What it does

Apsr Review Process is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to understand how the American Political Science Review (APSR) evaluates a manuscript — double-anonymous review, desk-rejection screening (remit / ethics / substance), the reject / accept / revise-and-resubmit decision categories, editor discretion, and the Registered Reports route. Sets expectations and shapes the paper 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 Political Science Review (APSR) evaluates a manuscript — double-anonymous review
  • Desk-rejection screening (remit / ethics / substance)
  • The reject / accept / revise-and-resubmit decision categories
  • Editor discretion

Example prompts

  • “/apsr-review-process”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Double-anonymous. Reviewers do not know the authors and authors do not know reviewers.
  2. Desk screening first. Every paper is considered for desk rejection on three grounds
  3. External review. Papers passing the desk are sent to expert reviewers.
  4. Decision categories: reject, accept, or revise and resubmit — where **R&R is
  5. Review transfer. Anonymized manuscripts/reviews may be forwarded only to journals that also use

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

Apsr Review Process loads about 936 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 367 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
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 367 words (~936 tokens).

“Knowing how APSR screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. APSR is double-anonymous and screens hard at the desk before external review.”
