Use when deciding which ecta-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an Econometrica manuscript. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Econometrica Workflow (ecta-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill — it tells you **which ecta-* skill to invoke at the current stage**. Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, the target is **Econometrica**, the journal of the Econometric Society (published by Wiley; founded 1933) — the flagship for **econometric methods and rigorous economic theory** (microeconomic, game, and decision theory, plus mathematical economics). Its charter is the *unification of the theoretical-quantitative and empirical-quantitative approaches, penetrated by constructive and rigorous thinking*. The bar is mathematical rigor: a new method or theorem with a **complete, correct proof**, generality, and a clear economic or inferential payoff. This is the key re-slant from a sibling like AER / QJE / JPE / REStud: Econometrica's core product is the **theorem or the estimator**, not a clean causal estimate of a policy effect. A flawless applied difference-in-differences or RDD paper with an off-the-shelf method is *off-fit here* even if it would headline a general-interest top-5 journal. Lineage that fits: Heckman (1979, selection), Hansen (1982, GMM

What does the ecta-workflow skill do?
Use when deciding which ecta-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an Econometrica manuscript. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ecta-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.
