Use as the entry point for any Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript. Routes to the right Demography sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which article type (Research Article, Research Note, Commentary) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

# Demography Workflow Router (demog-workflow) The orchestrator for a *Demography* submission. Figure out the stage and the **article type**, then send the user to the matching skill. Demography is the **multidisciplinary flagship of the Population Association of America** — the router's first job is to confirm the paper poses a genuine **population-science** question (how populations change, or why, and with what consequences), not a study that merely uses demographic data in passing. ## When to trigger - Starting a new Demography paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding which **article type** fits (Article vs. Note vs. Commentary) - Returning with a decision letter (route to `demog-rebuttal`) ## First question: which article type? | Situation | Type | Route to | |-----------|------|----------| | Full original population study | **Research Article** (<= 8,000 words) | normal pipeline below | | One focused, self-contained contribution | **Research Note** (<= 4,000 words) | normal pipeline, tighter scope | | Short response/perspective on published work or a debate | **Commentary** (<= 2,000 words) | `demog-literature-positioning` +

What does the demog-workflow skill do?
Use as the entry point for any Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript. Routes to the right Demography sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which article type (Research Article, Research Note, Commentary) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill demog-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.
