Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 Physical and earth sciences. 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

  • Targeting Journal of Hydrology
  • Deciding whether a hydrology manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/journal-of-hydrology”

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

Journal Of Hydrology loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 766 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

Journal of Hydrology (journal-of-hydrology)

Journal positioning

Journal of Hydrology is Elsevier's broad-scope outlet for the hydrological sciences, covering surface and subsurface hydrology, hydrometeorology, water quality, hydrological modeling, and observational hydrology across catchment to continental scales. Its defining expectation is a sound, useful hydrological advance — a process insight, a method, a dataset-driven analysis, or an applied result that improves how hydrologic systems are understood, predicted, or managed; it deliberately accommodates process, observational, methodological, and applied studies more broadly than AGU's Water Resources Research, whose bar is fundamental water-science novelty. A well-executed regional study can fit here if it yields transferable lessons or clear hydrological insight, even without a wholly new theory. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidance. Before submitting, re-check the live Journal of Hydrology author instructions and data policy.

When to trigger

  • The author names Journal of Hydrology and wants a fit/framing check for a hydrology paper.
  • A regional or applied hydrologic study needs to be positioned for its transferable insight rather than rejected as "just a case study."
  • The author is choosing between Journal of Hydrology, water-resources-research, and a broader earth/climate venue.
  • The author needs the journal's breadth-of-scope reasoning and reproducibility expectations.

Scope & topic fit

  • Surface-water hydrology: rainfall–runoff, streamflow generation, floods, droughts, and catchment water balance across scales.
  • Subsurface and groundwater hydrology: recharge, aquifer dynamics, soil-water and vadose-zone processes, surface–groundwater interaction.
  • Hydrometeorology and snow/ice hydrology: precipitation, evapotranspiration, snowmelt, and land-surface water and energy partitioning.
  • Hydrological modeling, forecasting, remote sensing, and data assimilation, including large-sample and benchmarking studies.
  • Water quality, solute and sediment transport, and ecohydrology with a clear hydrological process or management linkage.
  • Applied and regional hydrology — water-resources assessment, human impacts, land-use and climate-change effects — when the analysis yields transferable insight.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution must be a defensible hydrological advance: useful process insight, method, dataset analysis, or applied finding, with stated transferability or limitations.
  • Models must be calibrated and evaluated with appropriate skill metrics, independent validation, and uncertainty treatment; equifinality and parameter sensitivity should be addressed.
  • Observational and field studies need credible monitoring design, instrument/error characterization, and reproducible data processing.
  • Claims of improvement require comparison against a sensible baseline model or method, not a weak strawman; large-sample or multi-catchment evidence strengthens generality.
  • A purely regional result should be explicit about what generalizes and what does not, so reviewers can judge the broader hydrological value.
  • Data underpinning the analysis should be available or clearly sourced, per Elsevier and journal data policy.
Show full SKILL.md (352 more words)Show less

Structure & house style

  • Standard Elsevier research-article structure (Introduction, Study area/Data, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions); re-check current article types and length on the live guide.
  • The introduction must state the hydrological gap and the specific advance, not just describe a basin or list prior work.
  • Figures should be quantitative and load-bearing (hydrographs, maps, skill/benchmark comparisons, uncertainty bands); study-area maps must support, not replace, analysis.
  • A highlights list and a structured or graphical abstract are commonly expected — re-check current requirements on the live guide.
  • Methods and data-availability statements must let a reader reproduce the central result.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the Elsevier anchors, then cite the current Journal of Hydrology page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Journal of Hydrology guide for authors" and follow the current Elsevier version.
  • Re-check article types, highlights/abstract format, and word/figure expectations.
  • Confirm the data-availability/research-data policy and any repository or data-statement requirements.
  • Re-check competing-interests, funding, author-contribution (CRediT), and AI-use disclosure, and open-access options.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • The advance is a clear hydrological insight, method, or applied finding, not an undigested data dump.
  • Models are evaluated with skill metrics, independent validation, and uncertainty treatment.
  • Observational/field design, error characterization, and processing are reproducible.
  • Improvement is shown against a sensible baseline, and transferability/limitations are stated.
  • Highlights, abstract format, and data-availability statement meet current requirements.
  • Figures are quantitative and load-bearing, not dominated by descriptive study-area maps.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A regional case study presented with no transferable insight, generalization, or stated lessons.
  • Model results with no calibration/validation, skill metrics, or uncertainty analysis.
  • Observational study with weak monitoring design or no error characterization.
  • Re-analysis of standard data with a routine method and no new hydrological understanding.
  • Missing data-availability statement or non-compliance with the research-data policy.
  • Scope mismatch: a pure water-engineering design, climatology, or chemistry paper with no hydrological process or management linkage.

Re-routing decision

  • Fundamental, strongly novel water-science theory/methodology → water-resources-research.
  • Land–atmosphere water/energy/flux process focus → agricultural-and-forest-meteorology.
  • Carbon/nutrient biogeochemical cycling dominant → global-biogeochemical-cycles.
  • Climate-dynamics or large-scale climate framing dominant → journal-of-climate.
  • Aquatic-ecology / freshwater-ecosystem emphasis → limnology-and-oceanography.
