Skills in this plugin
12- ▌ Prl Figures · brycewang-stanfordUse when designing or auditing figures for a Physical Review Letters manuscript, where a few high-impact figures must carry the central result and count against the length limit. Designs figure strategy; does not run the analysis or write prose.
- ▌ Prl Methods · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding what methodological detail belongs in a Physical Review Letters body versus Supplemental Material, so a physicist can trust the result without the Letter becoming a long paper. Partitions methods; does not design figures or run analysis.
- ▌ Prl Revision · brycewang-stanfordUse when responding to Physical Review Letters referee reports or editor decisions — point-by-point reply, resubmission, and the APS appeal route. Structures the response and revision; does not redraft the science from scratch.
- ▌ Prl Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding which prl-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from scope-fit through revision for a Physical Review Letters (PRL) manuscript. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.
- ▌ Prl Scope Fit · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding whether a physics result clears Physical Review Letters' importance-and-broad-interest gate, or whether it belongs in Physical Review A–E / PR Research. Diagnoses venue fit; does not write or frame the result.
- ▌ Prl Submission · brycewang-stanford bundleUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Physical Review Letters manuscript — length check, format, files, Supplemental Material, classification, author info, and metadata. Verifies submission readiness; does not write content.
- ▌ Prl Cover Letter · brycewang-stanfordUse when writing the cover letter for a Physical Review Letters submission, which must justify to APS editors why the work meets PRL's importance-and-broad-interest criteria. Drafts the editorial case; does not edit the manuscript itself.
- ▌ Prl Supplementary · brycewang-stanfordUse when partitioning content between the Physical Review Letters body and its Supplemental Material, ensuring the Letter stands alone while derivations and extended data live in the SM. Organizes the SM; does not write the Letter body.
- ▌ Prl Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when polishing the prose of a Physical Review Letters manuscript for APS house style, concision, precise notation, and out-of-subfield readability. Polishes language; does not restructure the result or manage length budget.
- ▌ Prl Results Framing · brycewang-stanfordUse when a Physical Review Letters result is correct but its central claim and broad significance are not yet sharp. Structures the one-claim narrative; does not run analysis or design figures.
- ▌ Prl Referee Strategy · brycewang-stanfordUse when choosing suggested and opposed referees for a Physical Review Letters submission and pre-empting the objections APS referees are likely to raise. Plans referee handling; does not write the manuscript or the rebuttal.
- ▌ Prl Length Management · brycewang-stanfordUse when a Physical Review Letters manuscript exceeds the strict deductible length limit, where figures, equations, and references all count against the budget. Triages what to cut, compress, or move to Supplemental Material; does not rewrite content from scratch.
