Use when deciding which restat-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

# REStat Workflow Router (restat-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It tells you **which restat-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *The Review of Economics and Statistics* (REStat) — the venerable MIT Press journal **edited at the Harvard Kennedy School** (founded 1917/1919; current title since 1948). REStat publishes **applied economics and applied econometrics**: it rewards **credible causal identification, careful measurement, and quantitative evidence** across labor, public, development, trade, IO, health, environment, urban, and macro-empirics. It is **empirical-first** — a clean research design or a measurement advance is the contribution; theory interprets, it does not lead. Operational tells that you are at REStat and not a sibling: REStat values **measurement and applied econometrics**, not pure methods development (that is *J. Econometrics*); it is **broad applied econ**, wider than a field journal but more specialized than AER. Submission is via **Editorial Express** with a nonrefundable **submission fee** (US$125; source map refreshed 2026-06-20); review is editor-managed peer review; accepted empirical papers must deposit data and cod

What does the restat-workflow skill do?
Use when deciding which restat-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill restat-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.
