# IMFER Workflow Router (imfer-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It tells you **which imfer-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *IMF Economic Review* (IMFER) — the **International Monetary Fund's flagship scholarly journal**, published by **Palgrave Macmillan / Springer Nature** for the IMF, and the successor to *IMF Staff Papers*.

Operational tells you are at IMFER and not a sibling or generic field journal: the audience is **part academic, part policy/institutional** — a referee reads as both a frontier researcher and someone who could brief an IMF mission; review is **double-blind** (anonymize the main file); house style is the **Chicago Manual of Style** with American spelling; the abstract is italicized a

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