What it does

Rt Submission Readiness is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when an author is one revision away from submission and needs a venue-parameterized go/no-go scorecard on the actual manuscript: fit, identification, robustness, exhibits, exposition, venue mechanics, data/code, and pre-empted objections. Returns PASS/FLAG/FAIL per dimension, the blocking gaps, and the desk-reject risk. Reads the venue bar from the target pack + source-map.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 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 Product & Project Management, covering Feature launches and release readiness. 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 is one revision away from submission and needs a venue-parameterized go/no-go scorecard on the actual manuscript: fit
  • Venue mechanics
  • Pre-empted objections

Example prompts

  • “/rt-submission-readiness”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. The manuscript or submission packet, including front matter, main text, exhibits,
  2. The target journal pack's README.md, relevant skills, and
  3. Any executed analysis artifacts from rt-execution-bridge: result handles, audit gaps,

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

Rt Submission Readiness loads about 988 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 391 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~988

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 is one revision away from submission and needs a venue-parameterized go/no-go scorecard on the actual manuscript: fit, identification, robustness, exhibits, exposition, venue mechanics, data/code, and pre-empted objections. Returns PASS/FLAG/FAIL per dimension, the blocking gaps, and the desk-reject risk. Reads the venue bar from the target pack + source-map.

Submission-Readiness Self-Check (rt-submission-readiness)

The mechanical/structural go/no-go that catches avoidable desk rejects before you hit submit. Full rubric: shared-resources/submission-readiness/readiness-checklist.md. It is the outward-facing analogue of the repo's internal tools/quality_scorecard.py.

When to trigger

  • The draft is "done" and the author is about to submit to a named venue.
  • Before paying a submission fee / starting the portal.
  • After rt-journal-match selects the target and after rt-execution-bridge has run any empirical checks the paper depends on.

Inputs to load

  1. The manuscript or submission packet, including front matter, main text, exhibits, appendix, data/code statement, and cover letter if drafted.
  2. The target journal pack's README.md, relevant skills, and resources/official-source-map.md.
  3. Any executed analysis artifacts from rt-execution-bridge: result handles, audit gaps, robustness outputs, and replication/package notes.

What it does

Reads the target pack's skills + resources/official-source-map.md, inspects the actual manuscript (cite §/table for every flag), and scores nine dimensions PASS / FLAG / FAIL:

  1. Fit & general interest · 2. Contribution clarity · 3. Identification / method ·
  2. Robustness & inference · 5. Exhibits self-contained · 6. Exposition (magnitude up front) · 7. Venue mechanics (page limit / anonymization / fee / cover letter) · 8. Data & code / reproducibility · 9. Pre-empted referee objections.

Go/no-go: any FAIL on Fit, Identification, or Venue-mechanics is a no-go (the classic desk-reject triggers).

Decision contract

ResultMeaningRequired next action
GONo blocking FAIL and all venue mechanics are verified.Run rt-simulated-referee for the substantive attack surface before submission.
CONDITIONAL GONo fatal desk-reject trigger, but one or more FLAG items will draw reviewer pressure.Fix or explicitly justify each FLAG; rerun this check on the changed sections.
NO-GOAny FAIL on fit, identification/method, or venue mechanics, or an unverifiable required venue rule.Route each blocking item to the owning target-pack skill and rerun before opening the portal.

For UNKNOWN, name the missing evidence and the smallest artifact needed to resolve it. Do not silently upgrade UNKNOWN to PASS.

Hard rules

  1. Read the manuscript; cite locations — no status without a §/table/page reference.
  2. Venue facts live from the source-map, never from memory.
  3. No false green — unverifiable dimension → UNKNOWN, not PASS.
  4. Map every FAIL/FLAG to the owning skill (and its execution bridge) so the author knows exactly where to fix it.
  5. Separate mechanics from judgment — this skill catches preventable desk-reject risk; use rt-simulated-referee for the substantive probability of surviving peer review.

Output format

【Venue】… (bar: pack skills + source-map, read live)
【Scorecard】1 Fit … PASS/FLAG/FAIL — note (§ cited) · … (dims 2–9)
【Go / No-go】GO / NO-GO — deciding dimension(s)
【Blocking gaps (FAIL)】ranked; each with the fix + owning skill
【Will-be-pushed (FLAG)】referee-anticipation list
【Unknowns】missing evidence required before a green light
【Desk-reject risk】low / medium / high — why

Next: if readiness passes, rt-simulated-referee for the substantive adversarial review.
