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 | $0.01308 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00523 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00262 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
atc-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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ATC Workflow
Plan the campaign backward from the deadline. ATC 2026 — the first ACM SIGOPS edition of the former USENIX ATC — runs on a calendar and a review structure that both changed in the transition: an early-June 2026 submission deadline (AoE; 1 vs. 10 June unresolved across renderings — 待核实), a two-round, extended-abstract review, conditional acceptance with shepherding, a separate artifact-evaluation track, and the conference in Hong Kong, 15-18 November 2026. Reopen the SIGOPS call for the exact dates before committing to any of the offsets below.
The arc (backward from the deadline)
[T-0 Submission] paired upload: 2-page extended abstract + full paper on atc26.hotcrp.com
[Round one] two reviewers judge each extended abstract; below-bar papers cut early
[Round two] 3-4 reviewers read the full paper of survivors
[Rebuttal] ~1 page: correct factual misreadings; note prior-submission changes if any
[Decision] conditional accept / reject
[Shepherding] a PC shepherd signs off required revisions before final acceptance
[Artifact evaluation] separate post-acceptance AEC track -> Available / Functional / Reproduced
[Camera-ready] de-anonymize, satisfy shepherd, ACM Open Access metadata + production checks
[Nov 15-18] present at the Hong Kong conference; talk video/slides per the venue norm
Backward plan from the June deadline
- T-10 to T-8 weeks: lock the system and freeze the experiments. On a systems paper the testbed
and measurements are the long pole; leave prose churn for later. Pin environments now
(
atc-reproducibility) — provenance cannot be reconstructed at the deadline. - T-6 weeks: full-paper draft complete against
atc-writing-style; baselines and honest costs in place peratc-experiments. - T-3 weeks: write and stress-test the two-page extended abstract — the round-one decision surface. Have someone read only the abstract and tell you the problem, contribution, testbed, and result. If they cannot, fix it.
- T-2 weeks: build the anonymized, runnable artifact and the claim-to-experiment map.
- T-1 week: double-blind sweep on the final PDF, abstract, and artifact; fill HotCRP fields and conflicts; confirm the exact AoE deadline day.
- T-0: upload both the extended abstract and the paper; re-download and read cold.
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-workflow 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 1,308 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.
