Evaluates manuscript fit, clinical evidence standards, and submission readiness for The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI).

The JACI Manuscript Submission & Review Guide is a domain-specific Claude Code skill designed for researchers targeting The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI). It provides structured guidance on scope alignment, evidence and mechanistic rigor, clinical trial registration, reporting guidelines (CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, STARD), and AAAAI/Elsevier house style. By identifying common desk-reject risks—such as unanchored basic immunology or unvalidated biomarker claims—and offering alternative journal re-routing advice, this skill helps academic authors maximize publication readiness prior to submission.
