# Annals of Mathematics (annals-of-mathematics) ## Journal positioning Annals of Mathematics, published by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study, is widely regarded as the most prestigious journal in pure mathematics. It publishes only results that are genuinely exceptional in significance and depth — theorems that solve long-standing open problems, introduce fundamentally new methods that reshape a field, or deliver a result whose importance extends well beyond its immediate area. The bar for acceptance is correspondingly severe: excellent mathematics that is merely interesting or technically difficult is not sufficient. Refereeing is slow and exacting; a paper may be under review for one to two years or longer. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Annals of Mathematics site (annals.math.princeton.edu) and confirm submission procedures. ## When to trigger - The author is considering submitting to Annals of Mathematics and wants to assess significance and fit. - A paper resolves a major open problem or

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill annals-of-mathematics --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
