When your agent uses it

  • Targeting Arthritis & Rheumatology
  • Deciding whether a rheumatology/autoimmune-disease study fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/arthritis-and-rheumatology”

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

Arthritis And Rheumatology loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 773 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
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.

Arthritis & Rheumatology (arthritis-and-rheumatology)

Journal positioning

Arthritis & Rheumatology (A&R) is the flagship journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), publishing clinical trials, observational and outcomes research, and basic/translational science across rheumatic and autoimmune/musculoskeletal disease — rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, systemic sclerosis, Sjögren's disease, spondyloarthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, and the underlying immunology and joint/connective-tissue biology. It serves rheumatologists and autoimmune-disease scientists, and expects work that advances disease mechanism or changes how rheumatic disease is classified, treated, or monitored; underpowered single-center series and bench studies with no autoimmune/musculoskeletal-disease anchor are a weak fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live Arthritis & Rheumatology author instructions.

When to trigger

  • The author names Arthritis & Rheumatology for a rheumatology clinical, observational, or basic/translational study and wants a fit/framing check.
  • A study must be re-framed around an autoimmune/musculoskeletal-disease mechanism or a practice-relevant rheumatology question.
  • The author is choosing between A&R, a general-medicine or immunology journal, and another rheumatology specialty venue.
  • The author needs the journal's reporting-guideline, registration, classification-criteria, and desk-reject expectations.

Scope & topic fit

  • Randomized and pragmatic trials in inflammatory arthritis, connective-tissue disease, and vasculitis, including biologics and targeted-synthetic DMARDs.
  • Observational, cohort, registry, and comparative-effectiveness studies with rigorous design and confounding control.
  • Disease-classification and outcome-measure development/validation (e.g., classification criteria, response indices).
  • Basic and translational immunology and joint/connective-tissue biology with clear autoimmune/musculoskeletal-disease relevance.
  • Imaging, biomarker, and prognostic studies with clinically meaningful rheumatology endpoints and a reference standard.
  • Osteoarthritis, gout, and bone/cartilage biology with mechanistic or practice advance.

Method & evidence bar

  • Clinical studies must be adequately powered with prespecified, patient-centered primary outcomes; validated disease-activity/response measures are expected, and surrogate-only endpoints need justification.
  • The applicable reporting guideline must be followed and its checklist supplied: CONSORT for trials, STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for systematic reviews, STARD for diagnostic accuracy.
  • Interventional trials require prospective registration; the registration number and protocol/statistical-analysis plan are expected.
  • Basic/translational claims need rigorous controls, adequate replication, and validation in patient samples or disease-relevant models, with appropriate immune/joint-assay rigor.
  • Classification-criteria and outcome-measure work must follow accepted methodology with derivation and independent validation cohorts.
  • Observational and registry analyses must address confounding, channeling/indication bias, and missing data; causal language must match the design.

Structure & house style

  • ACR/Wiley format with a structured abstract; re-check current article types, graphical-abstract requirements, and limits on the live guide.
  • The introduction frames a focused rheumatology question and its mechanistic or clinical importance; the discussion states the management, classification, or mechanistic implication plainly and uses current ACR/EULAR nomenclature and criteria.
  • Tables/figures follow journal statistical-reporting standards; a CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA flow diagram is expected where applicable; mechanistic figures must show controls and replication.
  • Supplements carry the protocol, full statistical and assay methods, and additional cohorts/analyses.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the ICMJE/EQUATOR and ACR anchors, then cite the current Arthritis & Rheumatology page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Arthritis & Rheumatology author guidelines" and follow the current ACR/Wiley version.
  • Re-check article types, word/figure limits, structured- and graphical-abstract format, and statistical-reporting requirements.
  • Confirm trial registration, the reporting checklist (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA/STARD), data-sharing statement, and protocol/SAP submission; confirm use of validated outcome measures/classification criteria.
  • Re-check IRB/ethics and consent, animal-use approval where relevant, ICMJE authorship and conflict-of-interest disclosure, funding, and AI-use disclosure.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • The study answers a focused rheumatology question with a clear mechanistic or practice/classification implication.
  • The primary outcome is prespecified and patient-centered, using validated disease-activity/response measures.
  • Mechanistic claims rest on adequately controlled, replicated assays, ideally validated in patient samples.
  • The correct reporting checklist (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA/STARD) is completed and attached.
  • Trials are prospectively registered with the number in the manuscript; protocol/SAP provided.
  • IRB/consent, ICMJE disclosures, and a data-sharing statement are prepared; current ACR/EULAR criteria are used.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • Underpowered single-center series or registry slices with no mechanistic or practice advance.
  • Outcome measures that are not validated, or classification-criteria work without an independent validation cohort.
  • Mechanistic claims from one model or cell line with no patient-sample validation and weak controls.
  • Missing trial registration, protocol, or the required reporting checklist.
  • Observational analyses with inadequate confounding/indication-bias handling or overstated causal claims.
  • Basic immunology with no autoimmune/musculoskeletal-disease anchor, better served by an immunology venue.

Re-routing decision

  • Allergy/asthma or type 2 clinical immunology emphasis → journal-of-allergy-and-clinical-immunology.
  • Practice-changing, broadly significant trial → general medicine (jama / NEJM / The Lancet in the natural-science bundle).
  • Autoimmune disease with a dominant neurology/CNS focus → brain / jama-neurology.
  • Musculoskeletal imaging where the imaging method dominates → radiology.
  • Pure basic immunology or matrix/bone biology with no disease translation → a basic-science venue in the natural-science bundle.
