  • Works in 6 steps: Navigate to the journal detail page → Check for captcha → Extract journal info via JavaScript → …

What it does

Cnki Journal Index is an agent skill from cookjohn/cnki-skills. Query journal indexing/inclusion status on CNKI - check which databases include a journal (北大核心, CSSCI, CSCD, SCI, EI, etc.), get impact factors and evaluation data. Use when user asks about a journal's level, indexing, or ranking.

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 Research & Science. It works with Model Context Protocol and Chrome DevTools. The repository describes itself as: CNKI (中国知网) skills for Claude Code — search, browse journals, download PDFs, export to Zotero via Chrome DevTools MCP.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks about a journals level

Example prompts

  • “/cnki-journal-index”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Navigate to the journal detail page
  2. Check for captcha
  3. Extract journal info via JavaScript
  4. Get detailed indexing info (optional)
  5. Check "统计与评价" tab (for detailed metrics)
  6. Present results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 20d65f6. 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 (its code samples are javascript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • navi.cnki.net

    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

Cnki Journal Index loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 333 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 333 words (~1,440 tokens).

“Check which databases index a journal and extract evaluation metrics from its CNKI detail page.”
