hlr-revision-and-editing
Use when working through the Harvard Law Review (HLR) post-acceptance editing cycle — successive substantive and technical edit rounds, responding to editor markups, and page proofs to publication. Drives the edit cycle to completion; it does not manage the offer/expedite phase (hlr-placement-strategy) or the first editor handshake (hlr-student-editor-review).

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.
# Revision and Editing (hlr-revision-and-editing) After acceptance, an HLR piece goes through an **intensive, multi-round editing cycle** run by student editors — heavier and more iterative than at most journals. There is no single "R&R letter" as in peer review; instead there are successive passes (substantive, technical/line, Bluebook, proofs), each with deadlines. This skill keeps the cycle moving, protects the argument across rounds, and lands the piece in print without late surprises. ## When to trigger - The substantive edit is underway and rounds are stacking up - You receive markups, queries, or new source-pull requests between rounds - You disagree with a proposed change and must respond across a round - Page proofs arrive and need a careful final pass ## The edit cycle (round by round) | Round | Focus | Author's job | |-------|-------|--------------| | Substantive round(s) | Strengthen the argument; close gaps editors flagged | Revise on the merits; defend with reasons where warranted | | Technical / line round | Prose, clarity, house style | Approve or push back on specific edits, not en masse | | Bluebook / cite round | Every footnote conformed and verified | Supply pin

What does the hlr-revision-and-editing skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill hlr-revision-and-editing --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.
