aerj-workflow
Use as the entry point for any American Educational Research Journal (AERJ) manuscript. Routes to the right AERJ sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the manuscript's field-wide education-research fit is clear. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# AERJ Workflow Router (aerj-workflow) The orchestrator for an AERJ submission. Figure out the stage and the manuscript's **dominant education research lens**, then send the user to the matching skill. AERJ is a **field-wide generalist** journal; the router's first job is to make sure the paper is pitched to the whole field, not to a single subfield. The old SIA/TLHD section split ended for new manuscripts in 2015. ## When to trigger - Starting a new AERJ paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding whether the paper's policy/institutional, teaching/learning, development, or cross-cutting lens is clear - Returning with a decision letter (route to `aerj-rebuttal`) ## First question: what is the dominant lens? | Situation | Dominant lens | Then | |-----------|---------------|------| | Policy, governance, equity, organizations, institutions | Policy / institutional / organizational | normal pipeline below | | Teaching, learning, instruction, human development | Teaching / learning / development | normal pipeline below | | Sits across lenses | name the **dominant framing** | explain why the contribution travels across the field | > The le

What does the aerj-workflow skill do?
Use as the entry point for any American Educational Research Journal (AERJ) manuscript. Routes to the right AERJ sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the manuscript's field-wide education-research fit is clear. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aerj-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.
