Use when targeting Science Signaling (Sci. Signal.) or deciding whether a cell-signaling, systems-biology, or signaling-pharmacology manuscript fits this AAAS venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Science Signaling (science-signaling) ## Journal positioning Science Signaling, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), is a leading journal dedicated to cellular signal transduction and its regulation in health and disease. Its defining character is mechanistic depth in signaling: it publishes primary research and reviews that elucidate how cells sense, transmit, integrate, and respond to information — receptor biology, kinase and phosphatase networks, second messengers, signaling crosstalk, and the systems-level behavior of signaling pathways. The journal rewards work that defines a new signaling mechanism, maps the dynamics or logic of a network, or connects signaling biology to physiology, disease, or pharmacology. Readership spans cell and molecular biologists, systems biologists, and pharmacologists. It is part of the Science family and carries that expectation of significance and rigor. 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 Science Signaling (AAAS) site. ## When to trigger - The

What does the science-signaling skill do?
Use when targeting Science Signaling (Sci. Signal.) or deciding whether a cell-signaling, systems-biology, or signaling-pharmacology manuscript fits this AAAS 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 science-signaling --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.
