Use when deciding which pnas-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

# PNAS Workflow Router (pnas-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which pnas-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *PNAS* (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). PNAS publishes across three broad divisions — **Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences** — and every research article is filed under one of them plus a minor subject area (`pnas-writing`). Two things make PNAS unlike Science or Nature and reshape the workflow: the **submission track** decision (Direct vs Contributed by an NAS member — `pnas-track`) and the mandatory **Significance Statement** (`pnas-significance`). Settle the track early; it changes how the paper is handled and reviewed. ## When to trigger - "What should I do next with this draft?" - A draft arrives and you must diagnose the current bottleneck. - The user is unsure whether to use Direct or Contributed submission. - Reviews arrive from PNAS and you need to switch into rebuttal mode. ## The single most important gate PNAS is selective but **more accepting than Science or Nature**: it values solid, important science, not only the flashiest t

What does the pnas-workflow skill do?
Use when deciding which pnas-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill pnas-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.
