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 | $0.00074 | $0.01010 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00404 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00202 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00101 |
Grade A, and why
atc-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 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.
ATC Related Work
Position the paper in the systems literature, not against a strawman. ATC's broad scope means your reviewers span subareas, and a related-work section that a storage reviewer and a networking reviewer both find fair is a signal the paper is well situated. Because review is double-blind, positioning and self-citation must be handled carefully.
Cover the lanes a systems reviewer expects
For most ATC papers, at least these lanes should be visible:
- The direct predecessors — the systems and techniques you build on or replace, with the specific mechanism you change.
- The alternative approaches — other ways the community has attacked this problem, and why yours differs (not just "we are better," but how the design differs and what that buys).
- The adjacent subareas — where an idea from storage, networking, virtualization, or scheduling informs your design; ATC reviewers respect cross-pollination when it is credited.
- The measurement/experience literature — prior studies of the phenomenon you address, so your motivation rests on evidence, not assertion.
Delta-first positioning
Write each comparison delta-first: state what the prior system does, then the specific difference and its consequence.
- Weak: "Unlike X, our system is more efficient."
- Strong: "X admits objects on first reference, spending write budget before reuse is known; our policy defers admission to a probation window, so writes concentrate on reused objects — the difference we measure in §4."
A delta a reviewer can check against your evaluation is worth more than a paragraph of adjectives.
Every claimed delta should map to an experiment (see atc-experiments).
Sibling-venue awareness
ATC sits among specialized and flagship systems venues, and reviewers will expect you to engage the right literature regardless of where it appeared:
- OSDI / SOSP: the flagship line for your subarea — cite the landmark systems even though ATC is broader; ignoring them reads as unfamiliarity.
- NSDI: for anything touching the network stack, dataplanes, or protocols.
- FAST: for storage and file-system work.
- EuroSys: the other broad SIGOPS-family systems venue — closely related programs.
- Workshops (HotOS/HotStorage): where the idea may have first appeared as a position.
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.

atc-related-work is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,264 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,010 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.
