joap-workflow
Use when starting or navigating any Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing among article types or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and article type (Feature Article, Research Report, theory-development article, integrative review, qualitative, meta-analysis), and flags JAP's twin gates — a real I-O theoretical contribution and measurement/design rigor. 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.
# Journal of Applied Psychology Workflow Router (joap-workflow) The orchestrator for a JAP submission. JAP is the **APA flagship of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology**, and it accepts almost nothing on rigor alone: a paper must make a **theoretical contribution to I-O science** *and* clear a high bar on **construct validity, design, and measurement**. The router makes sure both gates are addressed early, then sends you to the matching skill. ## When to trigger - Starting a new JAP paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Choosing among article types - Returning with a decision letter (route to `joap-rebuttal`) ## First question: article type | Situation | Type | Route note | |-----------|------|-----------| | Full programmatic empirical contribution | **Feature Article** | main pipeline below; length commensurate with contribution | | Focused, shorter empirical contribution | **Research Report** | tighter page budget (待核实 exact cap); often a multi-study package | | New conceptual/theory contribution, no new data | **Theory-development article** | `joap-theory-and-hypotheses` is the spine; design/analysis lighter | | Cumulative syn

What does the joap-workflow skill do?
Use when starting or navigating any Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing among article types or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and article type (Feature Article, Research Report, theory-development article, integrative review, qualitative, meta-analysis), and flags JAP's twin gates — a real I-O theoretical contribution and measurement/design rigor. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill joap-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.
