Use when deciding whether a project fits Agricultural Systems (AgSy) and which article type to target. AgSy is a systems-science journal, so the test is a genuine systems question — interactions among components, across hierarchical levels (field → farm → landscape → region → food system), trade-offs, and emergent behavior — analyzed with integrated modelling, NOT a single-factor field trial. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.

From the source SKILL.md

Agricultural Systems publishes the systems analysis of agricultural systems. The bar is not "a new result for crop X" — it is "a systems question about interactions and trade-offs." Use this skill to pressure-test fit before you invest, and to keep a field trial from being mistaken for a systems paper.

What this skill does
