apsr-workflow
Use as the entry point for any American Political Science Review (APSR) manuscript. Routes to the right APSR sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which of the five tracks (Regular Article, Research Note, Replication/Reappraisal, Synthesis, Registered Report) fits. 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.
# APSR Workflow Router (apsr-workflow) The orchestrator for an APSR submission. Figure out the stage and the **track**, then send the user to the matching skill. APSR is a **discipline-wide generalist** journal — the router's first job is to make sure the paper is pitched to the whole discipline, not just a subfield. ## When to trigger - Starting a new APSR paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding which of the **five tracks** fits the paper - Returning with a decision letter (route to `apsr-rebuttal`) ## First question: which track? | Situation | Track | Route to | |-----------|-------|----------| | Full original study, broad significance | **Regular Article** (< 11,000 words) | normal pipeline below | | Focused single contribution | **Research Note** (< 7,000 words) | normal pipeline, tighter scope | | Re-running / reassessing a published finding | **Replications and Reappraisals** | `apsr-research-design` + `apsr-transparency-and-data-policy` | | Consolidating a literature or debate | **Synthesis** | `apsr-literature-positioning` + `apsr-theory-building` | | Design finished, data **not yet collected/analyzed** | **Registered Rep

What does the apsr-workflow skill do?
Use as the entry point for any American Political Science Review (APSR) manuscript. Routes to the right APSR sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which of the five tracks (Regular Article, Research Note, Replication/Reappraisal, Synthesis, Registered Report) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill apsr-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.
