Encodes the journal's fit, its argument and music-analytic evidence bar, archival/critical and notational expectations, house style and review norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

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.

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 the Journal of the American Musicological Society
  • Deciding whether a historical-musicology manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/journal-of-the-american-musicological-society”

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 The American Musicological Society loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 810 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
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 the American Musicological Society (journal-of-the-american-musicological-society)

Journal positioning

The Journal of the American Musicological Society, published by the University of California Press for the American Musicological Society, is the flagship of historical musicology. It publishes original, field-defining studies of music and its histories — archival, analytical, critical, and theoretical — across repertories, periods, and approaches. Its defining expectation is an original argument that brings music itself into focus, joining rigorous engagement with sources (archival, documentary, notational) to a contribution that reaches beyond a single repertory's specialists. It is distinct from music-theory-spectrum, whose center of gravity is music-theoretical and analytical method as such, and from the-journal-of-aesthetics-and-art-criticism, which is philosophical aesthetics: the journal foregrounds the historical, cultural, and critical study of music, with analysis serving a historical or interpretive argument. A descriptive study with no broader stake, or analysis detached from a question, is a poor fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Journal of the American Musicological Society author instructions.

When to trigger

  • The author names the Journal of the American Musicological Society for a historical-musicology manuscript and wants a fit/framing check.
  • An archival or analytical study must be reframed to show its significance beyond a single repertory or specialist community.
  • The author is choosing between this journal and a music-theory or philosophical-aesthetics venue.
  • The author needs the journal's argument bar, music-example/permissions gates, and desk-reject heuristics.

Scope & topic fit

  • Archival and documentary studies of composers, works, institutions, and musical life, put to interpretive work.
  • Analytical studies of music where the analysis serves a historical, critical, or cultural argument.
  • The history of musical style, genre, performance, reception, and notation across periods.
  • Critical and cultural musicology, including music in relation to politics, gender, race, and ideas.
  • Source studies, philology of music, and the histories of musical scholarship and disciplines.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution is an original, clearly stated argument about music and its history, with significance beyond the immediate repertory.
  • Music is brought into focus through rigorous analysis, with notated examples and/or archival and critical evidence read closely, not merely cited.
  • Sources — archival, documentary, and notational — are handled accurately and critically, with attention to their limits.
  • Engagement with the relevant musicological scholarship is current, fair, and substantive.
  • The analytical or interpretive method is explicit; claims are proportionate to the evidence and the examples.

Structure & house style

  • Long-form scholarly article with a sustained argument; defer exact length expectations and article types to the live guide.
  • Chicago notes-and-bibliography style with full footnotes; re-check the current form on the live guide.
  • Music examples and notation are central: prepare clean, accurate examples to specification, and secure reproduction permissions for music, figures, and archival images — this is often the rate-limiting step.
  • Double-blind review: anonymize the manuscript, examples, and supplementary materials (self-citations and acknowledgements) per current policy.
  • Foreign-language sources are quoted and translated per policy; audio or supplementary media follow the journal's specifications.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the American Musicological Society / University of California Press anchors, then cite the current Journal of the American Musicological Society page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Journal of the American Musicological Society submission guidelines" and follow the current version.
  • Re-check article types, length expectations, and the abstract requirement.
  • Re-check music-example preparation and specifications, and reproduction permissions for musical examples, figures, archival images, and any audio/supplementary media.
  • Confirm Chicago notes-and-bibliography form and anonymization (including examples) for double-blind review.
  • Re-check translation policy for non-English sources and AI-use/competing-interest disclosure.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • There is a single, clearly stated, original argument about music whose significance reaches beyond the immediate repertory.
  • Music is brought into focus through analysis, with notated examples and/or archival evidence read closely.
  • Archival, documentary, and notational sources are handled accurately and critically.
  • Engagement with the relevant musicological scholarship is current and fair.
  • Music examples are accurate and to specification, and reproduction permissions are secured or planned.
  • The manuscript and examples are anonymized and follow Chicago notes-and-bibliography style.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A descriptive or specialist study with no argument or significance beyond the repertory.
  • Analysis or archival detail detached from a question, reported for its own sake.
  • Thin or uncritical use of sources, or claims out of proportion to the examples and evidence.
  • Missing or inadequate music examples, or no plan for reproduction permissions.
  • Wrong venue: a primarily music-theoretical/analytical contribution, or a philosophical argument about music, better served elsewhere.

Re-routing decision

  • Music-theoretical or analytical method as the contribution, with notation central → music-theory-spectrum.
  • Philosophical argument about music, art, or aesthetic experience → the-journal-of-aesthetics-and-art-criticism.
  • Music within a broad historical argument legible across fields → the-american-historical-review.
  • Music in relation to a problem-driven social or cultural history → past-and-present.
  • Music in relation to literature or critical theory with a literary-critical center → critical-inquiry.
