What it does

Paper Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Evaluate a paper's contribution novelty, identify best-fit SSCI journal fields and ABS star rating, and recommend 20 target journals. Trigger when user says "paper submission" / "paper-submission" / "投稿评估" / "期刊推荐" / "target journal" / "选刊".

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/extract_journals.py` and `scripts/generate_report.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Web search. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库,覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…

When your agent uses it

  • User says paper submission / paper-submission / 投稿评估 / 期刊推荐 / target journal / 选刊
  • Tasks that involve Web search

Example prompts

  • “paper submission”
  • “paper-submission”
  • “target journal”
  • “/paper-submission”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, WebSearch, WebFetch, Agent

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Initialization
  2. Literature Novelty Assessment (Web Search Required)
  3. Field Matching and ABS Star Rating
  4. Journal Recommendations
  5. Report Generation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • AskUserQuestion
    • WebSearch
    • WebFetch
    • Agent

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Paper Submission loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,368 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, WebSearch, WebFetch, Agent

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,368 words (~3,444 tokens).

“This skill evaluates an academic paper and produces a comprehensive submission target report. It performs four assessments:”
