jacs-supplementary
Use when assembling the Supporting Information for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript — complete procedures, full compound characterization, copies of key spectra, and crystallographic CIFs/CCDC numbers. Builds and audits the SI — it does not decide which experiments to run.

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.
# Supporting Information (jacs-supplementary) ## When to trigger - The main text is set and the SI must be assembled - A reviewer could ask "where is the procedure / spectrum / CIF?" - You are unsure what belongs in the SI vs the main text - Crystal structures need depositing before submission ## What the SI must contain The SI is where JACS rigor is verified. It should let an independent chemist **reproduce every result and confirm every structure**. ### General experimental - [ ] Materials and sources; drying/purification of solvents and reagents - [ ] Inert-atmosphere / glovebox conditions where relevant - [ ] Instruments and conditions (NMR field/solvent reference, HRMS mode, IR mode, diffractometer, etc.) - [ ] Safety/hazard notes for dangerous reagents or procedures ### Per-compound (for every new compound) - [ ] **Full procedure** — scale, equivalents, temperature, time, workup, purification; isolated yield - [ ] **Characterization block** — ¹H, ¹³C{¹H} (+ heteronuclear as needed), HRMS (calcd/found), IR, mp/[α]D/UV-vis as appropriate - [ ] **Purity** — EA (calcd vs found) or HPLC/GC trace - [ ] **Stereochemistry** — chiral HPLC/GC/SFC traces (racemate + sample), dr determin

What does the jacs-supplementary skill do?
Use when assembling the Supporting Information for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript — complete procedures, full compound characterization, copies of key spectra, and crystallographic CIFs/CCDC numbers. Builds and audits the SI — it does not decide which experiments to run.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jacs-supplementary --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.
