est-workflow
Use as the entry point for any Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) manuscript. Routes to the right ES&T sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which article type (Research Article, Critical Review, Feature, Perspective, Policy Analysis, or the rapid companion ES&T Letters) fits. 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.
# ES&T Workflow Router (est-workflow) The orchestrator for an ES&T submission. Figure out the stage and the **article type**, then send the user to the matching skill. ES&T is a **multidisciplinary environmental science and engineering** journal — the router's first job is to make sure the paper carries clear **environmental significance**, not just a clean lab result. ## When to trigger - Starting a new ES&T paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding which article type fits, or whether to send urgent results to **ES&T Letters** - Returning with a decision letter (route to `est-revision-and-rebuttal`) ## First question: which article type? | Situation | Type | Route to | |-----------|------|----------| | Full original study | **Research Article** (~7,000 words; 待核实) | normal pipeline below | | Urgent, high-impact result, short | **ES&T Letters** (Letter ≤3,000 words; separate journal) | tighten scope; `est-submission` | | Comprehensive synthesis of a field | **Critical Review** (~10,000 words; 待核实) | `est-literature-positioning` + `est-writing-style` | | Forward-looking opinion/synthesis | **Perspective** (~4,000 words; 待核实) | `est-

What does the est-workflow skill do?
Use as the entry point for any Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) manuscript. Routes to the right ES&T sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which article type (Research Article, Critical Review, Feature, Perspective, Policy Analysis, or the rapid companion ES&T Letters) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill est-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.
