What it does

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) manuscript via the Editorial Manager portal — the single-blind title page, the US$100 submission fee, Chicago author-date style, the replication-policy readiness, and disclosures. Final checks; it does not draft content.

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

8## When to trigger
9
10- "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on JLE's Editorial Manager site
11- Unsure which files, fee, and declarations the JLE submission expects
12- Confirming the single-blind front matter (title page with author names) is right — not anonymized
13- Confirming the paper is replication-policy-ready should it advance

15## Process facts (检索于 2026-06-22;以官网为准 — re-confirm on journals.uchicago.edu/journals/jle)
16
17- JLE is published by the **University of Chicago Press** in association with the University of Chicago Law School; it is the founding journal of law and economics (since 1958). Submission is through the **JLE Editorial Manager** site.
18- **Single-blind review:** authors' identities are visible to referees; referees are anonymous. **Do not anonymize the manuscript.** Include a **title page with each author's name and contact information.**
19- **Submission fee:** **US$100**, required for all manuscripts **beginning May 1, 2026**; **editorial review does not proceed until the fee is paid**; the fee is **non-refundable** (re-verified 2026-06-22, ≥2 sources; 以官网为准).
20- **Editors (re-verified 2026-06-22):** Elliott Ash, Matthew Backus, Dennis W. Carlton, Dhammika Dharmapala, Thomas J. Miles, Sam Peltzman (re-verify the masthead before submission).
21- **Citation style:** Chicago author-date (University of Chicago Press house style).
22- **Data & replication:** the JLE data policy requires data, programs, and computation details **available for replication before publication**; you need not deposit at submission, but the paper must be buildable into a replication package (jle-replication-package).
23- **Length / abstract limits, exact format specifics:** **待核实** — confirm current limits on the instructions-for-authors page before submitting.

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈90
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
2,185
on trigger
The instruction body and 2 supporting files, read only when the skill fires.
1.1%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 11% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

2.3k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Middling. Fine to keep on in a project where you use it weekly, worth unloading in one where you never do.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

3 files, 9.1 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md7.2 kB
  • templates/checklist.md0.9 kB
  • templates/manuscript_template.md1.0 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 3 files you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Submission Preflight (jle-submission) · 2.3k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/submission-preflight-jle-submission" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission ] || { mv .claude/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/submission-preflight-jle-submission" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission"

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/submission-preflight-jle-submission" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/submission-preflight-jle-submission" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/submission-preflight-jle-submission/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where. It appears as jle-submission in Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot and Grok (its own name); Claude Code lists it by the folder name, submission-preflight-jle-submission.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
