# AER: Insights Workflow Router (aeri-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It tells you **which aeri-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *American Economic Review: Insights* (AER: Insights) — the AEA's **short-format**, general-interest journal (founded 2019) for papers built around **ONE clear, important, well-executed idea**, empirical, theoretical, or methodological. The bar is **AER-level importance compressed into a short paper**. AER: Insights is the short sibling of the *American Economic Review* (long, multi-result, flagship) and is general-interest, unlike the field-oriented full papers of the *AEJ* family. Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as AER: Insights. The two operational tells that you are at AER: Insights and not AER or an AEJ: (1) a **hard length cap** — main text **≤7,000 words with no exhibits, minus 200 words per exhibit, maximum five exhibits**, abstract **≤100 words** — papers over the cap are returned unreviewed; (2) a **single insight** must carry the whole paper, with everything secondary pushed to the online Supplemental Appendix. Process tells: AEA **single-blind** review that is **fast a

What does the aeri-workflow skill do?
Use when deciding which aeri-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing work on a short-format manuscript from topic selection through the conditional-accept response for an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aeri-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.
