What it does

Jaar Review Process is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to understand how the Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) evaluates a manuscript — editor pre-screening for broad significance, double-blind review, a roughly 90% rejection rate, a months-long timeline, and a commissioned-only book-review section. Sets expectations and shapes the article to survive; it does not contact editors.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) evaluates a manuscript — editor pre-screening for broad significance
  • Double-blind review
  • A roughly 90% rejection rate
  • A months-long timeline

Example prompts

  • “/jaar-review-process”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Editorial pre-screening (the first gate). The editorial office reads every submission and
  2. Double-blind (double-anonymous) review. Reviewers do not know authors and authors do not know
  3. Selectivity. ~90% rejection; roughly eight articles per issue / ~32 per year. Strong,
  4. Timeline. Plan for a months-long process — up to six months to a final decision (an average
  5. Decisions. Reject, revise and resubmit, or accept; expect substantive revision for promising work

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

Jaar Review Process loads about 853 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 341 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~853

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 341 words (~853 tokens).

“JAAR is highly selective (about 90% of submissions are rejected) and screens hard before peer review. Knowing the gates lets you avoid the common early deaths and set realistic expectations.”
