aaag-workflow
Use when starting or navigating any Annals of the American Association of Geographers (Annals of the AAG) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which of the journal's four areas (plus the cross-disciplinary track) the paper targets. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Annals of the AAG Workflow Router (aaag-workflow) The orchestrator for an Annals submission. Figure out the stage and the **area**, then send the user to the matching skill. The Annals is the **broad four-area flagship of the discipline** — the router's first job is to make the paper legible as *geography*, not just as a domain study that happens to use maps or coordinates. ## When to trigger - Starting a new Annals paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding which of the **four areas** (or the cross-disciplinary/General Geography track) the paper targets - Choosing the **article type** (Article, Forum, Commentary) — they have different caps - Returning with a decision letter (route to `aaag-rebuttal`) ## First question: which area? The Annals routes manuscripts to a **subject editor by area**; the area you declare shapes the reviewers and the bar. Pick the closest, or General Geography if the contribution is discipline-wide. | Your work | Area | Watch for | |-----------|------|-----------| | Spatial analysis, GIScience, modeling, geocomputation | **Geographic Methods** | method must advance geographic inference, not just apply a t

What does the aaag-workflow skill do?
Use when starting or navigating any Annals of the American Association of Geographers (Annals of the AAG) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which of the journal's four areas (plus the cross-disciplinary track) the paper targets. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aaag-workflow --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
