: 26 March 2026. Notification: 25 May 2026. Conference: Munich, Germany, 12-16 October 2026.
- The abstract-registration deadline preceding the full-paper deadline is 待核实 — confirm it; it is a hard gate.
- As of 2026-07-09 the ASE 2026 notification has passed. The next submission target is ASE 2027 (host/dates 待核实). Reverify before planning.
Backward plan from the deadline
T-16 wk Route with ase-topic-selection: ASE research vs. NIER/Tools vs. FSE/ISSTA/journal.
T-14 wk Lock the automation and the subject systems; freeze what the tool does and what it runs on.
T-10 wk Build evidence (ase-experiments): real subjects, fair tool baselines, ablation isolating
any learned component. Pin provenance now (ase-reproducibility) — it cannot be retrofitted.
T-6 wk Draft to the ASE arc (ase-writing-style) against the worked example; write related work
delta-first (ase-related-work). Keep to 10 content pages + 2 reference pages.
T-3 wk Assemble the anonymized artifact and the mandatory Data Availability Statement.
T-1 wk Register the abstract before its (earlier) deadline. Double-anonymous sweep (ase-submission)
on tool names, repos, PDF metadata.
T-0 Submit on ase26.hotcrp.com in the mandated template (ACM acmart sigconf for 2026).
After submission — the review timeline
[Reviews + early-rejection gate] uniformly negative scores -> early reject, no rebuttal.
[Rebuttal] if you reach it, at least one reviewer saw value; move the
borderline reviewer with facts and small checkable numbers.
[Outcome] Accept / Revision / Reject.
[Revision round] meet every stated criterion; return the revised paper + a
point-by-point summary-of-changes, re-checked against the criteria.
[Camera-ready] de-anonymize, apply the extra content page, finalize IEEE/ACM
metadata; the paper is indexed in BOTH IEEE Xplore and ACM DL.
[Artifact evaluation] on its own deadline: target Available and Reusable badges.
[Presentation] at least one author presents at ASE.
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.

ase-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,289 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,207 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.
