Check my manuscript 'Impact of X on Y' for submission to The Lancet. It's an RCT. Here is the draft and the trial ID is NCT123456.

Verdict: NOT YET Blockers:
- CONSORT checklist missing: As an RCT, The Lancet requires a completed CONSORT flow diagram and checklist.
- Data Availability Statement: Manuscript lacks a specific statement on data sharing. Cover Letter: [Drafted content included...]

About This Skill
Most first-week rejections have nothing to do with the science — they're desk rejections for missing statements, ignored author instructions, the wrong reporting checklist, or a cover letter that buries the contribution. Manuscript Submission Readiness Pack runs the pre-submission pass a publications professional would run. Give it your manuscript and target journal, and it audits the full package: journal fit and author-instruction limits, the correct reporting guideline for your study design (CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE, CARE, TRIPOD and more), ICMJE authorship criteria, conflict and funding disclosures, ethics and consent statements, trial registration, data-availability statements, reference integrity, and package completeness — then returns a READY or NOT YET verdict with blockers, should-fixes, and polish items, a drafted cover letter built on the included template, and a submission-day checklist. The download includes three reference files: the master readiness checklist, a reporting-guidelines quick reference by study design, and a complete cover-letter template. Built by a CMPP-certified, PhD medical writer with 10+ years in publications. It checks readiness and drafts text; it does not evaluate the science or replace the journal's current author instructions. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and any SKILL.md agent.
Use Cases
- Identify missing reporting guideline items like CONSORT or STROBE.
- Verify ICMJE authorship and ethical disclosure statements.
- Draft a journal-specific cover letter with required editorial declarations.
- Check adherence to journal word counts, figure limits, and formatting.
Known Limitations
Checks submission readiness and drafts text — it does not evaluate scientific validity, study design, statistics, or the merit of your findings, and it cannot guarantee acceptance or that a manuscript will pass peer review. It works only from the manuscript and details you provide; it does not query live databases, so it cannot verify trial-registration records, citation retraction status, or a journal's current author instructions in real time — always confirm requirements against the journal's live guidelines. It reflects reporting guidelines and ICMJE criteria as understood at time of authoring and does not update itself. Output is Markdown drafts (a readiness report and a cover letter) for your review, not a submission service — it does not submit anything on your behalf.

File Scopes
This skill only reads the manuscript and target-journal details you provide and writes its readiness report and drafted cover letter, plus reads its own bundled reference templates. It does not run shell commands, open a browser, make network calls, query live databases, or read environment variables, and it connects to no external hosts.

Works with any SKILL.md-compatible agent, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. No runtime, build tools, or dependencies required — the skill is Markdown instructions plus three Markdown reference files. You supply the manuscript and target-journal details; the skill audits readiness and drafts the cover letter.
