cell-metabolism
Use when targeting Cell Metabolism or deciding whether a metabolism/physiology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Cell Metabolism (cell-metabolism) ## Journal positioning Cell Metabolism is Cell Press's flagship metabolism and physiology journal, publishing mechanistic studies of how organisms sense, process, and adapt to nutrients, energy, and metabolic stress — with emphasis on in vivo physiology and disease relevance. The core territory is metabolic disease (obesity, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD/NASH, cardiovascular-metabolic risk), mitochondrial biology, aging and longevity, and the metabolic underpinning of organ crosstalk. The readership spans metabolic biologists, physiologists, endocrinologists, and disease-oriented researchers; papers must deliver a mechanistic advance with in vivo grounding, not just a cell-culture phenotype. 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 Cell Press site or submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names Cell Metabolism as the target venue. - A metabolism/physiology study is deciding between Cell Metabolism and Nature Metabolism, Cell, or a society metabolism journal. - An in vivo metabolic study

What does the cell-metabolism skill do?
Use when targeting Cell Metabolism or deciding whether a metabolism/physiology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill cell-metabolism --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.
