  5. Declarations/data statement: review-safe wording in the blinded package; camera-ready repository links held separately until acceptance.

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

Worlddev Submission loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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.

Submission Preflight (worlddev-submission)

When to trigger

  • "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before uploading to Elsevier Editorial Manager
  • Unsure which files and declarations the WD submission requires
  • Confirming the manuscript is correctly anonymized for double-anonymized review
  • Confirming abstract, keywords, and structure meet WD/Elsevier requirements

Process facts (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准)

  • WD is Elsevier's multidisciplinary development-studies journal (ISSN 0305-750X; online 1873-5991), founded 1973, published monthly. Submission is through Elsevier Editorial Manager (verify the live link). Co-Editors-in-Chief (verified 2026-06-22): Jampel Dell'Angelo and Angelika Rettberg — Arun Agrawal (EiC 2013–2021) has since stepped down. Re-confirm on the live journal page before naming an editor.
  • Review model: double-anonymized. Author and reviewer identities are mutually concealed — this drives the anonymization requirements below.
  • Abstract ≤250 words, single unstructured paragraph; 3–6 keywords in English; abstract must stand alone (no undefined abbreviations, no in-text references).
  • Article length / word limit: 待核实. WD full articles are substantial; confirm the current maximum on the live Guide for Authors before relying on any number — do not assume a short limit borrowed from a sibling title.
  • "Your Paper Your Way": initial submission formatting is flexible (single file, references in any consistent style accepted at first round); strict Elsevier reference formatting is applied at revision/acceptance. Re-verify.
  • Open-access option available (APC) alongside the subscription route; exact fees and waivers (e.g., Research4Life country waivers) are 待核实.
  • Declarations expected per Elsevier policy: declaration of competing interests, funding sources, CRediT author-contribution statement, data-availability statement, and ethics/consent approval for human-subjects research.

Preflight checklist

Anonymization (double-blind — do this first)
  • Title page with author names/affiliations is a separate file; the manuscript itself is identity-free
  • No "in our previous work" / self-citations phrased to unmask; third-person where unavoidable
  • Acknowledgments, funding IDs, and identifying local-institution names removed from the blinded file
  • Data-availability statement is review-safe (no identifying repository URL until acceptance)
  • File metadata / properties scrubbed of author name
Format & style
  • Abstract ≤250 words, single paragraph, stands alone; 3–6 keywords
  • No significance asterisks; standard errors / confidence intervals reported in exhibits
  • Tables and figures legible at print size; grayscale- and color-blind-safe; maps clearly classified
  • Effect sizes in interpretable, development-relevant units
  • References in a single consistent style (Elsevier formatting can wait for revision); confirm length against live limit (待核实)
Files & declarations for Editorial Manager
  • Blinded main manuscript + separate title page
  • Cover letter: development contribution, fit for WD (not JDE/WBER/JDS/EDCC), and why it suits a multidisciplinary readership
  • Declaration of competing interests; funding statement; CRediT contributions
  • Data-availability statement (matched to reality; review-safe)
  • Ethics/IRB approval and consent statements for human-subjects or qualitative fieldwork
  • Suggested/opposed reviewers if the form invites them (span the relevant disciplines)
  • Confirm not under review elsewhere; AI not listed as an author

Upload gate

Use a three-state decision before any file enters Editorial Manager:

  • GO: blinded manuscript, separate title page, cover letter, declarations, ethics/consent text, and data-availability statement are all present; author identity is absent from the blinded file and metadata; all volatile facts in the cover letter or manuscript have been re-checked or marked 待核实 outside the submitted prose.
  • CONDITIONAL HOLD: the manuscript package is complete, but one external fact still needs live confirmation (for example current word limit, APC/waiver detail, portal label, or editor name). Do not invent the fact; either verify it on the official page or remove the assertion from the upload package.
  • HOLD: any anonymization leak, missing declaration, over-limit abstract, identifying repository URL, unclear data-access route, or cover letter that cannot explain WD fit without pitching the paper as a narrow JDE/WBER-style econometrics article.

The gate is deliberately stricter than "all checklist boxes mostly done." A final preflight that returns HOLD should output the exact blocker and the file/section where it appears, not a generic request to "review submission materials."

Editorial Manager package order

Assemble the upload set in this order so anonymization errors are caught early:

  1. Blinded manuscript: no title-page identities, acknowledgments, funding IDs, author initials in file names, repository URLs, institutional ethics-board names that identify the team, or first-person self-citation phrasing.
  2. Separate title page: full author details, corresponding author, acknowledgments, funding, conflicts, and any non-blinded data or ethics details required by the portal.
  3. Cover letter: one paragraph each for development problem, evidence/design, contribution to WD's multidisciplinary readership, and sibling-boundary fit.
  4. Tables/figures/supplement: labels match the manuscript, file names are anonymous, maps and qualitative exhibits do not expose restricted sites or participants.
  5. Declarations/data statement: review-safe wording in the blinded package; camera-ready repository links held separately until acceptance.

WD fit test for the cover letter

Before submission, force the cover letter through this test:

  • Development problem: names the population, place, institution, or policy setting and explains why the issue matters for development practice or theory.
  • Evidence warrant: states the design or inference logic plainly, including whether the paper is quant-causal, qualitative, mixed-methods, political-economy, or policy/practice oriented.
  • Sibling boundary: explains why WD is the right home rather than Journal of Development Economics, World Bank Economic Review, Journal of Development Studies, Economic Development and Cultural Change, or World Development Perspectives.
  • Reader promise: tells a cross-disciplinary WD reader what they will learn that changes understanding of poverty, inequality, institutions, livelihoods, governance, sustainability, or policy implementation.

If the letter cannot pass all four checks in plain language, route back to worlddev-topic-selection or worlddev-writing-style before upload.

Volatile-fact handling

Do not let source uncertainty leak into the submission package. Use this rule:

Fact typeSubmission action
Word limit / article type / portal fieldVerify live in the Guide for Authors or leave out of the cover letter; do not copy a sibling journal limit
Editor namesRe-check live before naming anyone; otherwise address the editors generically
APC, waiver, or open-access feeTreat as budget/admin information, not manuscript content, unless verified on the current official page
Data and ethics policyState what the project will provide and why; if a WD-specific rule is uncertain, cite Elsevier policy generically and mark the WD-specific detail 待核实 in the internal output
Review modelKeep the blinded package conservative even if a portal field seems optional; double-anonymized review is the binding workflow assumption

Anti-patterns

  • Uploading a manuscript that unmasks the authors (self-citation, acknowledgments, identifying institutions, live repo link)
  • Asterisks for significance, or numbers with no development-relevant interpretation
  • Abstract over 250 words or that lists methods without the development finding
  • A cover letter that pitches the paper as JDE-style methods rather than WD-style development relevance
  • Asserting a word limit, fee, or editor name not confirmed on the live page (mark 待核实)
  • Treating a complete upload folder as submission-ready when the cover letter still cannot distinguish WD from its development-economics or development-studies siblings
  • Submitting a review package with camera-ready repository links, acknowledgments, or funding details that should have stayed in the separate title-page/admin materials
