cogpsych-workflow
Use when starting or navigating any Cognitive Psychology (Elsevier) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing among manuscript types or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and contribution type (multi-experiment empirical, experiment-plus-model, modeling-led, theoretical/review), and flags the journal's long-form, model-driven house style and code-transparency expectations. 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.
# Cognitive Psychology Workflow Router (cogpsych-workflow) The orchestrator for a Cognitive Psychology (Elsevier) submission. The journal's two defining features are that it rewards **longer, integrative, model-driven papers** — typically a **multi-experiment program tied to a formal/computational model** — and that it expects **data, model code, and analysis scripts** to be shareable. The router makes sure the contribution is theory-and-model-shaped from the start, then sends the user to the matching skill. ## When to trigger - Starting a new Cognitive Psychology paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Choosing the contribution type (empirical-only vs. experiment-plus-model vs. modeling-led) - Returning with a decision letter (route to `cogpsych-rebuttal`) ## First question: contribution type | Situation | Type | Route note | |-----------|------|-----------| | Several controlled experiments that jointly constrain a theory | **Multi-experiment empirical** | main pipeline; make each experiment add inference, not repeat | | Experiments **plus** a fitted formal model (the common shape here) | **Experiment + model** | pull `cogpsych-theory-an

What does the cogpsych-workflow skill do?
Use when starting or navigating any Cognitive Psychology (Elsevier) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing among manuscript types or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and contribution type (multi-experiment empirical, experiment-plus-model, modeling-led, theoretical/review), and flags the journal's long-form, model-driven house style and code-transparency expectations. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill cogpsych-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.
