What it does

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting The Lancet Respiratory Medicine or deciding whether a respiratory or critical-care study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the practice-changing trial and major-cohort 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 2.1k 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.

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 Respiratory Medicine loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 795 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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 Respiratory Medicine (the-lancet-respiratory-medicine)

Journal positioning

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine is a Lancet specialty journal for high-impact clinical and population research across respiratory medicine and critical care — asthma, COPD, interstitial and pulmonary vascular disease, respiratory infection, sleep and ventilation, lung cancer screening, and intensive-care/critical-care medicine. It favors practice-changing randomized trials, major prospective cohorts, and analyses with clear international clinical or policy consequence, with a strong emphasis on methodological rigor, generalizable populations, and patient-important outcomes. Small single-center series, mechanistic/basic-science work without a clinical endpoint, and incremental subgroup re-analyses are a weak fit and belong in a translational or broader-scope respiratory journal. 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 Respiratory Medicine author instructions.

When to trigger

  • The author names The Lancet Respiratory Medicine for a respiratory or critical-care clinical/population study and wants a fit/framing check.
  • A trial or large cohort must be re-framed around an international, practice-changing respiratory or critical-care question.
  • The author is choosing between The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, the ATS "Blue Journal", and general medicine.
  • The author needs the journal's reporting-guideline, registration, and desk-reject expectations for respiratory/critical-care evidence.

Scope & topic fit

  • Randomized trials in airways disease (asthma, COPD), pulmonary vascular and interstitial lung disease, respiratory infection, and sleep/ventilation.
  • Critical-care and intensive-care trials and cohorts (ARDS, mechanical ventilation, sepsis-related respiratory failure) with patient-important outcomes.
  • Large prospective cohorts and high-quality observational studies addressing respiratory disease burden, prognosis, or treatment effect at scale.
  • Lung-cancer screening, diagnosis, and prevention studies with population-level or practice-changing implications.
  • Pragmatic and implementation trials, and well-powered diagnostic studies, relevant to respiratory or critical-care practice internationally.
  • Systematic reviews and meta-analyses that resolve a focused, clinically consequential respiratory question.

Method & evidence bar

  • Trials must be adequately powered with prespecified, patient-important primary outcomes (mortality, exacerbations, lung function with clinical anchoring, quality of life); 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, with an independent data-monitoring rationale where relevant.
  • Observational and critical-care cohort claims must address confounding, immortal-time and 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 settings/populations should be argued, not assumed.
  • Multi-center and international evidence strengthens fit; single-center critical-care series rarely clear the bar without exceptional outcomes.

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; 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 Respiratory Medicine page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "The Lancet Respiratory Medicine 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 respiratory or critical-care 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, selection/immortal-time 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 respiratory/critical-care studies with limited generalizability and no practice change.
  • Mechanistic or basic-science work with no clinical endpoint, better suited to a translational journal.
  • Surrogate-only endpoints (e.g., a lung-function change with no clinical anchoring) presented as definitive.
  • Missing trial registration, protocol, or the required reporting checklist.
  • Observational analyses with inadequate confounding control or overstated causal claims.
  • Narrow or incremental scope without international clinical or policy consequence.

Re-routing decision

  • Translational, mechanistic, or basic-plus-clinical respiratory science → american-journal-of-respiratory-and-critical-care-medicine (ATS "Blue Journal", broader scope).
  • Diabetes/endocrine or metabolic respiratory comorbidity dominant → the-lancet-diabetes-and-endocrinology.
  • Population/policy framing without a clinical respiratory endpoint → the-lancet-public-health.
  • Lung-cancer therapeutics as the core oncology contribution → annals-of-oncology / jama-oncology.
  • Broad, practice-changing significance beyond respiratory specialty → general medicine (jama / NEJM / The Lancet in the natural-science bundle).
