What it does

Ahr Review Process is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to understand how The American Historical Review (AHR) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind anonymous review by at least six scholars, a six-to-eight-month timeline, an 8-10% acceptance rate, and the large commissioned book/media review section. Sets expectations and shapes the article to survive review; it does not contact editors.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 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: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Understand how The American Historical Review (AHR) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind anonymous review by at least six scholars
  • A six-to-eight-month timeline
  • An 8-10% acceptance rate
  • The large commissioned book/media review section

Example prompts

  • “/ahr-review-process”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Anonymous review. The manuscript is masked; reviewers do not know the author. Prepare
  2. Editorial screening, then external review. A portion of submissions advance to full external
  3. At least six readers. "Every article published in the AHR has been reviewed by at least six
  4. Timeline. The editors aim to decide within six to eight months of submission.
  5. Acceptance rate. Roughly 8–10% of about 360 submissions per year. Most strong papers are
  6. Exclusivity. No concurrent submission elsewhere, and nothing already published or in press.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

Ahr Review Process loads about 936 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~936

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 390 words (~936 tokens).

“Knowing how the AHR screens and decides lets you pre-empt failure modes before submitting. The AHR is anonymous (double-blind), reviews intensively, and accepts only a small fraction of submissions, so the article must be significant, well-argued, and source-criticized before it…”
