psci-workflow
Use when starting or navigating any Psychological Science manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing among manuscript types or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and manuscript type (Research Article, Registered Report Stage 1/2, Registered Report with Existing Data, Commentary), and flags the journal's tight word format and open-science requirements. 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.
# Psychological Science Workflow Router (psci-workflow) The orchestrator for a Psychological Science submission. The journal's two defining constraints are a **very tight word format** and **strong open-science requirements** — the router makes sure both are handled from the start, then sends the user to the matching skill. ## When to trigger - Starting a new Psychological Science paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Choosing among manuscript types - Returning with a decision letter (route to `psci-rebuttal`) ## First question: manuscript type | Situation | Type | Route note | |-----------|------|-----------| | Completed empirical study | **Research Article** | main pipeline below; mind the 2,000-word format | | Prospective design, no results yet | **Registered Report (Stage 1)** | go to `psci-study-design` + `psci-review-process` early | | Stage-1 accepted, now have results | **Registered Report (Stage 2)** | `psci-data-analysis` → `psci-writing-style` | | Confirmatory test on existing data | **Registered Report with Existing Data** | `psci-study-design` (declare data provenance) | | Short critique/reply to a published paper | **Comme

What does the psci-workflow skill do?
Use when starting or navigating any Psychological Science manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing among manuscript types or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and manuscript type (Research Article, Registered Report Stage 1/2, Registered Report with Existing Data, Commentary), and flags the journal's tight word format and open-science requirements. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill psci-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.
