Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Prepare Journal Manuscripts Carry one evidence-linked article through the journal lifecycle. Resolve the exact journal, article type, stage, and authority; freeze the scientific contract; choose one mode; and reconcile every editor-facing and reviewer-facing artifact before delivery. ## Select one mode | Mode | Responsibility | Read first | |---|---|---| | `recon` | Refresh journal, article-type, policy, format, reporting, data, code, image, and disclosure requirements | `references/journal-lifecycle.md` | | `draft` | Draft sections from an author-approved outline and locked scientific contract | `references/drafting-and-polish.md` | | `audit` | Challenge claims, reporting, novelty, policy compliance, and cross-artifact consistency without editing | `references/adversarial-audit.md` | | `polish` | Make targeted evidence-preserving edits and repair narrative structure | `references/drafting-and-polish.md` | | `editor-pack` | Assemble title page, manuscript, figures, declarations, checklists, and editor-facing metadata | `references/editor-pack-and-cover-letter.md` | …

How to install
mdr add gxcaesar/open-research-skills/prepare-journal-manuscripts@sha256:6d74fa95689fa4cfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.8ef32d9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
