Example prompts

  • “/laser-and-photonics-reviews”

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

Laser And Photonics Reviews loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 857 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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.

Laser & Photonics Reviews (laser-and-photonics-reviews)

Journal positioning

Laser & Photonics Reviews is a Wiley journal for laser physics and photonics with a distinct review-leaning identity: it publishes authoritative, critical reviews that synthesize a field and set its agenda, alongside selected high-quality original research of broad photonics interest. The defining expectation differs from a primary-research-first venue: a review must do more than catalogue the literature — it must organize, critique, and frame open problems with the authority of someone shaping the field; an original-research submission must be of review-worthy significance and breadth. A narrow tutorial, an uncritical reference list, or an incremental experimental note is a poor fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Laser & Photonics Reviews author guidelines on the Wiley site.

When to trigger

  • The author is planning a critical review of a laser-physics or photonics field and wants a fit/framing and authority check.
  • A primary-research result of unusually broad significance is being considered for a review-leaning venue rather than a primary-research-first one.
  • The author is choosing between Laser & Photonics Reviews and optica / light-science-and-applications (primary-research-first), or a tutorial venue.
  • The author needs the journal's review-vs-original-research bar and its desk-reject heuristics.

Scope & topic fit

  • Critical reviews of laser physics: ultrafast and high-power lasers, novel gain media, laser dynamics, and frequency-comb science, with a synthesized, agenda-setting view.
  • Reviews of nanophotonics, metamaterials, metasurfaces, and structured light that organize a fast-moving field and identify the genuinely open questions.
  • Reviews of integrated and quantum photonics, nonlinear and topological photonics, and light–matter interaction with critical comparison across approaches.
  • Reviews of optical imaging, sensing, and biophotonics methods where a comparative, critical synthesis advances the field's understanding.
  • Selected original-research articles in these areas when the result is broadly significant and review-worthy, not a specialty increment.
  • Emerging-topic perspectives that frame a nascent photonics direction with authority and balance.

Method & evidence bar

  • For reviews: the contribution is critical synthesis — a coherent organizing framework, honest comparison of competing approaches, and a clear statement of open problems and outlook, not an annotated bibliography.
  • Coverage must be balanced and current, citing the primary literature fairly and avoiding self-citation bias or omission of competing work.
  • Quantitative comparisons (performance tables, trend figures) should use consistent, fairly stated metrics across the works compared.
  • For original research: optical evidence must be quantitative and rigorous — wavelengths, efficiencies, loss, bandwidth, and uncertainty with artifact-excluding controls — and benchmarked against the state of the art.
  • Claims (in reviews or research) must be traceable to evidence; speculative outlook must be flagged as such and grounded in the reviewed results.
  • Figures, especially redrawn schematics and comparative plots, must be original or properly permissioned and must clarify rather than decorate.

Structure & house style

  • The journal publishes Reviews and original Research; match the article type to the contribution and re-check current types and length on the live guide.
  • A review is organized around a thesis and a framework, with a strong introduction that states why the synthesis is needed now and a forward-looking outlook section.
  • Comparative tables and trend/landscape figures are load-bearing in reviews; they must be consistent, sourced, and genuinely informative.
  • Original-research articles follow standard structure with a significance-forward introduction and curated, quantitative main-text figures.
  • Supplementary material carries extended tables, derivations, and additional characterization; main display items must stand alone for the core argument.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the Wiley anchors, then cite the current Laser & Photonics Reviews author-guidelines page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Laser Photonics Reviews author guidelines" and follow the current Wiley submission system.
  • Re-check article types (Review vs. Research vs. Perspective), length/figure expectations, and any pre-submission inquiry or proposal step for reviews.
  • Confirm figure-reuse permission and copyright requirements for redrawn or reproduced figures.
  • Re-check data-availability, open-access options, ORCID, competing-interests, funding, author-contribution, and AI-use disclosure requirements.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • A review offers a critical organizing framework and open-problem statement, not an annotated reference list.
  • Coverage is balanced and current, with fair citation of competing work and no self-citation skew.
  • Comparative tables/figures use consistent, fairly stated metrics across the works compared.
  • Any original-research result is review-worthy in significance and benchmarked against the state of the art.
  • Reused or redrawn figures have permissions and clarify rather than decorate.
  • The article type (Review / Research / Perspective) matches the contribution and the live limits.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A "review" that is an uncritical literature catalogue with no organizing thesis or outlook.
  • Narrow scope or a tutorial-level treatment with no field-shaping synthesis.
  • Unbalanced coverage: self-citation bias or omission of competing approaches.
  • Original-research submission that is a specialty increment, not review-worthy in breadth.
  • Comparative claims built on inconsistent or unfairly stated metrics.
  • Reused figures without permission or with no added analytical value.

Re-routing decision

  • High-impact concise primary photonics research → optica.
  • High-impact photonics with Nature-style significance framing → light-science-and-applications.
  • Complete but narrower primary result → Optics Express / Optics Letters / Photonics Research (Optica Publishing Group specialty titles).
  • Broadest-significance photonics or review for a general-science audience → nature-photonics or nature-communications / science-advances.
  • Review centered on a photonic material system → advanced-materials / nature-materials review formats.
