journal_formatting

journal_formatting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from equinor/neqsim. It costs 15 tokens per session (4,238 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A formatting workflow that converts a Markdown manuscript into a submission-ready LaTeX or Word document using the rules of a chosen academic journal. A journal is a publication with its own required layout and citation style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for final formatting, checking submission compliance, or adapting a rejected paper for another journal through the paperflow pipeline.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of adapting a paper to different journal requirements and helps check whether the manuscript follows them. It applies to journal papers, not books.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

journal_formatting 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 5d 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.

Skill: Journal Formatting

Purpose

Apply journal-specific formatting rules to transform a manuscript from Markdown into a submission-ready LaTeX or Word document.

When to Use

  • Final formatting before submission
  • Converting between journal formats (e.g., rejected → resubmit elsewhere)
  • Checking manuscript compliance with journal guidelines

Scope: Journal Papers Only (Not Books)

This skill and the --journal profiles apply only to single-manuscript journal papers built with the paperflow new / draft / format / render pipeline (papers/). The journal latex_class and citation_style metadata drive the paper renderer in tools/paper_renderer.py.

Books are a separate pipeline and do NOT use journal profiles. A book lives under books/<slug>/, is configured by book.yaml (not a journal YAML), and is produced by paperflow book-render --format {pdf|docx|html|epub|odf} via the dedicated tools/book_render_* renderers:

Format Book renderer Engine
PDF book_render_pdf.py Typst (auto-generated preamble)
Word book_render_word.py python-docx
HTML book_render_html.py custom HTML template
EPUB book_render_epub.py pandoc
ODF book_render_odf.py odfpy
JATS/DocBook book_render_xml.py (via book-render-xml) pandoc

cmd_book_render never calls load_journal_profile, so --journal, elsarticle/achemso classes, and the compliance checks below are irrelevant to books. Style books through book.yaml and the book_render_* engines instead. The shared building blocks between the two pipelines are bibliography handling (refs.bib, Crossref enrichment) and the equation/figure utilities in tools/math_utils.py — not the journal class machinery.

Supported Journals

Each journal has a YAML profile in journals/. Run python paperflow.py list-journals to print this list with the exact --journal names. Currently supported (10 profiles):

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.
