When your agent uses it

  • Targeting Limnology and Oceanography
  • Deciding whether an aquatic-sciences manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/limnology-and-oceanography”

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

Limnology And Oceanography loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 824 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
~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.

description

Limnology and Oceanography (limnology-and-oceanography)

Journal positioning

Limnology and Oceanography is the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) flagship for the aquatic sciences, spanning freshwater (lakes, rivers, wetlands) and marine (coastal and open-ocean) systems within a single community. Its scope covers aquatic ecology, biogeochemistry, plankton and microbial processes, and the physical–biological and physical–chemical coupling that links them. Its defining expectation is rigorous aquatic-science evidence that delivers process insight — an advance in understanding how aquatic organisms, chemistry, and physics interact, not a descriptive survey or a single-system observation without mechanism. A terrestrial study, or a purely physical-oceanography paper with no biological or biogeochemical coupling (better suited to a geophysics venue), is a poor fit however competent. 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 Limnology and Oceanography author instructions and data policy.

When to trigger

  • The author names Limnology and Oceanography and wants a fit/framing check for a freshwater or marine aquatic-science paper.
  • An aquatic ecology, biogeochemistry, or plankton/microbial study must be re-framed around its process insight and physical–biological coupling, or recognized as out of scope.
  • The author is choosing between this journal, global-biogeochemical-cycles, global-change-biology, and a hydrology or geophysics venue.
  • The author needs the journal's aquatic-process and measurement expectations across the limnology–oceanography continuum.

Scope & topic fit

  • Aquatic ecology and community/food-web processes in lakes, rivers, estuaries, coastal seas, and the open ocean, including trophic interactions and population dynamics.
  • Aquatic biogeochemistry: carbon, nutrient (N, P, Si, Fe), oxygen, and trace-element cycling, and the controls on productivity, respiration, and elemental stoichiometry.
  • Plankton, microbial, and viral processes: physiology, diversity–function links, blooms, and microbial loop dynamics with quantitative rate measurements.
  • Physical–biological and physical–chemical coupling: mixing, stratification, transport, and light fields as controls on biological and chemical distributions.
  • Biological–chemical responses to environmental change (warming, deoxygenation, acidification, eutrophication) when an aquatic process mechanism is central.
  • Methods and approaches that enable new quantitative insight into aquatic processes, when validated and broadly useful.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution must rest on a quantitative aquatic-science process, not a descriptive inventory or a single-station snapshot without mechanism.
  • Rate and flux measurements (productivity, respiration, nutrient uptake, grazing, remineralization) need stated methods, controls, calibration, and uncertainty.
  • Field sampling must address spatial/temporal representativeness, mixing depth and stratification context, and confounding water-mass or seasonal effects.
  • Experimental and incubation studies need adequate replication, appropriate controls, and honest treatment of bottle/enclosure artifacts and scaling to the natural system.
  • Coupled physical–biological claims must support the linkage with data or a validated model, not assert correlation as mechanism.
  • Data should be deposited or available per ASLO/journal policy, with relevant oceanographic/limnological metadata and cruise or site documentation.
Show full SKILL.md (381 more words)Show less

Structure & house style

  • Standard research-article structure (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion); re-check current article types and length on the live guide.
  • The introduction must establish the aquatic-process gap and why the system or mechanism matters across the limnology–oceanography community, not only to one basin or lake.
  • Figures should be quantitative and load-bearing: depth/section profiles, rate measurements, time series, and process or coupling diagrams with uncertainty shown.
  • An informative abstract stating results and their process significance is expected; re-check current abstract and formatting requirements on the live guide.
  • Methods, station/cruise metadata, and data-availability statements must let a reader assess representativeness and reproduce the central rate or flux estimate.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the ASLO/publisher anchors, then cite the current Limnology and Oceanography page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Limnology and Oceanography author guidelines" / "ASLO journals" and follow the current version.
  • Re-check article types (including any letters/short-form and methods options), abstract format, and length/figure expectations.
  • Confirm the data-availability and metadata-deposition policy and any community-database expectations for oceanographic/limnological data.
  • Re-check competing-interests, funding, author-contribution, 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 central contribution is an aquatic-science process insight, not a descriptive survey.
  • Rate/flux measurements report methods, controls, calibration, and uncertainty.
  • Sampling representativeness and stratification/water-mass context are addressed.
  • Incubation/experimental work is replicated, controlled, and honest about enclosure artifacts.
  • Physical–biological coupling is supported by data or a validated model, not asserted.
  • Data, metadata, and cruise/site documentation meet current availability requirements.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A terrestrial study, or one with no aquatic-process component, submitted to an aquatic-sciences venue.
  • A purely physical-oceanography paper with no biological/biogeochemical coupling (better for a geophysics venue).
  • A descriptive species or chemistry inventory with no mechanism, rate, or process insight.
  • Single-station or single-date sampling presented as representative without mixing/seasonal context.
  • Incubation results scaled to the ecosystem with no acknowledgment of bottle/enclosure artifacts.
  • Missing data-availability statement, metadata, or cruise/site documentation.

Re-routing decision

  • Large-scale ocean/inland-water carbon or nutrient cycling is the dominant framing → global-biogeochemical-cycles.
  • Climate-change biology of aquatic ecosystems is dominant → global-change-biology.
  • Catchment hydrology / inland-water flow process dominant → journal-of-hydrology or water-resources-research.
  • Purely physical-oceanography / circulation dynamics → a geophysics venue such as nature-geoscience.
  • Population/evolutionary mechanism in aquatic taxa → functional-ecology, ecology-letters, or molecular-ecology.
