What it does
Jacs Cover Letter is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when drafting the cover letter to the editor for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript — stating the advance, broad interest, and fit. Drafts the editor-facing pitch — it does not assess the underlying chemistry.
Its SKILL.md is about 840 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Resume and CV writing. 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
- Drafting the cover letter to the editor for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript — stating the advance
- Tasks that involve Resume and CV writing
Example prompts
- “/jacs-cover-letter”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Submission line — manuscript type (Article/Communication), title, intended for JACS.
- The advance in one or two sentences — what is new, stated for a general chemistry readership.
- Why JACS (broad interest) — the breadth driver (generality / concept / enabling utility) and who beyond your subfield will care.
- Key evidence — one line on the decisive support (e.g., scope + X-ray + kinetics), signaling rigor.
- Integrity statements — original, not under consideration elsewhere; any prior preprint/related submission disclosed; conflicts and funding…
- Optional — suggested reviewers and any justified exclusions (see jacs-referee-strategy).
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
Jacs Cover Letter loads about 841 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 346 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 346 words (~841 tokens).
“The handling editor triages on broad interest and fit before sending to review. The cover letter is your one paragraph to make that case clearly — it complements, never repeats, the abstract.”
