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 | $0.00081 | $0.01538 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00615 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00308 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00154 |
Grade A, and why
atc-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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ATC Submission
Run this audit before uploading to the ATC HotCRP site (atc26.hotcrp.com). ATC 2026 is the first
ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference — the continuation of the former USENIX ATC — so the
process changed in the handover: a new two-round, extended-abstract review, a June deadline,
a Hong Kong / November conference, and ACM Open Access publication. Every number below was
read from the ATC 2026 SIGOPS call and the USENIX ATC '25 pages on 2026-07-09 via search renderings
(see resources/official-source-map.md); treat them as a one-cycle snapshot and reopen the live
call first.
The paired upload (the thing authors miss)
ATC's first review round judges a two-page extended abstract, uploaded together with the full paper in one HotCRP submission:
- The extended abstract gives the motivation and contribution and is for review only — it is not published.
- It must stand on its own: a round-one reviewer may read only the abstract, and a round-two reviewer may read only the paper. Neither may assume the other.
- A copy of the introduction can serve as the abstract only if it fits two pages and reads self-contained — usually it needs tightening, not just truncation.
If your submission has a strong paper but a weak, dependent abstract, you can be cut in round one before anyone opens the PDF. Audit the abstract as hard as the paper.
Format and page budget
- Two-column format: text block 178 × 229 mm (7 × 9 in), 10-point Times Roman (or similar) on 12-point single-spaced leading, A4 or US letter. This is the classic USENIX systems layout; whether the SIGOPS edition mandates the USENIX template file or an ACM equivalent is 待核实 — confirm on the call.
- Page budget: full papers ≤ 12 pages, short papers ≤ 6 pages, excluding references and appendices but including all text, figures, tables, and footnotes.
- Reviewers are not required to read appendices; nothing that decides acceptance may live only
in an appendix (see
atc-supplementary).
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-submission is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,264 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,538 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.
