What it does

Ylj Student Editor Review is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when working with The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) student editors during evaluation and acceptance — the Articles & Essays Committee read, the Notes Development process for student authors, and the source-pull. It explains how the student-edited model works; it does not run the intensive line-edit cycle (ylj-revision-and-editing).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Education, covering Essays and academic help. 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 with The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) student editors during evaluation and acceptance — the Articles & Essays Committee read
  • The Notes Development process for student authors
  • The source-pull

Example prompts

  • “/ylj-student-editor-review”

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 Student Editor Review loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 585 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 with The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) student editors during evaluation and acceptance — the Articles & Essays Committee read, the Notes Development process for student authors, and the source-pull. It explains how the student-edited model works; it does not run the intensive line-edit cycle (ylj-revision-and-editing).

Student-Editor Review (ylj-student-editor-review)

YLJ is edited entirely by Yale Law students and is not peer-reviewed. The people deciding and editing your piece are law students — exceptionally able, reading anonymized, and backed by a rigorous process. Understanding how they read and verify changes how you prepare. This skill covers evaluation, acceptance, and the source-pull; the multi-round line editing afterward is ylj-revision-and-editing.

When to trigger

  • You want to understand who evaluates the piece and on what criteria
  • You are a Yale Law student starting a Note or Comment (Notes Development process)
  • An offer arrived and the source-pull / verification is beginning
  • You're unsure why a student-edited review differs from peer review

How the read works (Articles & Essays)

  • Anonymized. The Articles & Essays Committee evaluates without the author's name, affiliation, or publication history. The manuscript must persuade on its own; reputation is invisible.
  • A finished piece is judged. There is no "revise then we'll consider" peer round — the Committee decides on the submitted, near-final manuscript. A rough draft is read as a rough draft.
  • What persuades student editors: a crisp, generalist claim (ylj-thesis-and-contribution); demonstrated novelty (ylj-preemption-check); a clean, complete footnote apparatus they can verify; and prose that reads (ylj-writing-style).

The student-author path (Notes & Comments)

  • Notes (substantial student scholarship, first-time cap ~20,000 words incl. footnotes) and Comments (shorter, first-time cap ~7,000 words) are written by Yale Law students, often with Notes Development Editors who help shape the thesis and structure (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准).
  • Notes/Comments are also reviewed anonymously; identity is revealed to the Committee only after acceptance.
  • If you are a Yale Law student, engage Notes Development early — the thesis-shaping help is part of the model, not a sign of weakness.

The source-pull (what makes student editing distinctive)

After acceptance, student editors pull every source behind every footnote and verify that each cite (a) exists, (b) is in correct Bluebook form, and (c) actually supports the sentence. This is labor your prose either survives or fights:

  • A cite that doesn't support its sentence becomes an author query you must resolve.
  • A missing pinpoint becomes a request to supply the exact page.
  • An un-marked paraphrase that tracks the source becomes an integrity flag.

Prepare for source-pull by finishing ylj-sources-and-bluebook before submission, not after.

Editor-read packet

For a final self-audit, assemble the same packet a skeptical student editor would need to say "yes" without knowing who wrote the piece:

  • Anonymous claim map: thesis, contribution type, and the one sentence a generalist should remember.
  • Preemption ledger: closest near-miss and why it does not make the claim old.
  • Part map: each Part's claim and the objection it answers.
  • Source-pull risk register: the 10 most load-bearing citations, each with pinpoint and support note.
  • Identity sweep: text, acknowledgments, self-citations, document properties, comments, and file name.

If any item is missing, route backward before submission: thesis gaps to ylj-thesis-and-contribution, novelty gaps to ylj-preemption-check, and source gaps to ylj-footnotes-and-cite-check.

Checklist

  • Manuscript persuades anonymously (no reliance on author reputation)
  • Submitted as near-final, not a draft to be co-developed
  • (Students) Notes Development engaged early for a Note/Comment
  • Footnote apparatus complete and source-pull-ready before submission
  • Every cite verifiably supports its sentence (spot-checked the hard ones)

Anti-patterns

  • Expecting peer-review-style developmental rounds before a decision (YLJ decides on the finished piece)
  • Name-dropping or signaling prestige in an anonymized manuscript
  • Submitting with an incomplete apparatus, planning to "finish cites if accepted"
  • (Students) treating Notes Development help as optional or remedial
  • Sloppy paraphrase that will trip the source-pull integrity check

Output format

【Track】Article/Essay (anonymized read) or Note/Comment (student, Notes Development)
【Anonymized-ready】no reputation cues? Y/N
【Editor-read packet】claim map + preemption ledger + Part map + source-risk register complete? Y/N
【Source-pull-ready】apparatus complete + cites support sentences? Y/N
【Open queries】likely author queries to pre-empt
【Next】ylj-submission (if pre-offer) or ylj-revision-and-editing (if accepted)
