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

Bjps Review Process loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 581 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~1.3k

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 to understand how the British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review with at least two referees, the desk screen, decision categories, and what reviewers are asked to weigh. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

Review Process (bjps-review-process)

Knowing how BJPS screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. BJPS uses double-blind review usually involving at least two referees, and an editorial team drawn from across the discipline screens for fit before sending a paper out.

When to trigger

  • Before submitting, to stress-test against desk-screen grounds
  • Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
  • Understanding what reviewers are instructed to weigh
  • Deciding whether the paper's general interest is strong enough to send out for review

How BJPS review works

  1. Double-blind. Reviewers do not know the authors and authors do not know reviewers. Anonymize the manuscript accordingly: remove author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, funding notes, and links to personal/university websites (see bjps-submission).
  2. Desk screen first. The editorial team assesses fit — wide political-science interest, scope, adequate English, and basic competence — before external review. A competent but parochial (single-subfield or single-country-framed) paper is a common desk-screen casualty.
  3. External review. Papers passing the desk are sent to at least two expert referees, who weigh the contribution's significance, the soundness of theory and design, and the credibility of the evidence on the method's own terms.
  4. Decision categories: reject / revise-and-resubmit / (rarely on first round) accept. An R&R is a genuine signal; conditional acceptance follows a convergent revision (待核实 exact category labels on the live page).
  5. Format-aware screening. Letters are held to "complete short contribution" standards; Comments are judged on whether they engage the target article accurately and add to the record.

Shape the paper to pass

  • Make wide interest explicit (avoids the parochialism desk-screen failure).
  • Engage the relevant literatures, including across subfields and countries.
  • Clear ethics/consent and human-subjects compliance up front.
  • Anonymize thoroughly — broken anonymity can compromise double-blind review.
  • Write to expert reviewers: anticipate the strongest objection and answer it in the design.

Anti-patterns

  • Submitting a single-subfield or single-country-framed paper to a broad generalist journal
  • Ignoring an obvious related literature across subfields/countries
  • Expecting an R&R for a paper far from publishable — R&R signals near-readiness
  • Leaving self-identifying material that breaks double-blind anonymity

Output format

【Desk-screen check】wide interest / scope / English / competence — any red flags?
【Interest】broad enough to clear the parochialism screen? [Y/N]
【Literature engaged】incl. cross-subfield / cross-national? [Y/N]
【Format】Research Article / Letter / Comment — held to its standard?
【Realistic outcome】reject / R&R / (rare) accept
【Next】bjps-submission (or bjps-rebuttal if decided)

What BJPS referees probe, by tradition

BJPS draws referees from across an international discipline, so a single paper may be read by a comparativist, a formal theorist, and a methodologist at once. Calibrate to whichever lens is decisive, but expect the wide-interest question to be asked by all of them.

TraditionThe check a BJPS referee runs firstThe fix that earns the benefit of the doubt
Comparative / single-countryDoes the case speak to a general mechanism, or stay local?State what the case is a case of and what travels
Observational causalIs the "causal" word doing more than the design licenses?State estimand + assumption; sensitivity to a confounder
Survey / lab experimentIs inference randomization-based and pre-registered?Randomization inference, pre-registered estimand, MDE reported
Cross-national quantitativeDo measures mean the same thing across countries?Report measurement equivalence before pooling
Formal / interpretiveDoes the argument buy a non-obvious, portable result?Name the comparative static / the conceptual move it enables

Calibration anchors (hedged)

  • BJPS's premium is wide interest across countries and subfields — a competent but parochial paper is a common desk-screen casualty even when its within-niche execution is sound.
  • The journal practises methodological pluralism: a rigorous qualitative, formal, or interpretive paper is not second-class to a regression. Match the inference standard to the design.
  • Exact decision-category labels, referee count, and time-to-decision can change — confirm against the journal's current peer-review guidelines before relying on them.
