Journal Of The American Chemical Society Skills

Agent skill stack for submitting to the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), a premier broad-scope chemistry journal published by the American Chemical Society. Covers scope fit, framing the chemical advance, synthesis and full characterization rigor (NMR, HRMS, IR/UV-vis, X-ray/CCDC, catalysis controls and mechanism), ACS-style schemes and figures, the Supporting Information, ACS hous

Install

npx skillmds@latest add plugin:brycewang-stanford/journal-of-the-american-chemical-society-skills

One command, no setup. In Claude Code it lands as a managed plugin you can enable, disable or remove with /plugin. On any other agent it installs the 12 skills into that agent's own folder.

Or inside Claude Code

In the Plugins tab, add this marketplace:

skillmds/skillmd
/plugin install brycewang-stanford-journal-of-the-american-chemical-society-skills@skillmd

Adds the marketplace once; later plugins need the second line only.

Or install by hand

Download the plugin and unzip its skills/ folder into your agent's skills directory. Works with every agent, no CLI needed.

Skills in this plugin

▌
Jacs Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use 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.

1k repo stars
▌
Jacs Methods · brycewang-stanford
Use 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.

▌
Jacs Revision · brycewang-stanford
Use when a decision letter/referee reports arrive for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript, to plan experiments and draft the point-by-point response. Structures the revision and rebuttal — it does not fabricate data or guarantee acceptance.

▌
Jacs Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding which jacs-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript from scope check through revision. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

▌
Jacs Scope Fit · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding whether a chemistry result belongs in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) versus a specialized ACS journal, and which JACS format fits. Judges fit and venue — it does not improve the chemistry itself.

▌
Jacs Submission · brycewang-stanford bundle
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript via ACS Paragon Plus — files, TOC graphic, SI, CIFs/CCDC, disclosures, and format. Runs the submission checklist — it does not improve the science or prose.

▌
Jacs Cover Letter · brycewang-stanford
Use when drafting the cover letter to the editor for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript — stating the advance, broad interest, and fit. Drafts the editor-facing pitch — it does not assess the underlying chemistry.

▌
Jacs Supplementary · brycewang-stanford
Use when assembling the Supporting Information for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript — complete procedures, full compound characterization, copies of key spectra, and crystallographic CIFs/CCDC numbers. Builds and audits the SI — it does not decide which experiments to run.

1k repo stars
▌
Jacs Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when polishing prose to ACS house style and claim discipline for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. Edits language, structure, and nomenclature — it does not add data or design figures.

▌
Jacs Results Framing · brycewang-stanford
Use when the chemical advance and its significance are not yet sharp for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. Shapes the narrative and claims — it does not generate new data or fix characterization gaps.

1k repo stars
▌
Jacs Referee Strategy · brycewang-stanford
Use when suggesting/excluding reviewers and pre-empting likely referee objections for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. Plans the review-facing strategy — it does not run experiments or write the paper.

1k repo stars
▌
Jacs Length Management · brycewang-stanford
Use when choosing between an Article and a Communication and meeting ACS format norms for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. Decides format and trims to fit — it does not add new results.
