What does the sci-fit skill do?
Use before any writing to stress-test whether a result clears Science's (AAAS) desk-reject filter — broad significance and general interest across disciplines. Decides Science vs Science Advances vs a specialist journal before you invest in prose.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill sci-fit --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.
