At a glance

A skill your agent uses when starting or navigating any Annals of the American Association of Geographers (Annals of the AAG) manuscript and you need the entry point.

  • Navigating any Annals of the American Association of Geographers (Annals of the AAG) manuscript and you need the entry point
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, First question: which area?, Article type (caps differ —… and Routing map (stage → skill), plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Aaag Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or navigating any Annals of the American Association of Geographers (Annals of the AAG) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which of the journal's four areas (plus the cross-disciplinary track) the paper targets. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Navigating any Annals of the American Association of Geographers (Annals of the AAG) manuscript and you need the entry point

Example prompts

  • “/aaag-workflow”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aaag Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 489 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when starting or navigating any Annals of the American Association of Geographers (Annals of the AAG) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which of the journal's four areas (plus the cross-disciplinary track) the paper targets. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

Annals of the AAG Workflow Router (aaag-workflow)

The orchestrator for an Annals submission. Figure out the stage and the area, then send the user to the matching skill. The Annals is the broad four-area flagship of the discipline — the router's first job is to make the paper legible as geography, not just as a domain study that happens to use maps or coordinates.

When to trigger

  • Starting a new Annals paper and unsure where to begin
  • Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
  • Deciding which of the four areas (or the cross-disciplinary/General Geography track) the paper targets
  • Choosing the article type (Article, Forum, Commentary) — they have different caps
  • Returning with a decision letter (route to aaag-rebuttal)

First question: which area?

The Annals routes manuscripts to a subject editor by area; the area you declare shapes the reviewers and the bar. Pick the closest, or General Geography if the contribution is discipline-wide.

Your workAreaWatch for
Spatial analysis, GIScience, modeling, geocomputationGeographic Methodsmethod must advance geographic inference, not just apply a tool
Social/cultural/economic/political/urban geography, often qualitativeHuman Geographyengage geographic theory; not a sociology paper with a map
Coupled human-environment systems, political ecology, hazards, land changeNature and Societyboth sides (nature and society) must be theorized
Geomorphology, biogeography, climatology, remote sensing of the environmentPhysical Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciencesrigor of an earth-science venue + geographic framing
Contribution spans areas / is discipline-wideGeneral Geography (cross-disciplinary)say why all geographers should care

Default order

topic-selection → literature-positioning → theory-building → research-design → data-analysis → tables-figures → writing-style → transparency-and-data → review-process → submission → rebuttal

Iterate: most papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis several times before writing-style.

Geography fit check (run before routing onward)

CheckPass conditionRoute if weak
Geographic-nessThe space/place/scale/spatial-process is constitutive of the argument, not decorative.aaag-topic-selection
AreaThe paper clearly targets one of the four areas (or General Geography).area table above
Method on own termsQuantitative/spatial, GIScience, remote-sensing, or qualitative work is defended in its own tradition.aaag-research-design
Spatial-data integrityProjections, sources, and geoprivacy/human-subjects ethics have a plan.aaag-transparency-and-data

If "geographic-ness" fails — the paper would be unchanged if you deleted the geography — do not route to writing-style; it needs a theory/fit repair (aaag-topic-selection).

Anti-patterns

  • Treating the Annals like a domain journal that "also takes maps" — the geography must be load-bearing
  • Forcing a quantitative-spatial template onto qualitative human geography (each area is judged on its own terms)
  • Picking the wrong area editor (a Nature-Society paper sent as pure Physical, or vice versa)
  • Sending a 14,000-word draft to a journal that caps everything (incl. captions/notes) at 11,000
