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 | $0.00072 | $0.01516 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00758 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00303 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00152 |
Grade A, and why
asplos-related-work 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 today.
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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ASPLOS Related Work
An ASPLOS reviewer pool is assembled from three communities, and each reviewer checks whether their literature is handled competently. Related work at this venue is therefore a coverage problem across parallel lanes — a paper positioned beautifully against the OS literature and blankly against the architecture literature reads as half-researched to half its reviewers.
The five lanes
| Lane | What must be shown | Failure the lane's reviewers spot |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture (ISCA/MICRO/HPCA lineage) | The hardware structure or mechanism is new relative to prior microarchitectural work | Reinvented prefetcher/hint/metadata scheme under a new name |
| OS/systems (SOSP/OSDI/EuroSys/ATC lineage) | The policy/runtime layer differs from existing kernel or hypervisor mechanisms | "The kernel already does this with tunables" |
| PL/compilers (PLDI/POPL/CGO lineage) | Language/compiler-level alternatives are acknowledged when the problem admits them | Hardware solution to a problem the compiler community solved statically |
| Accelerator/domain (when applicable) | Placement in the accelerator design space with honest technology normalization | Comparing against a three-generation-old design point |
| Prior ASPLOS | The intersection lineage itself — what earlier cross-layer attempts did | Missing the exact ASPLOS paper a PC member wrote or shepherded |
For the last lane, mine the venue's own memory: the ACM DL ASPLOS series and the
Influential Paper Award list (see ../../resources/exemplars/library.md) identify
the papers the community regards as canonical for a given boundary.
Differentiate on the boundary, not the components
The distinctive ASPLOS positioning move: prior work usually shares components with yours (a similar hardware structure, a similar kernel policy) while drawing the hardware/software boundary elsewhere. Say precisely where each prior system draws it and why yours moves it:
Template, per closest-prior system:
"<System> provides <capability> at <layer>, which requires <cost/assumption>.
Because it keeps <decision> in <layer>, it cannot <the thing your boundary
placement enables>. We move <decision> to <layer>, which is what makes
<headline property> possible."
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.

asplos-related-work is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,109 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 1,516 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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.
