Hlr Preemption Check is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when verifying that a Harvard Law Review (HLR) argument has not already been made — the law-review "preemption check" run across SSRN, Westlaw/Lexis, HeinOnline, and Google Scholar BEFORE drafting. Confirms originality and refines the claim; it does not draft the thesis (hlr-thesis-and-contribution) or the literature engagement in the body.
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 Essays and academic help and Academic paper search. 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.
5 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.
Hlr Preemption Check loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 721 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/hlr-preemption-check/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).In legal scholarship, "preemption" means: has someone already published your argument? Running this search before you write is the single highest-return habit in the field — discovering that your claim appeared in a 2024 article after you have drafted 25,000 words is the classic wasted summer. A clean preemption check both protects originality and sharpens your contribution against the nearest prior work.
| Source | What it catches | Note |
|---|---|---|
| SSRN / bepress | Working papers and forthcoming articles not yet in print | Catches the most recent, still-in-press work — the highest preemption risk |
| Westlaw / Lexis journals databases | Published law-review articles, full text | Use field-restricted and date-restricted queries |
| HeinOnline | Deep historical law-review archive, PDF page images | Best for older and exact-pinpoint history of an idea |
| Google Scholar | Cross-disciplinary and gray-literature reach | Catches non-law work and citation chains |
hlr-argument-structure for engagement).hlr-thesis-and-contribution.A preemption check protects originality: has this argument been published? The literature review in
the body does different work — it situates the claim among the scholarship a generalist editor expects you
to engage (handled inside hlr-argument-structure). The same searches feed both: the nearest neighbors you
find here become the works you distinguish in the body. Do not let a clean preemption result excuse a thin
literature engagement, and do not let a thorough literature review substitute for the targeted, claim-level
preemption search — they answer different questions.
A hypothetical author plans to argue that a doctrine D should be abolished. A topic-level search for "D" returns hundreds of hits and feels hopeless. Re-running the search at the argument level — "D" + "abolition" + the distinctive ground the author relies on — surfaces only two close pieces: one argues for narrowing D (not abolishing it), the other abolishes D on different grounds. The verdict is partially preempted: the claim survives, recast as "prior work narrows D or abolishes it on ground X; this Article abolishes it on the stronger ground Y." The contribution is now sharper because of the search. (Counts and grounds illustrative.)
