Use as the entry point for any Journal of Communication (JoC) manuscript. Routes to the right JoC sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which format (original research article, JoC Forum, special issue) fits. 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.
# JoC Workflow Router (joc-workflow) The orchestrator for a JoC submission. Figure out the stage and the **format**, then send the user to the matching skill. JoC is the **flagship, field-wide journal** of the International Communication Association — the router's first job is to make sure the paper is pitched to communication research broadly, not just one subfield or platform. ## When to trigger - Starting a new JoC paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding which **format** fits (article, JoC Forum, special-issue call) - Returning with a decision letter (route to `joc-rebuttal`) ## First question: which format? | Situation | Format | Route to | |-----------|--------|----------| | Full original study, broad significance | **Original article** (main doc ≤ 35 pages) | normal pipeline below | | Short, argument-driven contribution | **JoC Forum** (3,000–6,000 words) | normal pipeline, tighter scope | | Responding to a themed call | **Special issue** | `joc-topic-selection` (fit to the call) + pipeline | | Prospective design, data not yet collected | preregister first | `joc-open-science-and-transparency` early | > If the design is pro

What does the joc-workflow skill do?
Use as the entry point for any Journal of Communication (JoC) manuscript. Routes to the right JoC sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which format (original research article, JoC Forum, special issue) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill joc-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.
