When your agent uses it

  • Targeting Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL)
  • Deciding whether a quantitative solid-earth
  • Planetary-science manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/earth-and-planetary-science-letters”

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

Earth And Planetary Science Letters loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 769 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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

Earth and Planetary Science Letters (earth-and-planetary-science-letters)

Journal positioning

Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL), published by Elsevier, is a broad-interest journal for quantitative research on the physical and chemical processes of the Earth and other planets. The defining expectation is a process-oriented, quantitatively rigorous advance — in geochemistry, geophysics, geodynamics, petrology and mineral physics, planetary processes, or paleoclimate/paleoceanography proxy science — that is significant to a wide earth- and planetary-science readership rather than to one specialty alone. Despite the "Letters" name, EPSL favors complete, self-contained articles in which the data, modeling, and interpretation jointly support a generalizable mechanism; a purely descriptive regional report, a method note with no process payoff, or a result of interest only to a narrow sub-field is a weak fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidance. Before submitting, re-check the live EPSL / Elsevier author instructions and data policy.

When to trigger

  • The author names EPSL and wants a fit/framing check for a quantitative solid-earth or planetary-science paper.
  • A regional geochemical or geophysical study must be re-framed into a transferable process or mechanism of broad interest.
  • The author is choosing between EPSL (longer quantitative process article) and geology (short, high-immediacy GSA letter).
  • The author needs EPSL's broad-interest significance bar and quantitative evidence expectations.

Scope & topic fit

  • Geochemistry and isotope geochemistry: tracers, dating, and elemental/isotopic systems constraining earth and planetary processes.
  • Geophysics and geodynamics: seismology, mantle dynamics, tectonics, gravity/magnetics, and lithosphere/deep-earth structure and evolution.
  • Petrology, mineral physics, and high-pressure/high-temperature experiments bearing on planetary interiors and differentiation.
  • Surface and planetary processes: volcanism, impacts, planetary evolution, and comparative planetology with quantitative constraints.
  • Paleoclimate and paleoceanography proxy records and their calibration, when the contribution is a mechanism or a generalizable proxy advance.
  • Cross-cutting modeling that links observations to a quantitative earth/planetary process.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution must be a quantitative, generalizable process or mechanism, not a catalogue of measurements from one locality.
  • Geochemical/isotopic data require documented analytical methods, standards, reference materials, blanks, and full uncertainty propagation.
  • Geophysical and modeling results need stated assumptions, resolution/sensitivity tests, and evaluation against independent observations.
  • Proxy and paleo reconstructions require explicit calibration, age-model treatment, and uncertainty, with alternative interpretations considered.
  • Claims of broad significance must connect the local result to a wider earth/planetary process; mechanism should be argued, not merely correlated.
  • Underlying data (and code where used) should be deposited in a FAIR repository or supplied as machine-readable tables per Elsevier/research-data policy.

Structure & house style

  • Elsevier article format; EPSL is article-length and self-contained despite the "Letters" name — re-check current article types and length on the live guide.
  • The introduction must state the earth/planetary-science gap and the broad-interest contribution, not merely describe a field area or sample set.
  • Figures should be quantitative and load-bearing (data with uncertainty, model–data comparisons, maps/cross-sections, isotope/phase diagrams) and support the mechanism.
  • Methods and a data-availability statement must let a reader reproduce the central result; analytical protocols and data tables belong in the paper or supplement.
  • Interpretation should be proportionate to the data and explicitly bounded by stated uncertainties.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the Elsevier/EPSL anchors, then cite the current EPSL page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Earth and Planetary Science Letters guide for authors" and follow the current Elsevier version.
  • Re-check article types, abstract/format expectations, and length/figure expectations.
  • Confirm the research-data policy: deposit data/code in a FAIR repository or provide machine-readable data tables, and cite them appropriately.
  • Re-check competing-interests, funding, author-contribution, CRediT, AI-use disclosure, and open-access terms.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • The contribution is a quantitative, generalizable process/mechanism, not a local catalogue.
  • Analytical methods, standards, and full uncertainty propagation are documented.
  • Geophysical/model results include resolution/sensitivity tests and independent evaluation.
  • Proxy/paleo reconstructions state calibration, age models, and alternative interpretations.
  • Broad-interest significance is argued by linking the local result to a wider process.
  • Data (and code) are deposited or supplied machine-readable per the data policy.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A descriptive regional report with no transferable process or broad-interest significance.
  • Geochemical data without standards, reference materials, or uncertainty propagation.
  • Model or geophysical results lacking sensitivity tests or independent evaluation.
  • Proxy/paleo claims without calibration, age-model treatment, or uncertainty.
  • Interpretation that outruns the data or ignores plausible alternatives.
  • Scope too narrow or too applied for EPSL's broad earth/planetary readership.

Re-routing decision

  • Short, high-immediacy result with broad significance in tight length → geology.
  • Highest-impact earth-science breakthrough for a general audience → nature-geoscience.
  • Carbon/nutrient/element cycling and budgets are the core → global-biogeochemical-cycles.
  • A documented dataset is the deliverable rather than the interpretation → earth-system-science-data.
  • Short, fast geophysical/geochemical communication → geophysical-research-letters.
