What it does

Hlr Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Harvard Law Review (HLR) via HLR's own electronic submission system — manuscript readiness, anonymization, length limits, Bluebook 22nd-edition footnotes, expedite setup, and season timing. Final upload checks; it does not plan the placement strategy (hlr-placement-strategy) or draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `templates/checklist.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

  • Running the final pre-submission preflight for the Harvard Law Review (HLR) via HLRs own electronic submission system — manuscript readiness
  • Bluebook 22nd-edition footnotes

Example prompts

  • “/hlr-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

Hlr Submission loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 745 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 the Harvard Law Review (HLR) via HLR's own electronic submission system — manuscript readiness, anonymization, length limits, Bluebook 22nd-edition footnotes, expedite setup, and season timing. Final upload checks; it does not plan the placement strategy (hlr-placement-strategy) or draft content.

Submission Preflight (hlr-submission)

The last check before uploading through HLR's own electronic submission system (harvardlawreview.org). HLR does not intake through Scholastica — Scholastica/ExpressO are the general-market platforms you use to multi-submit and expedite at peer journals (see hlr-placement-strategy); HLR itself takes the manuscript on its own portal. Unlike a peer-reviewed science journal, HLR receives a near-final, fully footnoted article — there is no "revise the methods later." The most common avoidable failures are an over-length manuscript, an incomplete footnote apparatus, skipped anonymization, and mistimed submission.

When to trigger

  • "Submitting this week" — last pass before upload
  • Unsure what HLR's submission system expects in the package
  • Confirming the manuscript is genuinely near-final, anonymized, and pull-ready

Process facts (live-check only the items marked 待核实)

  • Owner / publisher: the Harvard Law Review Association — an independent, student-run organization (editorially independent of Harvard Law School).
  • Portal: HLR's own electronic submission system (Microsoft Word documents encouraged; mailing the Articles Office is a fallback). Not Scholastica. (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准 for any additional channel.)
  • Review model: student-edited, reviewed anonymously; each piece is read by ≥ 3 editors and many proceed through an Articles Committee vote, a preemption check, a faculty peer-review stage, and a full-body vote. ("Student-edited" — but a faculty peer-review stage does exist; do not tell authors there is zero peer review.)
  • Length (count includes text, footnotes, and appendices): Articles preferred ≤ 25,000 words; over 30,000 weighs against selection; unconditional acceptance over 37,500 is rare. Essays (Print/Forum) 12,000–17,500; Forum Responses 8,000; Commentaries 6,000; Book Review proposals a few pages.
  • Anonymization (required): keep name, affiliation, bio, and acknowledgments on a separate cover page; put the title on the first text page; anonymize self-citations.
  • Citations: The Bluebook, 22nd edition (HLR co-compiles it) — footnoted, pincited, signal-correct.
  • Expedite: request via the unique link in your confirmation email; HLR honors requests where it can but does not omit review stages; a ≥ 7-day offer-decision window is committed.
  • What HLR publishes: Articles, Essays, Book Reviews by outside authors; Notes and case/ legislation comments by student editors (student writing is unsigned); the annual Supreme Court issue (November) with the Foreword, and a Developments in the Law issue (April).
  • Leadership / no fee (re-verified 2026-09-14): HLR is led by an annually-elected student President (the law-review analogue of an editor-in-chief) — Volume 140 (2026–2027) is led by Alex Zhao ('27), elected February 2026, succeeding G. Terrell Seabrooks ('26) who led Volume 139 (2025–2026); the masthead rotates ANNUALLY each volume, so re-check the current masthead before naming anyone. Article selection is by student editors, and HLR charges no submission fee / no APC — Scholastica/ExpressO fees, if any, belong to the peer-journal market, not HLR's own portal.
  • Season: submit in the Feb-Mar main window or the smaller Aug window; earlier is stronger. Current intake volume/season status: 待核实 on the live page.

Preflight checklist

Manuscript readiness
  • Genuinely near-final — argument complete, not a draft to finish in editing
  • Length within limits: Article ≤ 25k (over 30k weighs against; over 37.5k rarely accepted), counting footnotes and appendices — cut before submitting if over
  • Introduction front-loads the claim and contribution (see hlr-writing-style)
  • Doctrine → theory → prescription arc intact (see hlr-argument-structure)
Anonymization & footnotes (the make-or-break)
  • Anonymized: separate cover page; title on first text page; self-citations neutralized
  • Every proposition pincited to the strongest authority (see hlr-sources-and-bluebook)
  • Bluebook 22nd-edition formatting, signals, and short forms consistent
  • Every source kept and pull-ready for the source-pull (see hlr-footnotes-and-cite-check)
  • Originality confirmed and re-checked near submission (see hlr-preemption-check)
Package & metadata (HLR submission system)
  • Word manuscript (with footnotes) prepared; abstract written
  • Anonymized cover page separate from the manuscript body
  • CV / author info ready as the portal requires
  • Submission set tiered and timed (see hlr-placement-strategy)
  • Expedite mechanics understood (only with an offer in hand)
Timing & compliance
  • Submitting early in a season, not mid-window into a crowded topic
  • If you prefer HLR, submit it ≥ 2 weeks before sending to other journals
  • Original, unpublished work; no overlapping commitment
  • Current intake volume/season status confirmed on the live page (待核实) — note HLR charges no submission fee / no APC; re-check the current masthead (student President rotates annually)

Anti-patterns

  • Submitting "through Scholastica" — that is the peer-journal market platform; HLR uses its own system
  • An over-length manuscript (over 30k weighs against; over 37.5k rarely accepted) — and forgetting footnotes count toward the limit
  • Skipping anonymization (cover page / self-citations) on an anonymously-reviewed submission
  • Uploading a draft you "plan to finish in editing" — HLR expects near-final
  • An incomplete or inconsistent footnote apparatus (it will not survive the source-pull)
  • Single-submitting and forgoing expedite leverage (see hlr-placement-strategy)

Output format

【Portal】HLR's own electronic submission system (NOT Scholastica)
【Length】word count incl. footnotes vs ≤25k / 30k / 37.5k thresholds — within? [Y/N]
【Anonymized】cover page + self-citations neutralized? [Y/N]
【Footnotes】pincited, Bluebook 22nd, pull-ready? [Y/N]
【Originality】preemption re-checked near submission? [Y/N]
【Timing】early in Feb-Mar / Aug season; ≥2 wks before other journals if HLR-first? [Y/N]
【Next】await offers → hlr-placement-strategy (expedite) → hlr-student-editor-review (on acceptance)
