psychbull-workflow
Use as the entry point for any Psychological Bulletin manuscript. Routes to the right psychbull sub-skill based on where you are in the research-synthesis lifecycle and which synthesis type (meta-analysis, systematic review, meta-review/meta-synthesis, qualitative review) fits. Psychological Bulletin publishes syntheses, not original studies — it dispatches; it does not draft content.

# Psychological Bulletin Workflow Router (psychbull-workflow) The orchestrator for a Psychological Bulletin submission. Figure out the stage and the **synthesis type**, then send the user to the matching skill. Psychological Bulletin publishes **research syntheses — systematic reviews and meta-analyses — not original primary studies**, so the router's first job is to confirm the project is a *synthesis of existing work*, not a new experiment or pure theory. ## When to trigger - Starting a new Psychological Bulletin review/meta-analysis and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding which **synthesis type** fits (meta-analysis vs. systematic vs. qualitative review) - Returning with a decision letter (route to `psychbull-rebuttal`) ## First question: is this even a Bulletin paper, and which type? | Situation | Synthesis type | Route to | |-----------|----------------|----------| | Many comparable studies with extractable effect sizes | **Meta-analysis** | full pipeline below | | Large literature, appraisal needed but pooling uncertain | **Systematic review** (PRISMA) | pipeline, lighter on `meta-analysis-methods` | | Synthesizing across prior r

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill psychbull-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.
