What it does

Advmat Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which advmat- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from scope-fit through revision for an Advanced Materials (Adv. Mater.) manuscript. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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 Research & Science. 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.

Workflow steps

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

  1. advmat-scope-fit — settle the advance + broad-impact gate first; redirect to a sibling journal if it fails
  2. advmat-results-framing — lock the single central advance and its significance
  3. advmat-methods — make the multi-technique characterization airtight; full experimental detail to the SI
  4. advmat-figures — design the lead figure and the TOC graphic to convey the advance at a glance
  5. advmat-supplementary — partition extended data / methods into Supporting Information; the paper must stand alone
  6. advmat-writing-style — Wiley house style, concision, defined nomenclature and units
  7. advmat-length-management — fit the Communication or Article format (display items and words counted together)
  8. advmat-cover-letter — argue the advance + broad-impact case to the editors
  9. advmat-submission — final preflight (format, files, article type, ORCID, TOC graphic)
  10. advmat-referee-strategy — suggested / opposed referees; pre-empt the characterization / benchmarking objections
  11. advmat-revision — after the reviewer reports arrive

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 Workflow loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 778 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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.

Advanced Materials Workflow (advmat-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It does not do the work of any specialized skill; it names which advmat- skill fits your current stage* and hands off.

Default assumption: unless told otherwise, the target is Advanced Materials (Adv. Mater.) — Wiley-VCH's flagship materials-science journal. The defining bar is a genuine materials-science advance (a new material, mechanism, or property — not an incremental improvement) that is rigorously characterized by multiple complementary techniques, ideally carried through to a device-level demonstration benchmarked against the state of the art, and communicated with cover-quality figures. If the work is solid but incremental or narrowly functional, its home is more likely Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Science, Small, or Advanced Materials Interfaces, and advmat-scope-fit will say so.

When to trigger

  • User asks "what should I do next?" on a materials manuscript
  • User drops a draft and needs the current bottleneck diagnosed
  • User is unsure whether the result is "Adv. Mater.-worthy" or belongs in a sibling Advanced-portfolio journal
  • The manuscript is over the Communication/Article length format and content must be re-partitioned
  • User received a Wiley reviewer report and needs to switch into response mode

Received a reviewer report or editor decision; need to respondadvmat-revision

Default order

  1. advmat-scope-fit — settle the advance + broad-impact gate first; redirect to a sibling journal if it fails
  2. advmat-results-framing — lock the single central advance and its significance
  3. advmat-methods — make the multi-technique characterization airtight; full experimental detail to the SI
  4. advmat-figures — design the lead figure and the TOC graphic to convey the advance at a glance
  5. advmat-supplementary — partition extended data / methods into Supporting Information; the paper must stand alone
  6. advmat-writing-style — Wiley house style, concision, defined nomenclature and units
  7. advmat-length-management — fit the Communication or Article format (display items and words counted together)
  8. advmat-cover-letter — argue the advance + broad-impact case to the editors
  9. advmat-submission — final preflight (format, files, article type, ORCID, TOC graphic)
  10. advmat-referee-strategy — suggested / opposed referees; pre-empt the characterization / benchmarking objections
  11. advmat-revision — after the reviewer reports arrive

advmat-writing-style and advmat-length-management are late polish stages. Do not trim to the page format before the central advance, characterization, and figures are stable, or you will cut load-bearing evidence.

Decision heuristics

  • "Reviewer 2 will ask 'why not Adv. Funct. Mater.?'" → advmat-scope-fit
  • "I can state the material but not why it is a genuine advance" → advmat-results-framing
  • "A referee will say the phase assignment isn't proven" → advmat-methods
  • "My lead figure has ten panels and no single takeaway" → advmat-figures
  • "You can't judge the material without reading the SI" → advmat-supplementary
  • "I'm over the page limit and every figure is huge" → advmat-length-management
  • "The editor needs to be told why this matters beyond my subfield" → advmat-cover-letter
  • "Submitting tonight" → advmat-submission
  • "Who should I suggest as a referee?" → advmat-referee-strategy
  • "Three reviewer reports just landed" → advmat-revision

Manuscript status board

Readiness is a two-column question: is the science settled, and does it fit the format? Fill this board before invoking advmat-submission; any cell still marked OPEN routes you back to the named skill.

Differences vs. sibling Advanced-portfolio journals

Advanced Materials shares Wiley-VCH production and rigor standards with Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Science, Small, and Advanced Materials Interfaces, but differs on the gate:

  • Adv. Mater.: a broadly significant materials advance — a new material, mechanism, or property that reshapes how a field thinks. Incremental optimization is declined on impact grounds even when flawless.
  • AFM / Small / Adv. Sci. / AMI: excellent, rigorous, but appropriately specialist or incremental work with a well-defined audience.

If advmat-scope-fit returns a "specialist / incremental" verdict, retarget rather than fighting the impact gate.

Anti-patterns

  • Do not skip advmat-scope-fit — editors triage on advance/impact first; a wrong-venue paper burns a submission cycle
  • Do not run advmat-length-management before the science is stable — you will cut characterization the referees need
  • Do not let the Supporting Information become the place where the real evidence hides
  • Do not draft advmat-revision responses before you have actually changed the manuscript and added the requested data

Durable norms only. Verify current word/page limits, article types, formats, and policies on the official Wiley Advanced Materials author page.
