Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Global Change Biology (GCB) via ScholarOne / Manuscript Central — article-type selection, word/abstract caps, graphical abstract, data availability statement, and required files. Final checks; it does not draft content.

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.
# Submission Preflight (gcb-submission) The last check before pressing submit on **ScholarOne / Manuscript Central** (`mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gcb`). GCB desk-rejects heavily, so the preflight is about removing avoidable reasons to bounce: wrong scope framing, missing graphical abstract, over-length text, or a non-compliant data statement. Verify volatile specifics on the official page before relying on them. ## When to trigger - "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload - Unsure which files/metadata ScholarOne expects - Confirming the chosen article type's caps and required elements are met ## Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page) - **Publisher:** Wiley. - **Portal:** **ScholarOne / Manuscript Central** (`mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gcb`). - **Article types:** Research Articles, Technical Advances, Reviews, GCB Reviews, Mini Reviews, Opinions, and Perspectives; GCB Reviews should be treated as commissioned unless the live guidance states otherwise. - **Length:** Research Articles currently route to an **up to 8,000-word** cap; confirm what the cap includes on the live page. - **Abstract:** **300-word limit**; **6–10 keywords or phrases**. - **Graphical abs

What does the gcb-submission skill do?
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Global Change Biology (GCB) via ScholarOne / Manuscript Central — article-type selection, word/abstract caps, graphical abstract, data availability statement, and required files. Final checks; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill gcb-submission --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.
