What it does

Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting Analysis or deciding whether a short, focused philosophy manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's identity as a home for crisp, single-point articles, counterexamples, and replies; the argument-rigor bar; the brevity-and-focus house style and double-blind norms; official-submission re-check; and desk-reject heuristics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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.

When your agent uses it

  • Targeting Analysis
  • Deciding whether a short
  • Focused philosophy manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/analysis”

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

Analysis loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 768 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

description
Use when targeting Analysis or deciding whether a short, focused philosophy manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's identity as a home for crisp, single-point articles, counterexamples, and replies; the argument-rigor bar; the brevity-and-focus house style and double-blind norms; official-submission re-check; and desk-reject heuristics.

Analysis (analysis)

Journal positioning

Analysis, published by Oxford University Press for the Analysis Trust, is the home of short, focused philosophical articles and notes — its identity is brevity and a single sharp point. A canonical Analysis piece makes one crisp argument, presents a decisive counterexample, or mounts a tight reply to a recent paper, and it does so in a few pages rather than a sustained treatise. Its defining expectation is a clear, valid, original argument compressed to its essentials: state the point, make it, dispatch the obvious objection, and stop. A long, multi-part article that develops many threads is a misfit here no matter how good — Analysis rewards the one-idea paper that earns its space. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Analysis author instructions.

When to trigger

  • The author names Analysis for a short philosophy note or article and wants a fit/framing check.
  • A paper has one sharp idea, counterexample, or reply that should be compressed to Analysis's brevity-and-focus form.
  • The author is deciding whether a contribution belongs as a short Analysis note or a full-length article elsewhere.
  • The author needs Analysis's brevity/single-point bar and desk-reject heuristics.

Scope & topic fit

  • Crisp original arguments across core analytic philosophy — metaphysics, epistemology, mind, language, logic, and value theory — where one point can stand alone.
  • Decisive counterexamples that refute or seriously pressure a published claim.
  • Tight replies, rejoinders, and discussion notes engaging a specific recent paper or position.
  • Sharp distinctions or puzzles introduced and motivated in a few pages.
  • Short formal results or observations where the formalism delivers a single clear payoff.
  • Any sub-area, provided the contribution is genuinely self-contained and concise.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution is one original point defended by a valid, tightly compressed argument; the claim is stated immediately and the stakes are obvious.
  • The argument is complete on its own terms — a counterexample actually bites, a reply actually answers — without requiring a treatise to land.
  • The single most pressing objection is anticipated and dispatched; exhaustive objection-handling is neither expected nor space-permitting.
  • Distinctions and key terms are defined with precision; the logical form is transparent.
  • Engagement is targeted: cite the specific paper or position being advanced or refuted, not a broad survey.
  • Brevity is load-bearing: every paragraph earns its place; nothing is padding.

Structure & house style

  • Short note or short article built around a single point; re-check the current length limit and note/article types on the live guide — brevity is enforced.
  • The point appears in the opening lines; the piece moves directly to the argument with no long literature review.
  • Objections-and-replies, where present, are minimal and integral — the one objection worth raising, answered.
  • Citation follows the journal's current style; footnotes are sparing.
  • Double-blind review: anonymize the manuscript (self-citations and acknowledgements) per current policy.
  • Prose is maximally economical; for a reply, identify the target paper precisely up front.
Show full SKILL.md (284 more words)Show less

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the press/society anchors, then cite the current Analysis page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Analysis journal submission guidelines" (Oxford University Press / Analysis Trust) and follow the current version.
  • Re-check the strict word/length limit and note/article types, and any abstract requirement.
  • Confirm the citation/style format and anonymization for double-blind review.
  • Re-check the journal's policy on prior presentation/preprints, simultaneous submission, and AI-use disclosure.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • The paper makes exactly one sharp, original point, stated in the opening lines.
  • The argument (or counterexample/reply) is valid and complete on its own without a treatise.
  • The single most pressing objection is anticipated and dispatched.
  • The piece is within the strict length limit, with no padding or long literature review.
  • The manuscript is anonymized and follows the current citation style.
  • For a reply, the target paper/position is identified precisely up front.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A long, multi-part treatise developing several threads — the classic Analysis misfit.
  • More than one point, or a single point buried under survey-style scene-setting.
  • A counterexample that does not actually bite, or a reply that does not actually answer.
  • Padding, lengthy literature review, or apparatus disproportionate to one short point.
  • Imprecise theses or undefined key terms in a piece with no room to recover.
  • A contribution that genuinely needs full-article length to succeed (route to a generalist venue).

Re-routing decision

  • The idea genuinely needs full-length development → the-philosophical-review / nous / the-journal-of-philosophy.
  • A sustained argument in the UK/analytic tradition → mind.
  • Moral, political, or normative-ethics focus needing room → ethics / philosophy-and-public-affairs.
  • Aesthetics / philosophy of art → the-journal-of-aesthetics-and-art-criticism.
  • Argument about historical or inquiry-level method → history-and-theory.
