What it does

Epsl Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) via Editorial Manager — letters-format length check, title page and highlights, declarations (competing interests, authorship, AI use), data-availability statement with repository DOIs, and figure/table file compliance. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `templates/checklist.md` and `templates/manuscript_template.md`).

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.

When your agent uses it

  • Title page and highlights
  • Declarations (competing interests
  • Data-availability statement with repository DOIs
  • Figure/table file compliance

Example prompts

  • “/epsl-submission”

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

Epsl Submission loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 523 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

description
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) via Editorial Manager — letters-format length check, title page and highlights, declarations (competing interests, authorship, AI use), data-availability statement with repository DOIs, and figure/table file compliance. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Submission Preflight (epsl-submission)

The last pass before uploading to Editorial Manager, EPSL's Elsevier submission and peer-review system. The avoidable failures at this stage are mechanical: a main text over the letters cap, a missing data-availability statement, undeposited data, or incomplete declarations — each can bounce the manuscript before any science is read. Exact requirements (word cap, highlights, file formats) are volatile; re-check them on the official Guide for Authors the week you submit.

Templates in this skill: templates/checklist.md and templates/manuscript_template.md.

When to trigger

  • Final pass before upload to Editorial Manager
  • Unsure which files, statements, and metadata EPSL expects
  • Verifying the letters-format constraints are actually met

Process facts (re-check volatile items on the official page)

  • Publisher / system: Elsevier; submission through Editorial Manager (the journal's entry link is on the ScienceDirect journal page).
  • Format: a Letter — main text (introduction through conclusions) capped near 6,500 words (re-check); concise titles; companion papers discouraged.
  • Article types: Letters; invited Frontiers Papers (do not self-select without invitation); Comments/Replies; Errata/Corrigenda; Special-Issue papers.
  • Data: Elsevier research-data policy — a data-availability statement, discipline-repository deposition (EarthChem, PANGAEA, IRIS/EarthScope, MagIC, NASA PDS, Zenodo), linked at submission.
  • Declarations: competing interests, authorship/CRediT contributions, funding, and generative-AI use per Elsevier policy; ORCID for the corresponding author.
  • References: Elsevier author–date house style (re-check the current instructions); DOIs included.
  • Supplement: uploaded with the manuscript and reviewed with it.

Preflight checklist

Format & length
  • Main text within the letters cap (count introduction → conclusions; re-check the figure)
  • Title concise and process-forward; abstract self-contained with the headline number
  • Highlights prepared if the current guide requires them (re-check)
Files
  • Manuscript source file per the guide; figures at required resolution/format, vector line art
  • Supplementary material assembled and internally referenced (Fig. S1, Table S1…)
  • Full data tables deposited; DOIs/accessions resolve
Statements & metadata
  • Data-availability statement with repository DOIs
  • Competing-interest, authorship-contribution, funding, and AI-use declarations written
  • Corresponding-author ORCID linked; all coauthors approved this version
  • Suggested (and any opposed) reviewers entered; cover letter final (see epsl-cover-letter)

Worked micro-example (illustrative — the night-before pass on the slab-fluid Letter)

  • Length: main text 6,140 words introduction→conclusions — under the cap with margin for revision growth. Pass.
  • Data: EarthChem DOI for the boron dataset resolves; the tomography model archived with a Zenodo DOI; both cited in the statement. Pass.
  • Declarations: CRediT roles drafted per author; no competing interests; AI-use statement covers the language-editing tool per Elsevier policy.
  • The near-miss: the supplement still cited "Figure S6," deleted two drafts ago — a broken internal reference reviewers reliably notice. Caught by a final cross-reference sweep.

Anti-patterns

  • Counting only the abstract-to-references span and discovering the cap violation after format checks
  • "Data available on request" in the statement field
  • Declarations copied from another journal's template with the wrong policy names
  • Self-selecting the Frontiers type to look invited
  • Uploading supplement and manuscript versions that disagree on a number
