What it does

Lang Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when anticipating how a Language (LSA) manuscript will be judged — the double-anonymous review, the general-audience and cross-framework bar, the desk-return filters (descriptive data dump, single-framework parochialism, undocumented data), and the decision categories. Sets expectations and stress-tests before submission; it does not write the paper.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Testing & QA, covering Load testing. 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

  • Anticipating how a Language (LSA) manuscript will be judged — the double-anonymous review
  • The general-audience and cross-framework bar
  • The desk-return filters (descriptive data dump
  • Single-framework parochialism

Example prompts

  • “/lang-review-process”

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

Lang Review Process loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 560 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 anticipating how a Language (LSA) manuscript will be judged — the double-anonymous review, the general-audience and cross-framework bar, the desk-return filters (descriptive data dump, single-framework parochialism, undocumented data), and the decision categories. Sets expectations and stress-tests before submission; it does not write the paper.

Review Process (lang-review-process)

Knowing how Language actually evaluates a manuscript lets you pre-empt the objections before you submit. Language runs double-anonymous review under co-editors and an editorial team, drawing referees from across subfields, and it screens hard at intake: a paper that is a descriptive data dump, that lives inside one framework, or that rests on undocumented data may be returned before external review. This skill maps the process and stress-tests the paper against it.

When to trigger

  • Before submission, to predict reviewer objections and the likely outcome
  • After a decision letter, to read the outcome category correctly (then route to lang-rebuttal)
  • Deciding whether the piece fits a full article or a shorter/online section
  • Calibrating expectations for a first-round outcome

What the process looks like (verify on the author pages)

  • Intake screen. Editors check fit, section, anonymization, and whether the paper makes a theoretically grounded claim for a general audience. Data dumps and framework-internal exercises can be returned without review.
  • Double-anonymous external review. Referees from the relevant subfields — and often one from outside it — assess the generalization, the analysis, the evidence, engagement across frameworks, and the transparency of data and glossing.
  • Decision. Typical categories: accept (rare on first pass), minor revisions, major revisions / revise-and-resubmit, reject. A substantive R&R is the normal good outcome.
  • Perspectives track. A Perspectives target article is reviewed, then paired with invited Commentaries and an author Rejoinder — a different rhythm from the standard article.

What reviewers are asked to weigh (anticipate each)

Reviewer questionPre-empt it with…
Is there a real theoretical claim, not just description?lang-theory-building — state the general claim + predictions
Does it engage rival frameworks fairly?lang-literature-positioning — adjudicate, don't ignore
Can the data bear the generalization?lang-research-design — scope the claim to the evidence
Are the statistics appropriate?lang-data-analysis — mixed-effects, effect sizes, no pseudoreplication
Can I check the data and glosses?lang-data-and-transparency — share data/code, source glosses
Is it readable outside the subfield?lang-writing-style — theory-neutral statement, glossed jargon

Undocumented datareviewers cannot check itsource glosses; share analysis data/code
Wrong venuebelongs at a subfield journalre-route, or broaden the claim
Anonymization breakdouble-anonymous integritystrip identifiers and metadata

Calibration (Language review culture, hedged)

Orienting heuristics, not guarantees; confirm process details on the current author pages. Language review rewards a grounded, framework-fluent, checkable paper and is patient with careful revision: the realistic first-round outcome for a promising submission is a major revision, not acceptance, and the revision often asks you to broaden the framework engagement or firm up the statistics. Illustrative: a phonetics paper returns with "revise and resubmit — strengthen the model and engage the exemplar-theoretic alternative"; the productive response refits a mixed-effects model, adds the rival's prediction and tests it, and documents the measurement pipeline, rather than defending the original as-is.

Anti-patterns

  • Submitting without pre-empting the obvious cross-framework objection
  • Reading a major-revision letter as a rejection (or a rejection as negotiable)
  • Assuming a subfield-journal analysis will clear the general-audience bar unchanged
  • Ignoring the intake filters and getting returned before review
  • Treating a Perspectives Commentary like a standard referee report

Output format

【Predicted intake risk】data-dump / parochial / undocumented / wrong-venue / anon-break / none
【Top reviewer objections】the 2–3 most likely, with the pre-empting skill
【Likely first-round outcome】accept / minor / major-R&R / reject (hedged)
【Section fit】full article / research report / online section / Perspectives
【Action】fixes to make before submission
【Next】lang-submission (pre-decision) or lang-rebuttal (post-decision)
