aeja-workflow
Use when deciding which aeja-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aeja-workflow --agent claude-code
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.
# AEJ: Applied Workflow Router (aeja-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It tells you **which aeja-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at the *American Economic Journal: Applied Economics* (AEJ: Applied) — the **American Economic Association's** quarterly journal for **empirical applied microeconomics with credible causal identification**: labor, development, health, education, public, urban, environmental, and household finance. AEJ: Applied is **empirical-first**: a clean research design carrying a substantive economic question, with theory used to *interpret and structure* rather than to lead. Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as AEJ: Applied. Operational tells that you are at AEJ: Applied and not a sibling: review is **single-blind** (author identities are visible to referees); submission is via the **AEA ScholarOne system** with fee tiers by AEA membership and country-income status; **JEL codes and a 100-word abstract** are required; and the signature stable differentiator is the **AEA Data and Code Availability Policy** — administered by the **AEA Data Editor (Lars Vilhuber)**, accepted papers deposit data + cod

What does the aeja-workflow skill do?
Use when deciding which aeja-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aeja-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.
