What it does

Ylj Revision And Editing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when working through The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) post-acceptance editing cycle and answering author queries, or when preparing a shorter YLJ Forum piece. It covers the intensive student edit + the online companion path; it does not run the final cite verification (ylj-footnotes-and-cite-check).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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

  • Working through The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) post-acceptance editing cycle and answering author queries
  • Preparing a shorter YLJ Forum piece

Example prompts

  • “/ylj-revision-and-editing”

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

Ylj Revision And Editing loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 600 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 working through The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) post-acceptance editing cycle and answering author queries, or when preparing a shorter YLJ Forum piece. It covers the intensive student edit + the online companion path; it does not run the final cite verification (ylj-footnotes-and-cite-check).

Revision & Editing (ylj-revision-and-editing)

Acceptance at YLJ begins an intensive, multi-round student edit. Editors will substantively engage the argument, restructure for clarity, query every doubtful assertion, and (via source-pull) verify every footnote. This skill manages that cycle and the YLJ Forum online-companion path. The line-by-line cite verification it triggers is ylj-footnotes-and-cite-check.

When to trigger

  • A piece was accepted and the editing cycle is starting
  • You are answering a batch of author queries from student editors
  • A substantive edit threatens your argument and you must push back constructively
  • You are preparing a Forum piece (shorter, faster, often a response to a print article)

The print edit cycle (what to expect)

RoundEditors doYou do
Substantive / structuralTest the argument; flag gaps, overclaims, unaddressed objectionsTighten the claim; add the missing step; defend or concede
Source-pullVerify every footnote: existence, Bluebook form, supportResolve queries; supply pinpoints; fix unsupported cites
Line editSentence-level clarity, consistency, house stylePreserve meaning; accept clarity edits; flag any that change the law
Technical / proofBluebook conformity, cross-references, typesettingFinal read; confirm nothing shifted in your argument

Working the cycle well

  • Engage, don't resist. Student editors improve pieces; treat substantive queries as free peer review. Concede where they're right; that builds trust for the edits that matter.
  • Protect the law. A clarity edit that subtly misstates a holding is the one place to push back firmly — flag it, explain the doctrinal stakes, propose alternative wording.
  • Answer queries precisely. For each query give the pinpoint, the quotation, or the correction — not "trust me." Vague answers generate more queries.
  • Keep a clean change log. Track what each round changed so the argument stays coherent end-to-end.

Query-response ledger

Treat every editor query as a small validation gate. For each query, record:

FieldDecision
Query typeDoctrine / source support / Bluebook form / structure / prose / scope
Risk levelHigh if the edit changes the legal rule, holding, remedy, or claim scope
Response evidencePinpoint, quote, corrected sentence, or concession
ActionAccept / accept with revised wording / push back with alternative / revise claim
Follow-upCite-check, cross-reference update, or Part-map update needed

The default is to accept clarity edits. Push back only when the edit changes the law, removes a necessary limitation, or breaks the claim's logic. When pushing back, propose replacement language in the same message so the editor has a clean path forward.

The YLJ Forum path

  • The Forum is YLJ's online companion (the Journal was the first leading law review to launch one; relaunched as the Forum in 2014) for short, timely pieces and responses to print articles (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准).
  • Encouraged length < 10,000 words incl. footnotes (~20 pages); turnaround is faster than print.
  • A Forum response still needs a real claim, full Bluebook footnotes, and source-pull — "online" does not mean "informal."
  • If your idea is timely (a new opinion, a live debate) or directly answers a recent YLJ article, consider the Forum over print.

Checklist

  • Each round's edits absorbed without breaking the argument's spine
  • Every author query answered with a pinpoint/quote/correction, not assertion
  • Any clarity edit that misstates the law flagged and corrected
  • Change log kept; argument coherent end-to-end
  • (Forum) claim + full apparatus present despite the faster cycle

Anti-patterns

  • Treating substantive editor queries as adversarial rather than as free review
  • Accepting a smooth line edit that quietly misdescribes a holding
  • Answering source-pull queries with "it's in there somewhere" instead of a pinpoint
  • Assuming a Forum piece can skip Bluebook rigor because it's online
  • Letting accumulated edits drift the argument off its original claim

Output format

【Stage】substantive / source-pull / line edit / proof / Forum
【Queries open】count + the hard ones
【Query ledger】high-risk edits classified and answered with evidence? Y/N
【Law-integrity risk】any edit that misstates a holding? flagged? Y/N
【Argument coherence】spine intact after edits? Y/N
【Next】ylj-footnotes-and-cite-check for the final cite verification
