lang-workflow
Use when starting or navigating any manuscript aimed at Language (Linguistic Society of America) and unsure which skill applies — it reads your stage and piece type (General Research Article, Research Report, Review Article, Discussion Note, or an online-only section: Perspectives, Phonological Analysis, Language and Public Policy, Teaching Linguistics) and routes you to the matching sub-skill. It dispatches; it does not draft analysis.

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.
# Language Workflow Router (lang-workflow) The orchestrator for a submission to *Language*, the flagship journal of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), published continuously since 1925 and, from January 2026, by **Cambridge University Press** (fully open access from Volume 102). *Language* takes work from **every subfield** — phonology, phonetics, syntax, semantics, morphology, historical and typological linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics — and judges each by the standards of its own tradition while demanding one thing across the board: a **theoretically grounded claim carried by rigorous linguistic evidence**, legible to a general linguistics readership, not to one framework's insiders. ## When to trigger - Starting a new *Language* manuscript and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding whether the work is a full **General Research Article** or a shorter **Research Report** - Considering an online-only section (Perspectives / Phonological Analysis / Language and Public Policy / Teaching Linguistics) - Returning with a decision letter (route to `lang-rebuttal`) ## First question: which pie

What does the lang-workflow skill do?
Use when starting or navigating any manuscript aimed at Language (Linguistic Society of America) and unsure which skill applies — it reads your stage and piece type (General Research Article, Research Report, Review Article, Discussion Note, or an online-only section: Perspectives, Phonological Analysis, Language and Public Policy, Teaching Linguistics) and routes you to the matching sub-skill. It dispatches; it does not draft analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill lang-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.
