What it does

Hlr Revision And Editing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when working through the Harvard Law Review (HLR) post-acceptance editing cycle — successive substantive and technical edit rounds, responding to editor markups, and page proofs to publication. Drives the edit cycle to completion; it does not manage the offer/expedite phase (hlr-placement-strategy) or the first editor handshake (hlr-student-editor-review).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. 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.

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve substance before style. Settle the argument-level edits early; do not relitigate them once
  2. Track every change across rounds. Edits move footnotes and text; a fix in round one can break an
  3. Respond comprehensively, not selectively. Address every query in a round; partial responses cause
  4. Keep a clean change log. Note what you accepted, what you pushed back on, and why — it prevents
  5. Protect the voice and the claim; concede the rest. Defend substance and signature phrasing with
  6. Proof carefully, change minimally. At proofs, fix errors — do not reopen the argument.

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

Hlr Revision And Editing loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 500 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
~1.1k

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 working through the Harvard Law Review (HLR) post-acceptance editing cycle — successive substantive and technical edit rounds, responding to editor markups, and page proofs to publication. Drives the edit cycle to completion; it does not manage the offer/expedite phase (hlr-placement-strategy) or the first editor handshake (hlr-student-editor-review).

Revision and Editing (hlr-revision-and-editing)

After acceptance, an HLR piece goes through an intensive, multi-round editing cycle run by student editors — heavier and more iterative than at most journals. There is no single "R&R letter" as in peer review; instead there are successive passes (substantive, technical/line, Bluebook, proofs), each with deadlines. This skill keeps the cycle moving, protects the argument across rounds, and lands the piece in print without late surprises.

When to trigger

  • The substantive edit is underway and rounds are stacking up
  • You receive markups, queries, or new source-pull requests between rounds
  • You disagree with a proposed change and must respond across a round
  • Page proofs arrive and need a careful final pass

The edit cycle (round by round)

RoundFocusAuthor's job
Substantive round(s)Strengthen the argument; close gaps editors flaggedRevise on the merits; defend with reasons where warranted
Technical / line roundProse, clarity, house styleApprove or push back on specific edits, not en masse
Bluebook / cite roundEvery footnote conformed and verifiedSupply pincites/sources fast; fix unsupportable claims
Page proofsFinal typeset, last correctionsCatch errors; make only essential changes

Working the cycle well

  1. Resolve substance before style. Settle the argument-level edits early; do not relitigate them once the piece moves to line and Bluebook rounds.
  2. Track every change across rounds. Edits move footnotes and text; a fix in round one can break an Id. or a cross-reference in round three. Re-verify short forms after each round (see hlr-sources-and-bluebook).
  3. Respond comprehensively, not selectively. Address every query in a round; partial responses cause another round and slip the schedule.
  4. Keep a clean change log. Note what you accepted, what you pushed back on, and why — it prevents re-arguing settled points and helps the next editor.
  5. Protect the voice and the claim; concede the rest. Defend substance and signature phrasing with reasons; concede style and formatting to keep goodwill and momentum.
  6. Proof carefully, change minimally. At proofs, fix errors — do not reopen the argument.

Deadlines and momentum

The cycle runs on the journal's production calendar. Responsiveness is the variable you control: fast, complete returns keep the piece on schedule and signal good faith; slow returns stall it and strain the team. Build in time for the source-pull rounds, which are the most labor-intensive for the author.

Checklist

  • Substantive edits resolved before line/Bluebook rounds
  • Every query in each round answered (no partial returns)
  • Short forms / cross-references re-verified after each round of moves
  • Source-pull requests answered with exact pincites, fast
  • Change log kept (accepted / pushed back / why)
  • Argument and voice protected; style conceded
  • Page proofs reviewed for errors only

Anti-patterns

  • Reopening settled substantive edits during the line or Bluebook round
  • Partial responses that trigger extra rounds and slip the calendar
  • Leaving dangling Id./supra after footnotes were reordered in a round
  • Fighting every line edit and exhausting editor goodwill
  • Introducing new argument at page proofs

Output format

【Round】substantive / technical / Bluebook / proofs
【Open queries】count + the hard ones
【Short forms re-verified】after this round's moves? [Y/N]
【Change log】updated (accepted / pushed back / why)? [Y/N]
【Deadline】next return date
【Next】next round → publication (loop hlr-student-editor-review for relationship issues)
