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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00067 | $0.00976 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00488 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00195 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00098 |
Grade A, and why
ccs-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 12d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CCS Workflow
Use this as the project-management skill for a CCS submission. CCS is a conference, not a journal: it has no editor-in-chief and no article-processing charge. The rotating leadership is the per-edition General Chairs and Program Co-Chairs (CCS 2026 Program Co-Chairs: Véronique Cortier and Zhiqiang Lin, reported 2026-07-08; verify against the organizing-committee page). Replace every date below with the current cycle's HotCRP deadlines and work backward.
The dual-deadline cycle
CCS runs two review cycles per year into one conference. A paper enters one cycle only; work rejected in the first cycle may not be resubmitted (even revised) to the second cycle of the same year. Pick the cycle from readiness, not hope — a thin first-cycle submission burns the year at this venue.
- CCS 2026 (The Hague, Netherlands, Nov 15-19, 2026) Cycle A: abstract registration Jan 7, full paper Jan 14, rebuttal Mar 17-20, notification Apr 9, 2026 (verify).
- CCS 2026 Cycle B: abstract registration Apr 22, full paper Apr 29, rebuttal Jun 29-Jul 1, notification Jul 17, 2026 (verify). Camera-ready reported Aug 21, 2026.
- Both 2026 deadlines have passed as of 2026-07-08; treat them as a template and read the CCS 2027 CFP when posted (CCS 2027 host city was still under steering-committee selection).
Milestones
- Venue fit: confirm the contribution is a broad security result for the SIGSAC PC.
- Evidence lock: freeze threat model, attack/defense implementation, adaptive evaluation, measurement validation, and the ethics/disclosure posture.
- Abstract registration: mandatory title, authors, abstract, and topics in HotCRP before the registration deadline; no paper without a registered abstract.
- Full-paper deadline: upload the anonymized 12-page ACM sigconf PDF plus appendices.
- Rebuttal window: respond to reviews in the short author-response period.
- Notification: accept, minor revision (revise within the cycle), or reject.
- Artifact evaluation: submit artifacts after acceptance for ACM badges if you opt in.
- Camera-ready and registration: ACM proceedings version, then in-person presentation.
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.

ccs-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,097 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 976 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
