gec-workflow
Use as the entry point for any Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript. Routes to the right GEC sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the paper fits a Research Article or a shorter format. GEC is interdisciplinary and social-science-leading; the router's first job is to make sure the human and policy dimensions are front and centre. 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.
# GEC Workflow Router (gec-workflow) The orchestrator for a *Global Environmental Change* submission. Figure out the stage and the **format**, then send the user to the matching skill. GEC publishes work on the **human and policy dimensions** of global environmental change — so the router's first job is to confirm the paper has a **significant social-science component** and a real-world / policy payoff, not just an environmental result. ## When to trigger - Starting a new GEC paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding whether the work fits a full **Research Article** or a shorter format - Returning with a decision letter (route to `gec-revision-and-rebuttal`) ## First question: which format? | Situation | Format | Route to | |-----------|--------|----------| | Full original study, broad significance | **Research Article** (up to 8,000 words) | normal pipeline below | | Distinctive viewpoint / agenda-setting argument | **Perspective** (up to 3,000 words) | `gec-conceptual-framework` + `gec-writing-style` | | Integrative synthesis needing methods/data analysis | Usually **Research Article** | `gec-literature-positioning` + `gec-concep

What does the gec-workflow skill do?
Use as the entry point for any Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript. Routes to the right GEC sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the paper fits a Research Article or a shorter format. GEC is interdisciplinary and social-science-leading; the router's first job is to make sure the human and policy dimensions are front and centre. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill gec-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.
