ajps-workflow
Use as the entry point for any American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) manuscript. Routes to the right AJPS sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which submission type (Article, Research Note, Correspondence) fits, and reminds you that AJPS re-runs your code via a third-party verifier before publishing. 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.
# AJPS Workflow Router (ajps-workflow) The orchestrator for an AJPS submission. Figure out the stage and the **submission type**, then send the user to the matching skill. AJPS is the MPSA's flagship, **Wiley**-published, **double-blind** journal whose defining feature is **mandatory third-party verification of replication materials before publication** — so this router also makes sure reproducibility is engineered from the start, not bolted on at acceptance. ## When to trigger - Starting a new AJPS paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding whether the paper is an **Article**, **Research Note**, or **Correspondence** - Returning with a decision letter (route to `ajps-rebuttal`) ## First question: which submission type? | Situation | Type | Route to | |-----------|------|----------| | Full original study | **Article** (<= 10,000 words) | normal pipeline below | | A **methodology** advance or a **meta-analysis** | **Research Note** (<= 4,000 words) | normal pipeline, tighter scope | | Critique / correction of a paper already published in AJPS | **Correspondence** (<= 4,000 words) | `ajps-literature-positioning` + `ajps-data-analysis`

What does the ajps-workflow skill do?
Use as the entry point for any American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) manuscript. Routes to the right AJPS sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which submission type (Article, Research Note, Correspondence) fits, and reminds you that AJPS re-runs your code via a third-party verifier before publishing. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ajps-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.
