What it does
Comparative Literature is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting Comparative Literature or deciding whether a cross-national, cross-linguistic, translation, or world-literature manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's comparatist fit, the cross-linguistic argument bar, original-language and translation expectations, house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Writing & Content, covering Translation. 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
Comparative Literature loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 759 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.

- comparative-literature
- description
- Use when targeting Comparative Literature or deciding whether a cross-national, cross-linguistic, translation, or world-literature manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's comparatist fit, the cross-linguistic argument bar, original-language and translation expectations, house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
Comparative Literature (comparative-literature)
Journal positioning
Comparative Literature, published by Duke University Press for the American Comparative Literature Association, is the field's senior journal for study that crosses national and linguistic borders — comparison across literatures, translation and reception, circulation, and world literature. Its defining expectation is an essay whose argument depends on the comparison: a claim that could not be made from inside a single national literature, grounded in command of more than one tradition and, where relevant, their original languages. A single-language reading with a token foreign comparison bolted on, or a thematic juxtaposition with no comparatist payoff, is a poor fit. 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 Comparative Literature author instructions.
When to trigger
- The author names Comparative Literature for a cross-linguistic, translation, or world-literature essay and wants a fit/framing check.
- A single-tradition reading must be re-framed so the comparison is constitutive, not decorative.
- The author is choosing between Comparative Literature and a national-literature or theory-led venue.
- The author needs the journal's comparatist bar and desk-reject heuristics.
Scope & topic fit
- Comparison across two or more literatures or languages where the argument turns on the relation between them.
- Translation studies and the theory and history of translation, including untranslatability and the work of the translator.
- Reception, circulation, and the cross-border life of texts, genres, and forms.
- World literature: its concepts, methods, and the politics of canon, language, and scale.
- Comparative poetics, genre, and form across traditions, including non-Western and minor literatures.
- Cross-linguistic readings that bring otherwise separate fields into genuine dialogue.
Method & evidence bar
- The contribution is an original argument that the comparison makes possible — the cross-linguistic relation does load-bearing work, not ornament.
- Command of the primary texts in more than one tradition is demonstrated; original-language engagement is shown where the argument depends on it.
- Translation choices, transliteration, and linguistic specifics are handled with care and made part of the argument where relevant.
- Theoretical or historicist framing serves the comparison and is alert to asymmetries of language, power, and circulation.
- The essay engages comparatist and world-literature scholarship, naming what its comparison changes.
- Claims are proportionate to the textual evidence in each tradition and avoid flattening difference.
Structure & house style
- Comparatist scholarly essay where the comparison structures the argument; re-check current length expectations and essay types on the live guide.
- MLA-based humanities citation per the journal's current style; notes carry qualification and secondary debate.
- Double-blind review: anonymize the manuscript (self-citations and acknowledgements) per current policy.
- Original-language quotation is given with translations, and non-Latin scripts transliterated, per the journal's policy — central to a comparatist venue.
- Any reproduced material requires permissions and meets the journal's specifications.
- Prose is legible to comparatists working in other language pairs, not only to specialists in one tradition.

Official-submission checklist
- Before giving submission-ready advice, read
../../resources/source-basis.mdand../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the Duke University Press / ACLA anchors, then cite the current Comparative Literature page you checked. - Search the live site for "Comparative Literature submission guidelines" and follow the current version.
- Re-check essay types, length expectations, and the abstract requirement.
- Confirm the citation/style format and anonymization for double-blind review.
- Re-check the original-language quotation, translation, and transliteration policy carefully, plus any permissions.
- Re-check prior-presentation/preprint, simultaneous-submission, and AI-use disclosure policies.
- If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.
Pre-submission self-check
- The argument depends on the comparison and could not be made from one literature alone.
- Command of primary texts in more than one tradition — with original-language work where the argument needs it — is demonstrated.
- Translation, transliteration, and linguistic specifics are handled with care and integrated into the argument.
- The framing is alert to asymmetries of language, power, and circulation.
- The essay engages comparatist/world-literature scholarship and names what its comparison changes.
- The manuscript is anonymized, follows current style, and has translations, transliterations, and permissions in hand.
Common desk-reject triggers
- A single-language reading with a token foreign comparison bolted on for appearance.
- A thematic juxtaposition with no argument the comparison makes possible.
- Reliance on translations where the claim demands original-language command, or careless translation/transliteration.
- A framing that flattens linguistic and cultural difference or ignores asymmetries of circulation.
- No engagement with comparatist or world-literature scholarship the essay claims to enter.
- Wrong venue: a study confined to one national literature better served by a specialist journal.
