Research & Search
Research agent skills teach AI agents to gather and synthesize information properly: literature reviews, competitive analysis, web research with citations, and structured summaries. Each SKILL.md encodes a method, not just a prompt, so results stay consistent across runs.
-
thedixitjain Skill Est WorkflowUse as the entry point for any Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) manuscript. Routes to the right ES&T sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which article type (Research Article, Critical Review, Feature, Perspective, Policy Analysis, or the rapid companion ES&T Letters) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill EurographicsUse when targeting Eurographics Annual Conference (Eurographics) or deciding whether a computer-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes conference fit, framing, evidence bar, submission-cycle checks, rebuttal posture, and desk-reject risks for computer graphics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Fcr WorkflowUse as the entry point for any Field Crops Research (FCR) manuscript. Routes to the right FCR sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which article type (Original Research Paper, Review, Short Communication, Opinion, Loomis Review) fits. It checks scope-fit first — FCR rejects controlled-environment-only and single-site single-season work — then dispatches; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Fp PragmaticA practical, jargon-free guide to functional programming - the 80/20 approach that gets results without the academic overhead
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Fse WorkflowUse when planning an ESEC/FSE project timeline from venue fit through paper registration, submission, the journal-style Major Revision round, artifact evaluation, PACMSE camera-ready, and presentation, with backward-planning offsets for an empirical-SE paper and honest handling of the single-annual-deadline cycle and cycle-hopping.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Gec WorkflowUse as the entry point for any Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript. Routes to the right GEC sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the paper fits a Research Article or a shorter format. GEC is interdisciplinary and social-science-leading; the router's first job is to make sure the human and policy dimensions are front and centre. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Hrm RebuttalUse when drafting the revision and response letter after a Human Resource Management (Wiley "HRM") revise-and-resubmit — structuring point-by-point responses to the action editor and reviewers across the journal's developmental, multi-round, double-blind process. Drafts the response after revisions; it does not interpret the decision letter (hrm-review-process).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Ieee InfocomUse when targeting IEEE INFOCOM (INFOCOM) or deciding whether a computer-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes conference fit, framing, evidence bar, submission-cycle checks, rebuttal posture, and desk-reject risks for networking.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Isr RebuttalUse when planning and drafting the response to an Information Systems Research (ISR) revise-and-resubmit — prioritizing the Senior Editor's binding concerns, addressing genre-specific reviewer asks (assumptions/proofs, identification/validity, evaluation), updating the contribution statement, and using the electronic companion. Drafts the revision and response; it runs after isr-review-process.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Isr WorkflowUse when deciding which isr-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills. Knows ISR's sociotechnical, intradisciplinary mission and its co-equal behavioral and analytical genres.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jacs FiguresUse when building schemes, spectra, structures, and reaction/mechanism figures in ACS style for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. Designs and audits graphics — it does not generate the underlying data.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jacs MethodsUse when checking synthesis and characterization rigor for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript — purity, NMR/HRMS/IR/UV-vis, elemental analysis or HPLC, single-crystal X-ray/CCDC, and catalysis controls/mechanism/kinetics. Audits experimental rigor — it does not write narrative or polish prose.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jais MethodsUse when choosing and defending the research design for a Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) manuscript — a behavioral survey/experiment, an economics-of-IS identification strategy, a design-science build-and-evaluate cycle, a qualitative/interpretive study, or a review method. Matches method to the IS claim under JAIS's methodological pluralism; it designs the study and hands estimation/evaluation to jais-data-analysis.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jama SurgeryUse when targeting JAMA Surgery or deciding whether a surgical-outcomes or surgical-trial study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the surgical-trial and perioperative evidence bar, surgical-reporting challenges, reporting-guideline and trial-registration requirements, JAMA Network house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jar RebuttalUse after a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) revise-and-resubmit to plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — prioritizing the Senior Editor's first-order concerns (identification, the channel, measurement) and updating the required data-and-code package. Plans and drafts the response; it does not run the new analyses from scratch (jar-data-analysis) or re-run the submission preflight (jar-submission).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jar WorkflowUse when deciding which jar-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jcp RebuttalUse when drafting the response letter and revision for a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) R&R — turning reviewer process concerns into new studies, writing the point-by-point response, and showing the mechanism is now nailed.

Drafts the response after the revision is real; it does not interpret the decision (jcr-review-process).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jcr WorkflowUse when deciding which jcr-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Consumer Research (JCR) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

thedixitjain Skill Jet RebuttalUse when building the response letter for a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) revise-and-resubmit — address each single-anonymized referee's correctness, generality, and exposition points, supply corrected or strengthened proofs or counterexamples, and show exactly where the .tex was changed. For R&Rs; it does not invent referee taste.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jet WorkflowUse when routing a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) manuscript — decides which jet- sub-skill to invoke next across the theorem-proof lifecycle, from theory-first scope check through Editorial Manager submission and single-anonymized R&R. Use first when unsure where to start.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jfr RebuttalUse to draft the response letter for a 《金融研究》 (Journal of Financial Research) revise-and-resubmit — organizing point-by-point replies to reviewers, prioritizing identification and financial-mechanism concerns, and recording exactly where the manuscript changed. Run only after the manuscript itself has been revised.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jhe RebuttalUse when a Journal of Health Economics (JHE) decision letter arrives (R&R or reject-and-resubmit) and a response-to-referees letter plus revision plan must be drafted. Plans and structures the response; it does not run the new analysis (jhe-identification / jhe-robustness) or the submission preflight.

Plans and structures the response; it does not run the new analysis (jle-identification / jle-robustness) or the submission preflight (jle-submission).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jle WorkflowUse when deciding which jle-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jme RebuttalUse after a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) revise-and-resubmit to plan the response letter and revision — given JME's distinctive "up or out" rule (the resubmission ends in acceptance or rejection, no second R&R) and the ~50% publication-likelihood signal an R&R carries.
2 -
