Hold your AI to the standard behind 3,250+ published papers.
The skill packs are Archon's method — 14 years in scientific publishing — written into prompts you load into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. They review your paper section by section, check every reference, name the right journals, and never call it "ready to submit" while a real problem is open.
You already pasted it into ChatGPT
It goes one of two ways, and either way you submit without knowing whether the paper holds up, where to send it, or how anyone will find it.
It called the draft great and made up half the references.
Reviewers spot invented citations fast, and one fake reference with your name on it can sink the paper. The model won't tell you which claims it couldn't actually back up.
So you did it yourself — days to months of work.
Structuring, drafting, reformatting for each journal's rules. Depending on the paper and the field, that runs from a few days to several months — time the research could have used, spent on packaging instead.
Give your AI the rules that get papers published
A skill pack is Archon's method, 14 years in scientific publishing, written as instructions your AI follows. Load it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and it answers the three questions a blank chat can't, checking every reference as it goes and flagging anything it can't confirm.
- Does it hold up?A reviewer reads the paper section by section, the way a journal's reviewers will, and names what is weak. It never says "ready to submit" while a real problem is open.Paper Reviewer · Reviewer Panel
- Where should it go?Five indexed journals and two SciELO journals that fit the paper, each checked and shown with real articles it has published.Journal Recommender
- Will anyone find it?A title, keywords and highlights written so the right editors and readers find the paper once it is out.Academic SEO Optimizer
One standard, three packs, three depths
Every pack runs the same rules. What changes is how much of the work it covers. Pick the one that matches where your paper is today.
You have a paper. Check whether it holds up to review, find the right journals, and make it easy to find — before you submit.

Same AI, different rules
The model is capable. On its own it flatters and invents. A skill changes how it behaves.
And it's tested. The ten skills passed an independent adversarial audit — 198 live probes against the real verification sources — fixed until no serious problems remained.
The skill packs are a slice of the method, not the whole machine
Each skill is Archon's own standard, written down so your AI can follow it. Useful on its own, but still a small part of what Archon runs end to end.

A skill is only the written method. The agents that carry it out, the checkpoints that stop it and the tools that verify it stay in full Archon, which takes your thesis, data or stalled draft all the way to a verified manuscript.

Journal Revisions began with one job: help a university publish more. Ian Kinney and Marcos Guzmán Delgado built the method that did it, refined it across nearly every field, and wrote it into these skills.
The method never depended on the subject. Chemistry or history, the steps are the same: find a viable niche, make the contribution clear, write directly, and weigh a journal's odds with bibliometrics before you submit.
The skills weren't guessed at. They carry that same method, written in step by step — so when one reviews your work or picks a journal, it's applying what actually gets papers published.

Three steps to set up, nothing to install
Each skill is a single Markdown file, and the whole file is the instruction.
Open the skill's .md file
Pick the skill you need from the pack. Everything it does is in one plain file.
Load it into your LLM
Paste it, attach it, or save it as a project, custom GPT or Gem instruction.
Hand over your work
Give it your manuscript, thesis, abstract or data and ask for the result. Chain skills for the full pipeline.
What happens when researchers try it
Customer feedback, shared by role only to protect client confidentiality.
Anyone who wants a tool that agrees with them. If you'd rather be told your paper is great, keep using a blank chat. These skills are built to catch problems while you can still fix them.
