What it does

Ajs Review Process is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to understand how the American Journal of Sociology (AJS) evaluates a manuscript — its distinctive student-run, double-blind review out of the University of Chicago Department of Sociology, the "preject" screen, reviewer assignment by a Manuscript Assignment Board, and decision categories. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Journal of Sociology (AJS) evaluates a manuscript — its distinctive student-run
  • Double-blind review out of the University of Chicago Department of Sociology
  • The preject screen
  • Reviewer assignment by a Manuscript Assignment Board

Example prompts

  • “preject”
  • “/ajs-review-process”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Double-blind. Identities are hidden from both authors and referees; prepare an anonymized
  2. Three levels of editorship. The **editorial board is the entire faculty of the UChicago
  3. Student-run assignment. On first submission, a Manuscript Assignment Board (Assistant
  4. The "preject." AJS declines without review papers that are **not in dialogue with current
  5. Decisions. Reject, revise and resubmit, or (rarely on first round) accept. R&R is the normal

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

Ajs Review Process loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 426 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 426 words (~1,069 tokens).

“AJS's review process is unusual and worth understanding before submitting. It is double-blind, run out of the University of Chicago Department of Sociology, with graduate students doing reviewer assignment and a "preject" screen for papers not in dialogue with current…”
