## What it does

This skill drafts the four standard disclosure statements required for manuscript submission. It prepares an AI-use disclosure tailored to the target journal's policy, maps coauthors to the 14-role CRediT taxonomy, drafts conflict of interest statements, and documents data availability. The agent searches journal guidelines online to confirm current requirements before generating text.

The tool checks repository session logs and prompts the researcher to distinguish machine output from human contributions. Completed drafts are saved to `quality_reports/submission_disclosures_[manuscript-slug].md`. The `--statements-only` flag prints the text directly in chat. Passing `--no-ai` skips the AI disclosure paragraph.

If session logs clearly contradict the `--no-ai` flag, the skill stops and flags the discrepancy instead of emitting a false claim. It does not screen statistical datasets for privacy or disclosure risks; that task belongs to `/disclosure-check`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill submission-disclosures -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/submission-disclosures/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/submission-disclosures/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill submission-disclosures -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/submission-disclosures/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill submission-disclosures -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/submission-disclosures/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow submission-disclosures
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/submission-disclosures/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill submission-disclosures -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --path .claude/skills/submission-disclosures
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/submission-disclosures/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill submission-disclosures -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/submission-disclosures/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- generate the four standard disclosure statements for journal submission
- assign author contributions across the 14 CRediT taxonomy roles
- verify target journal AI policies using live web searches
- draft data availability statements matching replication packages

## Example prompts
- Draft submission disclosures for manuscript.tex targeting AER
- Generate author CRediT roles and conflict of interest using --statements-only
- Check manuscript acknowledgments against target journal disclosure policies

Use when the user says "AI disclosure", "disclosure statement", "do I need to disclose Claude", "CRediT roles", "conflict of interest statement", "data availability statement", or is preparing a submission package. NOT statistical-disclosure screening of restricted-data outputs — that is /disclosure-check.

# /submission-disclosures — The Submission-Time Disclosure Block

Draft the four statements journals now require (or strongly expect) at submission, in one pass: **AI-use disclosure**, **CRediT contributor roles**, **conflict-of-interest**, and **data availability**. Journals tightened AI-use policies through 2025–2026; an undisclosed-AI finding at a top journal is now a research-integrity problem, not a formatting one — so the statement should be drafted *deliberately*, not improvised in the submission portal at midnight.

**This skill is about the author's disclosures TO the journal.** It is unrelated to [`/disclosure-check`](../disclosure-check/SKILL.md), which screens restricted-data *outputs* for statistical-disclosure risk (small cells, PII). Same word, different worlds.

## When to use

- Preparing a submission or resubmission package and the portal asks for AI-use / COI / data-availability statements.
- A revise-and-resubmit at a journal that adopted an AI policy since the original submission.
- A coauthor asks "do we need to say we used Claude/Copilot/ChatGPT on this?"

## Phases

### Phase 1 — Resolve the journal's actual policy

1. If a journal short-name is given, read its profile in [`journal-profiles.md`](../../references/journal-profiles.md) (top-5 econ + AEA-imprint policy notes + poli-sci top-3).
2. **Verify the current policy on the journal's own site** (`WebSearch`/`WebFetch`: "<journal> artificial intelligence policy authors", the journal's submission guidelines page). Policies moved fast in 2025–2026; a cached or remembered policy is not good enough for a submission. Record the URL and retrieval date in the output.
