amanthro-workflow
Use when starting or navigating any American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right AA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and section type (Research Article, Vital Topics Forum, World/Public/Multimodal Anthropologies, Review Essay). 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.
# AA Workflow Router (amanthro-workflow) The orchestrator for an *American Anthropologist* submission. Figure out the **stage**, the **subfield**, and the **section type**, then send the user to the matching skill. AA is the **four-field AAA flagship** — the router's first job is to make sure the work reads as anthropology that speaks across subfields, with reflexivity and an ethics of care built in from the start, not bolted on. ## When to trigger - Starting a new AA paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding which **section** fits (full Research Article vs. a shorter forum/commentary) - Returning with a decision letter (route to `amanthro-rebuttal`) ## First questions: subfield and section | Situation | Section | Route to | |-----------|---------|----------| | Full original study, broad anthropological significance | **Research Article** (≤ 8,000 words) | normal pipeline below | | Multi-voice debate on a pressing issue | **Vital Topics Forum** | `amanthro-topic-selection` + `amanthro-writing-style` | | Anthropology produced outside the US/Anglophone center | **World Anthropologies** | `amanthro-topic-selection` + `amanthro-literat

What does the amanthro-workflow skill do?
Use when starting or navigating any American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right AA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and section type (Research Article, Vital Topics Forum, World/Public/Multimodal Anthropologies, Review Essay).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill amanthro-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.
