What it does

Ajps Review Process is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to understand how the American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind peer review, desk screening, decision categories, the methodology-only Research Note and Correspondence routes, and the third-party verification that follows acceptance. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 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 Peer review. 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 Journal of Political Science (AJPS) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind peer review
  • Decision categories
  • The methodology-only Research Note and Correspondence routes
  • The third-party verification that follows acceptance

Example prompts

  • “/ajps-review-process”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Double-blind. Reviewers do not know the authors and authors do not know reviewers. Anonymize
  2. Editorial screening. The editorial team screens for fit, contribution, and methods before
  3. External review. Papers passing the screen go to expert reviewers who weigh identification,
  4. Decision (typical): reject, revise and resubmit (R&R), or accept. Most accepted
  5. Then verification. After acceptance, replication materials are deposited and **re-run by an

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

Ajps Review Process loads about 947 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 360 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~947

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 360 words (~947 tokens).

“Knowing how AJPS screens, decides, and then verifies lets you pre-empt failure modes before submitting. AJPS is double-blind, published by Wiley for the MPSA, and pairs ordinary peer review with a post-acceptance third-party verification step that no in-house-only journal has…”
