What it does
Advmat Cover Letter is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting the cover letter for an Advanced Materials submission, whose core job is to convince the editor that the work is a genuine materials advance of broad impact worthy of the journal. Argues the impact case; does not fix the science or format the manuscript.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Resume and CV writing. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. ｜ 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

- Drafting the cover letter for an Advanced Materials submission

Example prompts

Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Submission line — article type (Communication / Research Article), title, and that it is submitted to Advanced Materials.
- The advance in two sentences — the new material / mechanism / property, stated plainly. Lead with the finding, not the background.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Advmat Cover Letter loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 598 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Use when drafting the cover letter for an Advanced Materials submission, whose core job is to convince the editor that the work is a genuine materials advance of broad impact worthy of the journal. Argues the impact case; does not fix the science or format the manuscript.
Advanced Materials Cover Letter (advmat-cover-letter)
When to trigger
- You are about to submit and need a cover letter that earns editorial review
advmat-scope-fitreturned "Adv. Mater. with impact framing" and you must make that case- An editor previously desk-rejected similar work as "not a sufficient advance"
- You need to distinguish this work from your own or others' recent related papers
- You are resubmitting after transfer from, or rejection by, another journal
The editor's triage question
Advanced Materials editors desk-triage on advance and impact before sending anything to review. The cover letter's one job is to answer, in the editor's language: why is this a broadly important materials advance, not incremental optimization, and why here? Everything else is secondary.
Structure (one page, tight)
- Submission line — article type (Communication / Research Article), title, and that it is submitted to Advanced Materials.
- The advance in two sentences — the new material / mechanism / property, stated plainly. Lead with the finding, not the background.
- Why it is an advance, not an increment — name the design rule or the trade-off it breaks; contrast explicitly with the prior state of the art (including your own prior work if relevant).
- Why broad impact — name the concrete out-of-subfield or device community that will build on this, and why. This is the leg most letters omit.
- Evidence in brief — the multi-technique characterization proves the structure–property claim, and the device is benchmarked against the best reported systems.
- Housekeeping — originality and not-under-consideration-elsewhere; any prior preprint (e.g. ChemRxiv/arXiv) disclosed; related manuscripts under review; suggested and opposed referees (see
advmat-referee-strategy).
What makes the impact case land
- Contrast, don't assert. "Unlike prior layered oxides limited to X, this material achieves Y because Z" beats "this is a highly novel and important material."
- Name the neighbor. Editors weigh breadth; a specific out-of-field beneficiary ("solid-state battery groups pursuing sulfide interfaces") is more persuasive than "the community."
- Quantify the advance. One benchmarked number with conditions signals rigor; a hype adjective signals its absence.
- Pre-empt the venue question. If the work could be read as AFM/Small-scale, say in one sentence why the advance is broad enough for Adv. Mater.

Micro-model (the two-sentence advance + impact)
Aim for a middle that reads like this, not like an abstract:
"We report a layered oxide whose interlayer pillaring enables near-zero-strain multivalent intercalation — a design rule, not a single composition. Unlike prior high-capacity oxides that crack during cycling, this cathode retains 94% capacity over 800 cycles (Table 1), which we expect solid-state battery, catalysis, and intercalation-electronics groups to build on."
The finding leads, the contrast shows it is not incremental, one benchmarked number signals rigor, and a named neighbor community carries the breadth — all in two sentences.
Checklist
- Article type and title stated; addressed to Advanced Materials
- The advance is in the first short paragraph, finding-first
- Explicit contrast with the state of the art shows it is not incremental
- A concrete out-of-subfield / device audience is named for broad impact
- One benchmarked headline metric with conditions is cited
- Originality, preprint disclosure, and related-manuscript status stated
- Suggested/opposed referees prepared (cross-check
advmat-referee-strategy) - One page, no hype-word padding
Anti-patterns
- A letter that summarizes the abstract instead of arguing impact
- Hype adjectives ("groundbreaking," "first-ever") with no contrast or number
- Omitting the broad-impact leg — the most common reason a strong result reads as specialist
- Failing to distinguish the work from the authors' own recent related papers
- Not disclosing a preprint or a related manuscript under review elsewhere
- Overclaiming applications the data do not support
