Use when targeting Physical Review D (PRD) or deciding whether a particles, fields, gravitation, or cosmology manuscript fits this APS archival venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Physical Review D (physical-review-d) ## Journal positioning Physical Review D is the APS archival journal of record for high-energy physics, particle astrophysics, gravitation, and cosmology. It covers the theoretical and experimental physics of particles and fields, general relativity, gravitational waves, dark matter and dark energy, early-universe cosmology, astroparticle physics, and the computational/lattice methods serving these communities. PRD is a high-volume, rigorous, archival venue — the physics record for the field rather than a selective highlights journal. A paper does not need to be immediately broadly significant to appear in PRD; it must be correct, complete, and a substantive contribution within its subfield. The peer community of particle physicists, relativists, and cosmologists are the primary readers and referees. 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 APS site and the Physical Review D submission system. ## When to trigger - The author is targeting PRD for a high-energy physics, gravitation, or cos

What does the physical-review-d skill do?
Use when targeting Physical Review D (PRD) or deciding whether a particles, fields, gravitation, or cosmology manuscript fits this APS archival 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 physical-review-d --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.
