jop-workflow
Use as the entry point for any The Journal of Politics (JOP) manuscript. Routes to the right JOP sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether a Research Article (<= 35 pages) or a Short Article (<= 10 pages) fits. JOP counts pages, not words, and makes acceptance contingent on replicability. 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.
# JOP Workflow Router (jop-workflow) The orchestrator for a JOP submission. Figure out the stage and the **category**, then send the user to the matching skill. JOP is a **general-interest** journal that counts **pages, not words**, and makes **acceptance contingent on replicability** — so the router's first jobs are to fix the category against the **page budget** and to start the replication package early. ## When to trigger - Starting a new JOP paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding between a **Research Article** (≤ 35 pp) and a **Short Article** (≤ 10 pp) - Returning with a decision letter (route to `jop-rebuttal`) ## First question: which category? | Situation | Category | Route to | |-----------|----------|----------| | Full original study, broad interest | **Research Article** (≤ 35 pages) | normal pipeline below | | Single sharp contribution, fits tight | **Short Article** (≤ 10 pages) | normal pipeline, tighter scope | | Lots of robustness / derivations / SI | keep main text lean | `jop-tables-figures` + Online Appendix (≤ 25 pp) | | Empirical/formal results to deposit | replication package | `jop-replication-and-data-po

What does the jop-workflow skill do?
Use as the entry point for any The Journal of Politics (JOP) manuscript. Routes to the right JOP sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether a Research Article (<= 35 pages) or a Short Article (<= 10 pages) fits. JOP counts pages, not words, and makes acceptance contingent on replicability. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jop-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.
