curranthro-workflow
Use when starting or navigating any Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right CA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and article type (Major Article under the CA✩ Treatment, Report, Forum, Discussion/Comment). 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.
# CA Workflow Router (curranthro-workflow) The orchestrator for a *Current Anthropology* submission. Figure out the **stage**, the **subfield**, and the **article type**, then send the user to the matching skill. CA is the transnational, all-fields journal **published by the University of Chicago Press for the Wenner-Gren Foundation**, and its defining feature is the **CA✩ Treatment**: an accepted Major Article is circulated to invited commentators whose **signed Comments are published alongside it**, followed by the **author's Reply**. The router's first job is to make sure the work is built to *survive and reward* that public, multi-voice scrutiny. ## When to trigger - Starting a new CA paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding which **article type** fits (Major Article vs. Report vs. Forum vs. Discussion/Comment) - Returning with a decision letter or with **published Comments to reply to** (route to `curranthro-rebuttal`) ## First questions: subfield and article type | Situation | Article type | Route to | |-----------|--------------|----------| | Field-shaping theoretical/methodological intervention, broad reach | **Major Artic

What does the curranthro-workflow skill do?
Use when starting or navigating any Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right CA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and article type (Major Article under the CA✩ Treatment, Report, Forum, Discussion/Comment). It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill curranthro-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.
