jpam-workflow
Use when starting or orienting any Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right JPAM sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which article type (Feature Research Article, Point/Counterpoint, Methods for Policy Analysis, Policy Insights, Policy Retrospective) 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.
# JPAM Workflow Router (jpam-workflow) The orchestrator for a JPAM submission. Figure out the stage and the **article type**, then send the user to the matching skill. JPAM is the **cross-disciplinary public-policy-analysis flagship** of APPAM (published by Wiley) — the router's first job is to make sure the paper delivers a **credibly identified effect of a real policy or program** *and* a **clear, non-overclaimed policy implication**, legible to economists, political scientists, and public-management scholars alike. ## When to trigger - Starting a new JPAM paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding which **article type** fits the work - Returning with a decision letter (route to `jpam-rebuttal`) ## First question: which article type? | Situation | Type | Route to | |-----------|------|----------| | Full causal evaluation of a policy/program with broad relevance | **Feature Research Article** | normal pipeline below | | Invited debate between scholars on a timely policy question (not peer-reviewed) | **Point/Counterpoint** | `jpam-writing-style` + `jpam-literature-positioning` | | A methodological advance for policy analysts | **Me

What does the jpam-workflow skill do?
Use when starting or orienting any Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right JPAM sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which article type (Feature Research Article, Point/Counterpoint, Methods for Policy Analysis, Policy Insights, Policy Retrospective) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jpam-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.
