Use when targeting Critical Care Medicine or deciding whether an intensive/critical-care study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's ICU-focused fit, the clinical-evidence and translational bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, SCCM house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.

# Critical Care Medicine (critical-care-medicine) ## Journal positioning Critical Care Medicine is the flagship journal of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), publishing clinical and translational research centered on the **care of the critically ill across the whole ICU** — sepsis, ARDS, resuscitation, shock, multiorgan failure and organ support, and the systems and processes of critical-care delivery. Its defining expectation is a **clinically important advance in intensive-care management or critical-illness mechanism that informs how clinicians care for ICU patients**, not a narrow single-center series with no outcome relevance or a basic experiment without critical-illness anchoring. Unlike the broader pulmonary/critical-care flagship, Critical Care Medicine is ICU-discipline-focused and spans the whole critically ill patient, not just the lung. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live Critical Care Medicine author instructions. ## When to trigger - The author names Critical Care Medicine for an ICU, seps

Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill critical-care-medicine --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 984 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.
