What it does
Ylj Sources And Bluebook is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building and formatting the citation apparatus for a The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) piece — pinpoint cites, Bluebook form, and source support for every assertion. It governs cite construction; the final editorial cite-check and source-pull is ylj-footnotes-and-cite-check.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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, covering Citation management. 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
Ylj Sources And Bluebook loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 520 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- ylj-sources-and-bluebook
- description
- Use when building and formatting the citation apparatus for a The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) piece — pinpoint cites, Bluebook form, and source support for every assertion. It governs cite construction; the final editorial cite-check and source-pull is ylj-footnotes-and-cite-check.
Sources & Bluebook (ylj-sources-and-bluebook)
Legal scholarship is carried in its footnotes, and YLJ formats them in Bluebook form (The
Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation), supplemented by the Journal's own citation requirements. Every
sentence that asserts law or fact carries a footnote with a pinpoint cite to authority that actually
supports it. This skill builds correct, supported cites as you draft; the line-by-line editorial verify
happens later in ylj-footnotes-and-cite-check.
When to trigger
- Drafting any sentence that states what the law is, what a court held, or a fact
- Unsure of Bluebook form for a case, statute, regulation, book, or article
- A footnote cites a source generally instead of to the exact page/section
- Preparing the manuscript so student editors can source-pull every footnote
Core rules YLJ editors enforce
- A cite for every proposition. Assertions of law and fact are footnoted; unsupported claims get flagged in source-pull.
- Pinpoint, always. Cite the exact page (
id. at 412), section (§ 1983), or paragraph — never just the first page of a long opinion when you rely on a holding deep inside it. - The source must actually say it. A cite that doesn't support the sentence is the single most common source-pull failure; quote or paraphrase only what the page contains.
- Bluebook form by source type (typeface, order of authorities, signals, short forms):
| Source | Skeleton (Bluebook) |
|---|---|
| Case | Name v. Name, Vol Reporter Page, pin (Court Year). |
| Statute | Title U.S.C. § X (Year). |
| Regulation | Vol C.F.R. § X (Year). |
| Book | Author, Title Page (ed. Year). |
| Law-review article | Author, Title, Vol Journal Page, pin (Year). |
| Short forms | id.; supra note N; hereinafter, used consistently. |
Signals and explanatory parentheticals
- Use introductory signals precisely —
See,See also,Cf.,But see,Contra,E.g.— each means a different relationship between the cite and the text; misuse signals to a reader (and a source-puller) that you misread the source. - Add explanatory parentheticals for any cite whose relevance isn't obvious from the text — they prove you read the source and save editors a step.
- Order string cites by the Bluebook hierarchy of authorities; don't list cases alphabetically.
Show full SKILL.md (181 more words)Show less
Quotations and paraphrase
- Verbatim language needs quotation marks and a pinpoint cite; paraphrase still needs a cite to the Bluebook + the Journal's requirements. Cleaning up another's words without quotation marks is a source-pull and integrity failure.
- For altered quotations use the Bluebook conventions (
[ ],. . .,(emphasis added)).
Checklist
- Every law/fact assertion has a footnote
- Every cite is pinpointed to the page/section relied on
- The cited source actually supports the proposition (spot-check the hardest ones)
- Bluebook form correct per source type; short forms (
id.,supra) consistent - Signals chosen deliberately; explanatory parentheticals where relevance isn't obvious
- Quotations marked and pinpointed; alterations flagged per Bluebook
Anti-patterns
- "String of see-cites" with no pinpoints — guarantees source-pull friction
- A cite to the first page of a 40-page opinion for a holding buried at page 38
- Wrong signal (
Seewhere the source directly states it, or vice versa) - Paraphrase that tracks the source's wording without quotation marks (integrity flag)
- Deferring all Bluebook formatting to "the editors will fix it" — they cite-check, they don't ghostwrite
