jf-workflow
Use when deciding which jf-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for The Journal of Finance (JF). Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

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.
# Workflow Router (jf-workflow) ## When to trigger - You are unsure which `jf-*` skill applies to the current task - You want an end-to-end sequence for a JF manuscript - You are mid-project and need the next step ## What this pack targets The Journal of Finance: AFA flagship, founded **1946**, bimonthly, Wiley-Blackwell, finance **top-3** with JFE and RFS, **~5% acceptance / ~33–45% desk reject** (afajof.org editor reports, accessed 2026-05-30). Distinctive JF mechanics this pack encodes: the **AFA online portal with a tiered submission fee** (high-income AFA member $400 / non-member $525; low-income $0), the **60-page limit** (≥1.5 spacing, 12-pt), the **Internet Appendix bundled at the end of the same PDF**, the **Data and Code Sharing Policy** with a **Data Editor**, and a **cover letter that is normally omitted**. ## End-to-end sequence 1. **`jf-topic-selection`** — is this general-interest and flagship-level? 2. **`jf-literature-positioning`** — state the marginal contribution; attribute canon to the right top-3 journal. 3. Design: **`jf-empirical-design`** (asset pricing) or **`jf-identification`** (corporate/causal). 4. **`jf-robustness`** — decisive checks in body, exhaust

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