What it does

Resubmission Deadline Tracker is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Track manuscript resubmission deadlines and automatically generate phase-appropriate task breakdowns for academic researchers based on remaining time.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `POLISH_CHANGELOG.md`, `data/deadlines.json` and `references/journal_deadlines.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Task breakdown. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Task breakdown

Example prompts

  • “/resubmission-deadline-tracker”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the manuscript title, journal, deadline date, and reviewer issue counts.
  2. Timezone validation: If --timezone is not provided, default to Asia/Shanghai and emit a note: "Deadline calculated using Asia/Shanghai…
  3. Calculate remaining time using the stored IANA timezone and assign urgency level.
  4. Generate a phase-appropriate task schedule based on the urgency level.
  5. Return the deadline summary, task breakdown, and risk notes.
  6. If inputs are incomplete, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Resubmission Deadline Tracker loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 610 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Resubmission Deadline Tracker

Track manuscript resubmission deadlines and generate actionable task schedules based on remaining time.

Dependencies

  • Python 3.9+ (standard-library zoneinfo)
  • pip install -r requirements.txt supplies IANA timezone data, including on Windows.

Quick Check

bash
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help

When to Use

  • Use this skill when tracking one or more manuscript resubmission deadlines and generating a task breakdown.
  • Use this skill when assessing urgency level and creating a phase-appropriate revision schedule.
  • Do not use this skill to sync with journal submission systems, send automated reminders, or manage grant deadlines.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the manuscript title, journal, deadline date, and reviewer issue counts.
  2. Timezone validation: If --timezone is not provided, default to Asia/Shanghai and emit a note: "Deadline calculated using Asia/Shanghai timezone. Use --timezone to specify your local timezone (e.g., America/New_York, Europe/London)."
  3. Calculate remaining time using the stored IANA timezone and assign urgency level.
  4. Generate a phase-appropriate task schedule based on the urgency level.
  5. Return the deadline summary, task breakdown, and risk notes.
  6. If inputs are incomplete, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.

Usage

text
# Add new deadline
python scripts/main.py --add --title "Cancer Research Paper" \
  --journal "Nature Medicine" --deadline "2024-03-15" \
  --major-issues 2 --minor-issues 8

# List all tracked deadlines
python scripts/main.py --list

# Show details for specific paper
python scripts/main.py --show "Cancer Research Paper"

# Generate task breakdown
python scripts/main.py --tasks "Cancer Research Paper"

# Update progress
python scripts/main.py --update "Cancer Research Paper" --progress 60

These levels describe the existing implementation; no new states are introduced.

Output

  • Deadline summary with urgency status
  • Phase-by-phase task schedule
  • Daily targets and checkbox list
  • Risk notes (timezone, submission type, buffer time)

  3. Task Schedule
  4. Risks and Caveats

Timezone and Stored Data

--timezone applies when adding a deadline. Existing records use their stored timezone; their JSON format and files are unchanged. Remaining time is compared in UTC, so the machine timezone does not change the result. Invalid dates, unknown IANA zones, daylight-saving gaps and ambiguous overlap times are rejected before a new record is saved. For an overlap, supply the exact UTC date/time with --timezone UTC. Interactive mode also asks for a timezone.

Error Handling

  • If required inputs are missing, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.
  • If the task goes outside the documented scope, stop instead of guessing or silently widening the assignment.
  • If scripts/main.py fails, report the failure point, summarize what still can be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback.
  • Do not fabricate deadline dates, journal policies, or task estimates.

Input Validation

This skill accepts: a manuscript resubmission deadline with optional reviewer issue counts and journal details.

If the request does not involve manuscript resubmission deadline tracking — for example, asking to manage grant deadlines, sync with journal systems, or send automated email reminders — do not proceed with the workflow. Instead respond:

"resubmission-deadline-tracker is designed to track manuscript resubmission deadlines and generate task schedules. Your request appears to be outside this scope. Please provide a deadline date and manuscript details, or use a more appropriate tool."

Response Template

Use the following fixed structure for non-trivial requests:

  1. Objective
  2. Inputs Received
  3. Assumptions
  4. Workflow
  5. Deliverable
  6. Risks and Limits
  7. Next Checks

If the request is simple, you may compress the structure, but still keep assumptions and limits explicit when they affect correctness.
