Use when deciding which jhr-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Human Resources (JHR) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

# JHR Workflow Router (jhr-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which jhr-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at the *Journal of Human Resources*. Default assumption: unless told otherwise, treat the target as JHR — a leading **empirical-microeconomics** journal founded in 1965, published by University of Wisconsin Press and housed at the UW-Madison Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP). It covers **labor, development, health, education, discrimination, and retirement** economics with a strong applied-micro, causal-identification, and **public-policy** orientation. Crucially, despite its name, JHR does **NOT** consider management or personnel ("HR management") research — and the nonrefundable submission fee is not returned for out-of-scope papers. The Editor is **Anna Aizer (Brown)** as of 2026-06-01; **Michael Lovenheim (Cornell)** becomes Editor on **2026-07-01** — re-verify on the live editorial-board page. ## When to trigger - The user asks "what should I do next?" - A draft is handed over and the current bottleneck needs diagnosing - Work is ping-ponging between empirics, writing, and the

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