What it does

The Journal Of Philosophy is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting The Journal of Philosophy or deciding whether an analytic philosophy manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit as a top generalist venue for agenda-setting articles, the argument-rigor and broad-significance bar, dialectical-engagement expectations, house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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

  • Targeting The Journal of Philosophy
  • Deciding whether an analytic philosophy manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/the-journal-of-philosophy”

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

The Journal Of Philosophy loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 748 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 targeting The Journal of Philosophy or deciding whether an analytic philosophy manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit as a top generalist venue for agenda-setting articles, the argument-rigor and broad-significance bar, dialectical-engagement expectations, house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

The Journal of Philosophy (the-journal-of-philosophy)

Journal positioning

The Journal of Philosophy, published by the Journal of Philosophy, Inc. (associated with Columbia University), is a top generalist analytic venue with a long history of publishing influential, agenda-setting articles — papers that name a problem, coin a distinction, or reframe a debate and that the field then argues about for years. Articles tend to be relatively concise and high-impact: a single decisive idea, sharply argued, rather than an exhaustive treatise. Its defining expectation is a rigorous original argument whose significance is broad enough to matter across analytic philosophy, not only to a sub-area. A careful but inward-looking paper, or a long survey-style piece without a pointed contribution, is a poor fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Journal of Philosophy author instructions.

When to trigger

  • The author names The Journal of Philosophy for an analytic-philosophy article and wants a fit/framing check.
  • A paper has one pointed, potentially agenda-setting idea that should be sharpened to generalist, broad-significance form.
  • The author is choosing between The Journal of Philosophy and Noûs or The Philosophical Review and needs fit/house-feel guidance.
  • The author needs the journal's significance/concision bar and desk-reject heuristics.

Scope & topic fit

  • Core analytic philosophy — metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and logic — with a contribution of broad interest.
  • Value theory and political philosophy when the argument speaks to general philosophical concerns, not only to specialists.
  • Foundational philosophy of science, mathematics, action, or probability when the stake is general.
  • Papers that introduce a new problem, distinction, or framing that the field can take up.
  • History of philosophy when it yields a live philosophical contribution.
  • Concise, high-leverage arguments where a single idea is developed with maximal clarity.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution is an original thesis defended by a valid, carefully structured argument with significance legible beyond the sub-area; the idea and its stakes are stated early.
  • The strongest objections and rival views are engaged head-on; the paper earns its conclusion against the best opposition rather than the most convenient one.
  • Distinctions are drawn precisely and key terms defined; the argument's logical form is transparent and its premises independently motivated.
  • Scholarly engagement is current and fair, situating the contribution in the live debate without padding.
  • Examples and thought experiments do real argumentative work and sharpen the central point.
  • Concision is a virtue here: the argument is developed to the point that establishes it and no further.

Structure & house style

  • Generally a tightly focused, often relatively concise analytic article built around one decisive contribution; re-check current length expectations and article types on the live guide.
  • Thesis and roadmap appear early; the structure drives toward the central point; objections-and-replies are integral, not appended.
  • Citation follows the journal's current style; footnotes carry qualifications and secondary dialectic.
  • Double-blind review: anonymize the manuscript (self-citations and acknowledgements) per current policy.
  • Prose is precise, economical, and pitched to a generalist analytic readership.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the press/society anchors, then cite the current Journal of Philosophy page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "The Journal of Philosophy submission guidelines" and follow the current version.
  • Re-check article types, length expectations, and the abstract requirement.
  • Confirm the citation/style format and anonymization for double-blind review.
  • Re-check the journal's policy on prior presentation/preprints, simultaneous submission, and AI-use disclosure.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • There is a single, pointed, original contribution with significance beyond the sub-area.
  • The argument is valid and each premise is independently motivated and defined.
  • The strongest objections and rival positions are engaged and answered, not deflected.
  • Engagement with the current literature is fair, current, and non-padding.
  • The manuscript is anonymized and follows the current citation style.
  • The paper is concise: it establishes its point without survey-style padding.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • An inward-looking paper whose contribution matters only to a narrow sub-community.
  • A long survey or treatise-style piece without one decisive, pointed contribution.
  • An argument that ignores or only gestures at the strongest objections.
  • Imprecise theses, undefined key terms, or an opaque logical structure.
  • Padding that delays or dilutes the central idea.
  • Exegesis with no live philosophical contribution.

Re-routing decision

  • Equally strong, more comprehensively developed generalist article → the-philosophical-review / nous.
  • Moral, political, or normative-ethics focus → ethics / philosophy-and-public-affairs.
  • Broad philosophy, especially in the UK tradition → mind.
  • Short, single-point argument or counterexample → analysis.
  • Aesthetics / philosophy of art → the-journal-of-aesthetics-and-art-criticism.
