lancet-workflow
Use when deciding which lancet-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a clinical or global-health manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for The Lancet. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Lancet Workflow Router (lancet-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which lancet-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *The Lancet*. Default assumption: unless the user states otherwise, the target is **The Lancet** (the flagship clinical/global-health weekly), not a Lancet family title (*Lancet Global Health*, *Lancet Public Health*, *EClinicalMedicine*, or a specialty journal such as *Lancet Oncology*). Family titles share house style but differ on scope and audience — flag the difference and route to `lancet-fit` if the user names one. ## When to trigger - "What should I do next with this clinical manuscript?" - A draft arrives and you must diagnose the current bottleneck. - The user is moving between trial conduct, writing, and revision and has lost the thread. - Reviews arrive from The Lancet (including a statistical reviewer) and you need rebuttal mode. ## The single most important gate The Lancet rejects **most submissions without external review**. The editorial bar is not technical correctness alone — it is **clinical or public-health importance, global relevance, and impact on practi

What does the lancet-workflow skill do?
Use when deciding which lancet-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a clinical or global-health manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for The Lancet. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill lancet-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.
