wp-workflow
Use as the entry point for any World Politics manuscript. Routes to the right World Politics sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether you are writing a research article or a review article. World Politics is a comparative-politics + international-relations specialist, so the router's first job is to confirm the question travels across cases. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

# World Politics Workflow Router (wp-workflow) The orchestrator for a World Politics submission. Figure out the stage and the **article type**, then send the user to the matching skill. World Politics publishes scholarship in **comparative politics and international relations** — it is a *specialist* in that joint domain, not a discipline-wide generalist (unlike APSR/AJPS/JOP) and not IR-only. The router's first job is to confirm the question **travels across cases or systems** and sits inside the journal's scope. ## When to trigger - Starting a new World Politics paper and unsure where to begin - Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next - Deciding between a **research article** and a **review article** - Returning with a decision letter (route to `wp-rebuttal`) ## First question: which article type, and is it in scope? | Situation | Type | Route to | |-----------|------|----------| | Original study posing a substantive comparative/IR question | **Research article** (≤ 12,500 words) | normal pipeline below | | Synthesis of thematically related books that reframes a field's agenda | **Review article** (usually commissioned; still triple-blind) | `wp-literature-positioning` +

What does the wp-workflow skill do?
Use as the entry point for any World Politics manuscript. Routes to the right World Politics sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether you are writing a research article or a review article. World Politics is a comparative-politics + international-relations specialist, so the router's first job is to confirm the question travels across cases. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill wp-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.
