Epsl Study Design is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing the sampling, analytical, experimental, or modeling program for an Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) manuscript so the design can carry a process-level claim — sample context, reference materials, replication, blank control, and model resolution planned before data exist. It guides design decisions; it does not execute the campaign.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Research & Science, covering Experimental design, Architecture decision records and Database administration. 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.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Epsl Study Design loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 629 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.
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.

.claude/skills/epsl-study-design/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).EPSL reviewers reverse-engineer the design from the claim: if the paper says "this rate constrains
mantle upwelling," they ask whether the samples, standards, and models could ever have shown
otherwise. The predictable failures are samples without context, analytical campaigns without
traceability to reference materials, models without resolution tests, and rates without an
independent time anchor. Design against them before the first analysis. Data reduction and
uncertainty reporting live in epsl-data-analysis.
| If you claim... | Design must include... | Reviewer's killer question |
|---|---|---|
| An age / a rate | community standards, blanks, procedural replicates, stated decay constants | "traceable to what, at what 2σ?" |
| A mantle/crust source signature | screening for alteration + a crustal-contamination test | "is this source or shallow overprint?" |
| Deep structure from an inversion | resolution/recovery tests, damping trade-off shown | "can your data even see that depth?" |
| A P–T history from experiments | demonstrated equilibrium (reversals/time series) | "did the runs equilibrate?" |
| A planetary-interior property | sensitivity to the unmeasured parameters (e.g., core size, mantle Fe) | "how much does the answer move?" |
To support "the eruption tempo, not total volume, drove the crisis," the design (illustrative) builds its defenses first:
The design's decisive move: precision requirements were derived from the hypothesis contrast, so the campaign was sized to answer the question rather than hoping the errors come out small.

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill epsl-study-design -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (Earth-and-Planetary-Science-Letters-Skills/skills/epsl-study-design in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/epsl-study-design in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Epsl Study Design is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Epsl Study Design is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
