What it does
Rt Journal Match is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when an author asks "which journal should I send this to?" or needs the best resubmission target after a reject. Profiles the paper, shortlists candidates from an index of 743 venues with tools/matchvenues.py, and ranks them into reach / match / safe with a resubmission ladder. Reads live venue facts from each pack's source-map; defers fit judgment to the venue's own topic-selection skill.
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.
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
- An author asks which journal should I send this to?
- Needs the best resubmission target after a reject
Example prompts
- “which journal should I send this to?”
- “s source-map; defers fit judgment to the venue”
- “/rt-journal-match”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Profile the paper — discipline + subfield, method/design, contribution type,
- Shortlist — run the matcher rather than reading the index by eye
- Score each candidate on **Fit × acceptance-odds × turnaround × cost/policy ×
- Return reach / match / safe (≈2–3 each) with one-line rationales + the live facts,
- Cost the ladder with rt-ladder-ev whenever the
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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Rt Journal Match loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 592 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 an author asks "which journal should I send this to?" or needs the best resubmission target after a reject. Profiles the paper, shortlists candidates from an index of 743 venues with tools/match_venues.py, and ranks them into reach / match / safe with a resubmission ladder. Reads live venue facts from each pack's source-map; defers fit judgment to the venue's own topic-selection skill.
Journal-Match (rt-journal-match)
The missing front-door question — which venue? — across the whole repository. Full
methodology + the stable venue index live in
shared-resources/journal-selection/journal-match.md
and venue-index.tsv.
Worked end to end, with real output:
worked-example.md.
When to trigger
- The author has a result/draft and no settled target.
- A paper was rejected and needs the best next venue.
- A "not a fit" signal means the scope/venue needs rethinking.
What it does
Profile the paper — discipline + subfield, method/design, contribution type, setting/data/region, ambition (be honest). Write it down once, in the shape of
paper-profile.yml; every later skill reads the same file instead of re-deriving it.Shortlist — run the matcher rather than reading the index by eye:
bash python3 tools/match_venues.py \ --title "..." --abstract "..." \ --discipline economics/labor --lane empirical --top 15--disciplineis a prior, not a filter: the discipline and its adjacents (discipline-adjacency.tsv) are boosted, but a strong match elsewhere still surfaces, because Step 1 is a judgement that is sometimes wrong. Add--only-disciplinewhen you are certain,--exclude <venue_id>for venues that have already rejected the paper,--jsonto pipe it.--list-disciplinesprints the vocabulary.Every row names where to read more —
source_mapfor a depth pack,profile_pathfor a breadth profile — and the terms it matched on, so a nonsense hit is visible as a nonsense hit.Read the warnings. The matcher flags weak evidence when its leading candidates each rest on one or two shared words — a ranking built on that is close to noise, because words the language reuses ("sensor", "generation", "network") will out-score a genuine subject match. It flags a coverage gap when nothing in the discipline you named scored at all: the prior can only re-rank venues that matched, never conjure one. Either warning means do not pass the list on as a shortlist — add the abstract, re-check the discipline label, or report that the subject area is thin in the index and route to
rt-venue-integrity.The matcher is measured: R@10 = 41.5% from a bare title, on a held-out half of a 1,738-paper gold set (
eval/RESULTS.md). That is a floor for one thin query, not the capability — it is why step 3 exists. The per-discipline table there is worth reading before trusting a result: coverage is uneven, and life sciences and natural science are visibly the thinnest.Score each candidate on Fit × acceptance-odds × turnaround × cost/policy × audience, reading the live facts from each candidate's
resources/official-source-map.md. Never quote a fee, acceptance rate, turnaround or page limit from memory.Return reach / match / safe (≈2–3 each) with one-line rationales + the live facts, then a submit order and resubmission ladder — seed the ladder from
ladder.tsv(candidate adjacency, not a ranking) and apply your own fit/odds judgement to it.Cost the ladder with
rt-ladder-evwhenever the author is under a clock or is choosing between two orders. The sequence, not the venue, is what costs a year.

Hard rules
- Live facts from the source-map, never from memory (fees, acceptance, turnaround, page limits, data policy).
- Fit judgment defers to the venue's
*-topic-selection/*-contribution-framing. - Be honest about odds; don't inflate a paper into a reach it can't clear.
- Coverage honesty: if a plausible venue is outside the index and its bundle, say so —
and hand to
rt-venue-integritybefore the author submits somewhere unverified. - The matcher retrieves; you recommend. Never pass its ranking through as a shortlist: open the packs first.
Output format
【Paper profile】discipline / method / contribution / setting / ambition
【Reach】V — why; key live facts (desk-reject, turnaround, fee)
【Match】V — …
【Safe】V — …
【Submit order & ladder】V_top → if reject → V_next (what to change) → …
【Open questions】facts to re-verify in the source-map before submittingAnti-patterns
- Recommending only reaches (wastes the timeline) or only safes (undersells the paper).
- Ignoring
lane— sending a qualitative/theory paper to an empirical-only venue. - Treating the
tiercolumn as a precise ranking (it is an indicative bucket). - Reporting the matcher's top-10 as the answer. It is a reading list.
