What it does

Jacs Scope Fit is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when deciding whether a chemistry result belongs in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) versus a specialized ACS journal, and which JACS format fits. Judges fit and venue — it does not improve the chemistry itself.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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

  • Deciding whether a chemistry result belongs in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) versus a specialized ACS journal
  • Which JACS format fits

Example prompts

  • “/jacs-scope-fit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Advance test — Is the result genuinely new and important, not incremental?
  2. Breadth test — Will chemists outside your immediate subfield care?

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 Scope Fit loads about 958 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 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
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~958

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 (~958 tokens).

“JACS publishes a significant chemical advance of broad interest across chemistry, fully supported by data. Two tests must both pass:”
