# JAMA Manuscript Workflow (jama-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which jama-* skill to use for the stage you are at** when preparing an Original Investigation (or systematic review / meta-analysis) for JAMA. Default assumption: unless the user says the target is a different journal, treat the manuscript as aimed at JAMA — a big-four general medical journal (alongside NEJM, The Lancet, The BMJ) that demands **general medical importance**, a clean **EQUATOR-aligned reporting standard** (CONSORT / STROBE / PRISMA / STARD), prospective **trial registration**, and dedicated **statistical review**. ## When to trigger - "What should I do next?" on a clinical manuscript - A draft is handed over and the current bottleneck is unclear - You are bouncing between design, stats, writing, and reviewer replies - You received JAMA decision letter / reviewer comments and must switch to revision mode ## Routing table | Current symptom | Next skill | |----------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------| | Unsure the topic clears JAMA's general-medical-importance bar | `jama-scope-fit`

What does the jama-workflow skill do?
Use when deciding which jama-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a clinical manuscript from scope check through revision for JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association). Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jama-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.
