What it does

Hlr Student Editor Review is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when working with Harvard Law Review (HLR) student editors after an offer — the intensive substantive and technical edit, the cite-check / source-pull, and author responsiveness. Manages the relationship and process; it does not run the pre-offer placement (hlr-placement-strategy) or the author-side cite apparatus build (hlr-footnotes-and-cite-check).

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.

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

  • Working with Harvard Law Review (HLR) student editors after an offer — the intensive substantive and technical edit
  • The cite-check / source-pull
  • Author responsiveness

Example prompts

  • “/hlr-student-editor-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Be pull-ready before you submit. Keep a copy of every cited source with the cited page marked
  2. Answer queries precisely. When an editor says "source does not support proposition," either point
  3. Turn sources around fast. The edit runs on a schedule; slow responses stall the whole piece.
  4. Flag anything you cannot source. If a proposition has no clean support, fix it now, not at proof.

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 Student Editor Review loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 519 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
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 with Harvard Law Review (HLR) student editors after an offer — the intensive substantive and technical edit, the cite-check / source-pull, and author responsiveness. Manages the relationship and process; it does not run the pre-offer placement (hlr-placement-strategy) or the author-side cite apparatus build (hlr-footnotes-and-cite-check).

Student-Editor Review (hlr-student-editor-review)

HLR is student-edited: once your piece is accepted, smart law students — not anonymous faculty peers — run an intensive edit. Expect substantive pushback on the argument, heavy technical editing, and a full cite-check / source-pull in which editors verify every footnote against the actual source. This is more hands-on than peer review at most journals. This skill helps you work with the editors and protect your argument while clearing the process.

When to trigger

  • You have an offer and the editing process is beginning
  • Editors sent a marked-up draft, queries, or a source-pull request
  • You disagree with an edit and need to decide how to respond
  • A deadline for returning the edit or sources is approaching

What the HLR edit involves

StageWhat editors doWhat they need from you
Substantive editPress the argument, flag gaps, ask for clarification or supportDefend, clarify, or revise — engage on the merits
Technical / line editTighten prose, enforce house style and BluebookApprove or push back on specific changes
Cite-check / source-pullVerify every footnote against the actual sourceProvide pulled sources or exact pincites on demand, fast
Page proofsFinal formatting and correctionsCareful, timely proof review

The source-pull (the distinctive demand)

HLR editors will pull every source and confirm that each footnote actually supports the proposition, that quotations are accurate, and that pincites are correct. To survive it without pain:

  1. Be pull-ready before you submit. Keep a copy of every cited source with the cited page marked (build this in hlr-footnotes-and-cite-check).
  2. Answer queries precisely. When an editor says "source does not support proposition," either point to the exact page that does, or revise the claim — do not argue around it.
  3. Turn sources around fast. The edit runs on a schedule; slow responses stall the whole piece.
  4. Flag anything you cannot source. If a proposition has no clean support, fix it now, not at proof.

Working with student editors (relationship craft)

  • Treat editors as collaborators, not obstacles. They are improving the piece and protecting the journal's accuracy; engaging in good faith makes substantive disagreements easier to win.
  • Pick your battles. Concede style and Bluebook calls; defend the argument and your voice where it matters, with reasons.
  • Respond on the merits. "I'm the expert" loses; "the source on page X supports this because…" wins.
  • Be responsive and on time. Responsiveness is noticed and reciprocated; it is also how the piece stays on the publication calendar.

Checklist

  • Every cited source kept and pull-ready with the cited page marked
  • Editor queries answered with exact pincites or honest revisions
  • Style/Bluebook edits conceded; argument defended with reasons
  • Sources and edits returned by the deadline
  • Any unsupportable proposition fixed before proofs
  • Tone collaborative throughout

Anti-patterns

  • Treating the edit as an attack and stonewalling editors
  • Fighting every line edit and Bluebook fix instead of conceding the small stuff
  • "Trust me, I'm the author" responses to source-pull queries
  • Slow turnarounds that stall the piece and annoy the editing team
  • Discovering an unsourceable claim at the page-proof stage

Output format

【Stage】substantive / technical / source-pull / proofs
【Open queries】count + the hard ones
【Source-pull readiness】all sources pullable with marked pincites? [Y/N]
【Battles】what to concede vs. defend (with reasons)
【Deadline】next return date
【Next】hlr-revision-and-editing (work the edit cycle to completion)
