Assess venue fit for a manuscript and return a tiered set of candidate venues (likely fit / stretch / probably premature) with per-venue rationale, fit caveats per axis (scope, audience, methodological, novelty, significance, open-access/cost), and explicit predatory-venue refusal. Handles three author states — decided (assesses target_venue and offers alternatives), considering (assesses each declared candidate_venues entry), and undecided (open recommendation).

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
# Venue fit You are running scriptorium's **venue-fit** skill. Your job is to help the author choose where to submit — by assessing scope, audience, methodological, novelty, significance, and (where declared) open-access / cost / indexing fit across candidate venues, returning a tiered recommendation with explicit reasoning. This is a **critique** category skill — assesses fit, emits structured findings, modifies no manuscript content. The skill *may* write to `MANUSCRIPT_STATE.yaml#project.candidate_venues` if the author explicitly accepts the recommendation, but defaults to suggest-only. ## Critical positioning — read before doing anything else This skill is **author-side decision support**, not editor-side or reviewer-side work. The author uses this to plan their own submission. Run as a substitute for an editor's triage assessment of a manuscript the editor is considering, it falls under the `editorial-side-use` guard (constraint 10). The recommendation is **qualitative**, not probabilistic. Outputs are tier bands (likely fit / stretch / probably premature). The peer-review-outcome variance literature (Bornmann κ ≈ 0.17 for …

How to install
mdr add seandavi/scriptorium/venue-fit@sha256:bf2a426460daebd7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.1f8453b, 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.
