Research Toolkit Skills

Cross-journal author workflow toolkit (9 skills): pick the venue (journal-match over a generated index of 743 venues with a resubmission-ladder graph), reframe a manuscript from one venue to another, run the analysis through the StatsPAI / Stata MCP execution bridge, self-check submission readiness, score desk-reject risk against the target's own documented triggers, rehearse a calibrated referee

Skills in this plugin

▌
Rt Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use to sequence a manuscript across venues — which cross-journal toolkit skill to invoke next, from picking a target journal through execution, submission-readiness, simulated review, rebuttal, and the replication package. Routes; it does not replace the per-journal depth packs or the specialized toolkit skills.

Rt Ladder Ev · brycewang-stanford
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.

▌
Rt Journal Match · brycewang-stanford
Use when an author asks "which journal should I send this to?" or needs the best resubmission target after a reject. Profiles the paper, shortlists candidates from an index of 743 venues with tools/match_venues.py, and ranks them into reach / match / safe with a resubmission ladder. Reads live venue facts from each pack's source-map; defers fit judgment to the venue's own topic-selection skill.

▌
Rt Venue Reframe · brycewang-stanford
Use after a rejection, or when switching target journals, to turn a manuscript framed for one venue into one framed for another. Produces a concrete reframing diff — introduction arc, contribution claim, evidence to add or cut, house style, format — by reading both venues' own packs. Complements rt-journal-match, which picks the venue; this one does the rewrite plan.

▌
Rt Venue Integrity · brycewang-stanford
Use before submitting to a venue this repository does not cover, one that arrived by email solicitation, or one whose indexing status matters for a tenure or degree requirement. Runs a source-by-source verification protocol — indexing, publisher, editorial board, fees, retraction history — and reports what each primary source says. It never labels a journal; it reports checks.

▌
Rt Desk Reject Risk · brycewang-stanford
Use before submitting to score a manuscript against a specific venue's own desk-reject triggers and return a ranked, fixable risk report. Venue-conditional — it reads the target's documented triggers rather than applying generic advice. Run it after rt-submission-readiness clears the mechanical bar and before the paper is uploaded.

▌
Rt Execution Bridge · brycewang-stanford
Use when an empirical analysis should be RUN and audited, not just advised — DiD, IV, RDD, synthetic control, DML, multiple-testing, sensitivity. Maps the design to the concrete StatsPAI / Stata MCP tools in this environment and reports the fitted, audited number. Defers result placement and house style to the target journal's pack.

▌
Rt Simulated Referee · brycewang-stanford
Use to rehearse peer review before submitting — a calibrated Associate Editor desk-screen plus 2–3 distinct-lens referees for the target venue, adversarially verified and synthesized into a referee report, a decision band, and a prioritized, skill-mapped fix list. A rehearsal that predicts the attack surface; it does not replace real review.

▌
Rt Replication Package · brycewang-stanford
Use before final submission or on acceptance to assemble and validate the Data-Editor replication package against the target venue's data-and-code policy — master script, pinned environment, README/roadmap, restricted-data plan, and a script-to-exhibit output map, with a checklist that catches the numbers a Data Editor would fail to reproduce. Reads the venue policy live from the pack's source-map.

▌
Rt Response To Referees · brycewang-stanford
Use after an R&R (or the simulated rehearsal) to turn a referee report into a point-by-point response letter plus a revision plan — editor first, every comment answered, each empirical fix backed by a real re-run via the target pack's skill and the execution bridge. Defers the venue's response format to the pack + source-map.
