What it does

The Lancet Diabetes And Endocrinology is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology or deciding whether a diabetes, endocrine, or metabolic study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the major-trial and population-research evidence bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, Lancet specialty house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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. 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.

Example prompts

  • “/the-lancet-diabetes-and-endocrinology”

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 Lancet Diabetes And Endocrinology loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 785 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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.

The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology (the-lancet-diabetes-and-endocrinology)

Journal positioning

The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology is a Lancet specialty journal for high-impact clinical and population research across diabetes, obesity, endocrine, and metabolic medicine — type 1 and type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic disease, thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, bone and mineral, and reproductive endocrinology. It favors major randomized trials, large prospective cohorts, and population/epidemiological analyses with clear international clinical or policy consequence, with a strong emphasis on rigorous design, hard or patient-important outcomes, and generalizable populations. Small single-center endocrine series, mechanistic/basic-science work without a clinical endpoint, and routine biomarker-association studies are a weak fit and belong in a broad clinical-endocrinology or basic-science venue. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology author instructions.

When to trigger

  • The author names The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology for a diabetes, endocrine, or metabolic clinical/population study and wants a fit/framing check.
  • A trial or large cohort must be re-framed around an international, practice-changing diabetes or endocrine question.
  • The author is choosing between The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Diabetologia, and general medicine.
  • The author needs the journal's reporting-guideline, registration, and desk-reject expectations for metabolic/endocrine evidence.

Scope & topic fit

  • Randomized trials in diabetes pharmacotherapy, glucose-lowering and cardiovascular-/ renal-outcome trials, and obesity/metabolic interventions.
  • Large prospective cohorts and high-quality observational studies on diabetes/obesity burden, complications, prognosis, or treatment effect at scale.
  • Endocrine trials and cohorts (thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, bone/mineral, reproductive) with patient-important outcomes.
  • Population, epidemiological, and health-policy studies on metabolic disease with international or equity relevance.
  • Pragmatic, implementation, and prevention trials, and well-powered diagnostic studies, in diabetes/endocrinology.
  • Systematic reviews and meta-analyses resolving a focused, clinically consequential metabolic or endocrine question.

Method & evidence bar

  • Trials must be adequately powered with prespecified, patient-important primary outcomes (cardiovascular/renal events, mortality, body-weight or glycaemic endpoints with clinical anchoring); surrogate-only endpoints need strong justification.
  • The applicable reporting guideline and completed checklist are expected: CONSORT for trials, STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for systematic reviews, STARD for diagnostic accuracy.
  • Trials require prospective registration; the registration number, protocol, and statistical-analysis plan are expected.
  • Observational and Mendelian-randomization claims must address confounding, pleiotropy, selection bias, and missing data; causal language must match the design.
  • Effect estimates need confidence intervals and absolute as well as relative measures; generalizability across populations and health systems should be argued.
  • Multi-center, international, and registry/linkage-scale evidence strengthens fit; single-center metabolic series rarely clear the bar.

Structure & house style

  • Lancet specialty format with a structured summary and a Research in context / evidence-before-this-study panel; re-check current article types and limits on the live guide.
  • The introduction frames the international clinical or policy gap in metabolic/endocrine care; the discussion states the practice consequence and limitations plainly.
  • A CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA flow diagram is expected where applicable; tables/figures follow Lancet statistical-reporting standards.
  • The role of the funding source statement and a data-sharing statement are expected; appendices carry protocol, full statistical methods, and additional analyses.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the ICMJE/EQUATOR and Lancet anchors, then cite the current The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "The Lancet Diabetes Endocrinology information for authors" and follow the current version.
  • Re-check article types, structured-summary and Research in context format, and word/reference/figure limits.
  • Confirm trial registration, the reporting checklist (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA/STARD), protocol/SAP, the role-of-funding-source statement, and data-sharing statement.
  • Re-check IRB/ethics and consent, ICMJE authorship and conflict-of-interest disclosure, funding, and AI-use disclosure.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • The study answers an international, practice-changing diabetes/endocrine/metabolic question.
  • The primary outcome is prespecified and patient-important; the study is adequately powered.
  • The correct reporting checklist (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA/STARD) is completed and attached.
  • Trials are prospectively registered with the number in the manuscript; protocol/SAP provided.
  • Confounding, pleiotropy/selection bias, and missing data are addressed; causal language matches the design.
  • IRB/consent, ICMJE disclosures, role-of-funding-source, and a data-sharing statement are prepared.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • Single-center or underpowered diabetes/endocrine studies with limited generalizability and no practice change.
  • Mechanistic or basic-metabolism work with no clinical endpoint, better suited to a basic-science venue.
  • Surrogate-only endpoints (e.g., HbA1c change with no clinical anchoring) presented as definitive.
  • Routine biomarker- or genetic-association studies without practice-changing consequence.
  • Missing trial registration, protocol, or the required reporting checklist.
  • Narrow scope without international clinical or policy relevance.

Re-routing decision

  • Broad clinical endocrinology (thyroid/adrenal/pituitary/bone) without practice-changing scale → journal-of-clinical-endocrinology-and-metabolism (Endocrine Society, broad clinical).
  • Diabetes work including basic/translational science → diabetologia (EASD, diabetes incl. basic science).
  • Population/policy framing without a clinical metabolic endpoint → the-lancet-public-health.
  • Endocrine-related respiratory or critical-care comorbidity dominant → the-lancet-respiratory-medicine.
  • Broad, practice-changing significance beyond the specialty → general medicine (jama / NEJM / The Lancet in the natural-science bundle).
