What it does
Arpsych Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when judging whether a psychology topic is mature, important, and synthesis-ready enough to warrant an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) review. Tests topic fit; it does not pitch the topic to the Committee (arpsych-proposal-and-commissioning) or gather the literature (arpsych-literature-synthesis).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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.

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
Arpsych Topic Selection loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 547 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.

- arpsych-topic-selection
- description
- Use when judging whether a psychology topic is mature, important, and synthesis-ready enough to warrant an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) review. Tests topic fit; it does not pitch the topic to the Committee (arpsych-proposal-and-commissioning) or gather the literature (arpsych-literature-synthesis).
Topic Selection — Is This an ARPsych Topic? (arpsych-topic-selection)
When to trigger
- A user wants to write "a review" and needs to know whether ARPsych is the right home
- An invitation is possible but the angle on the topic is undecided
- The candidate topic feels either too narrow (one lab's program) or too vast (all of memory)
- You must distinguish an ARPsych-scale survey from a Psychological Bulletin meta-analysis
The three gates a topic must pass
ARPsych commissions reviews that the whole field will read for a decade. A topic earns a slot only if it clears all three:
| Gate | Question | Fails when |
|---|---|---|
| Maturity | Is there enough accumulated, settled-enough work to synthesize? | The area is 3 papers old and moving weekly — premature; the review would date in a year |
| Importance | Will cognitive/social/developmental/clinical/neuro/I-O readers and adjacent fields care? | The topic matters only to one specialty's insiders |
| Synthesis-readiness | Is the literature fragmented in a way a framework could resolve? | The field is already tidy (a textbook chapter covers it) — nothing to add |
A topic that is mature + important but already well-synthesized does not need an ARPsych review; the value is the new organizing idea, not the recap.
Scoping the topic to the volume
ARPsych articles have a length assigned in the invitation letter (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准) — typically a focused subfield, not an entire domain. Calibrate scope so the review is:
- Comprehensive within its frame — a reader trusts it covers the relevant work (see
arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance) - Bounded — "X across the lifespan" or "the mechanisms of X", not "everything about X"
- Current — ARPsych prizes the recent frontier plus the foundational anchors; a pure history belongs elsewhere
- Forward-looking — the topic must support a genuine future-directions close, not just a wrap-up
A good test: can you name, in one phrase, the organizing question the review will answer (not the area it will cover)? "How do X and Y jointly shape Z?" beats "research on Z."

Sibling-venue triage (route away if mismatched)
| If the topic is really… | The home is… | Tell |
|---|---|---|
| a stand-alone meta-analysis you want to run and submit | Psychological Bulletin | you have an effect to estimate, not a field to map |
| a clinical-psychology survey | Annual Review of Clinical Psychology (sister) | the audience is clinical scientists specifically |
| a short, provocative argument or commentary | Perspectives on Psychological Science | it is an opinion essay, not a survey of record |
| an original study with new data | a primary journal | you ran the study yourself |
Checklist
- Topic clears Maturity, Importance, and Synthesis-readiness gates
- One-phrase organizing question is written (not just an area label)
- Scope is bounded to a plausible single-article length (per invitation norms)
- The topic supports a real future-directions agenda, not a recap
- Not better served by Psychological Bulletin / ARClinPsych / Perspectives
- Recent frontier + foundational anchors both exist in the literature
- The new contribution is an organizing idea, not a summary of known facts
Anti-patterns
- Proposing an entire domain ("emotion", "memory") — unscopeable in one review
- Pitching a topic that is one lab's research program dressed as a field
- Choosing a topic so new it cannot yet be synthesized (review will be obsolete fast)
- Choosing a topic already covered by a recent ARPsych/Annual Reviews article (check the archive)
- Confusing "I want to publish a meta-analysis" with "the field needs a review" (→ Psych Bulletin)
- No organizing question — only a subject heading
Output format
【Organizing question】"<the one question the review answers>"
【Maturity / Importance / Synthesis-readiness】pass/fail each + why
【Scope】subfield + boundary (in/out) + plausible length
【Future-directions potential】Y/N — what the open agenda would be
