devpsych-workflow
Use when starting or navigating any Developmental Psychology (APA) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing a manuscript length tier or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and by the developmental design (cross-sectional, longitudinal/cohort, micro-genetic, experiment with minors); 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.
# Developmental Psychology Workflow Router (devpsych-workflow) The orchestrator for a Developmental Psychology submission. This APA journal publishes empirical work on **development across the life span**, and its defining demand is a credible claim about **developmental change** — age effects, within-person change, or trajectories — reported under **APA 7th + JARS**, with **masked review** and **Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP)** expectations. The router makes sure the developmental claim, the design, and the open-science package are all handled, then dispatches. ## When to trigger - Starting a new Developmental Psychology paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Choosing a length tier (brief report vs. larger report vs. multi-study/longitudinal report) - Returning with a decision letter (route to `devpsych-rebuttal`) ## First question: what kind of developmental claim and design? | Situation | Design | Route note | |-----------|--------|-----------| | Age differences at one time point | **Cross-sectional** | name the age/cohort confound early (`devpsych-study-design`) | | Within-person change over time | **Longitudinal / cohort*

What does the devpsych-workflow skill do?
Use when starting or navigating any Developmental Psychology (APA) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing a manuscript length tier or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and by the developmental design (cross-sectional, longitudinal/cohort, micro-genetic, experiment with minors); it dispatches, it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill devpsych-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.
