What it does
Submission Prep is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Runs pre-submission checks (word count, anonymization, citations, placeholders, cross-refs) and generates a checklist. Use before journal submission.
Its SKILL.md is about 750 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 Research & Science, covering Scientific writing and Citation management. 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
- Tasks that involve Scientific writing
- Tasks that involve Citation management
Example prompts
- “/submission-prep”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Render the manuscript if _manuscript/ does not exist or is stale
- Word count — Count words in the prose body of index.qmd
- Anonymization check — Scan index.qmd for content that may violate double-blind review
- Citation audit — Cross-check citations and references
- Figures and tables inventory — List all embedded outputs
- Placeholder check — Scan for orphan [FILL:] placeholders in index.qmd
- Cross-reference check — Scan for @sec-, @fig-, @tbl- references in index.qmd and verify each target exists (section IDs in the document…
- Generate submission checklist
- Report the full checklist with pass/fail status for each automated check, and leave manual items unchecked for the user.
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:
BashReadWriteEditGlobGrep
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bash
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
Submission Prep loads about 747 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 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: 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: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 266 words (~747 tokens).
“Run pre-submission checks and generate a submission checklist for a journal submission.”
