rt-ladder-ev

95 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

By brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (GitHub) · research · 1,416 stars · scanned at commit 932eb23

Use when choosing between submission sequences rather than between single venues — "should I try the top journal first, or start one rung down?", or when a tenure/job-market clock makes time-to-print the binding constraint. Costs a resubmission ladder in months and in probability of ever placing, using each venue's own turnaround and desk-reject figures. Follows rt-journal-match, which produces the ladder this one prices.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'rt-ladder-ev' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'rt-ladder-ev' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named rt-ladder-ev already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '932eb23331721b16e967c59f093781be1928b498' -- 'Research-Toolkit-Skills/skills/rt-ladder-ev' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'Research-Toolkit-Skills/skills/rt-ladder-ev' ~/.agents/skills/'rt-ladder-ev' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'rt-ladder-ev' ~/.claude/skills/'rt-ladder-ev' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
