At a glance

A skill your agent uses when starting or navigating any American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript as the entry point.

  • Navigating any American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript as the entry point
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, First questions: subfield and…, Routing map (stage → skill) and Default order, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Amanthro Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or navigating any American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right AA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and section type (Research Article, Vital Topics Forum, World/Public/Multimodal Anthropologies, Review Essay). 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 American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript as the entry point

Example prompts

  • “/amanthro-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

Amanthro Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 466 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
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.

AA Workflow Router (amanthro-workflow)

The orchestrator for an American Anthropologist submission. Figure out the stage, the subfield, and the section type, then send the user to the matching skill. AA is the four-field AAA flagship — the router's first job is to make sure the work reads as anthropology that speaks across subfields, with reflexivity and an ethics of care built in from the start, not bolted on.

When to trigger

  • Starting a new AA paper and unsure where to begin
  • Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
  • Deciding which section fits (full Research Article vs. a shorter forum/commentary)
  • Returning with a decision letter (route to amanthro-rebuttal)

First questions: subfield and section

SituationSectionRoute to
Full original study, broad anthropological significanceResearch Article (≤ 8,000 words)normal pipeline below

AA spans four fields: sociocultural, archaeology, biological/physical, linguistic, plus reflexive/public anthropology. The methods and the transparency/ethics demands differ by subfield — name yours before routing (see amanthro-research-design).

Routing map (stage → skill)

text
Idea / fit / section?            → amanthro-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field?  → amanthro-literature-positioning
What's the conceptual argument?  → amanthro-theory-building
Is the fieldwork/design sound?   → amanthro-research-design
Is the analysis/inference sound? → amanthro-data-analysis
Are ethnographic exhibits clear? → amanthro-tables-figures
Does it read across the fields?  → amanthro-writing-style
Ethics, consent, accountability? → amanthro-transparency-and-data
How will it be judged?           → amanthro-review-process
Ready to submit?                 → amanthro-submission
Got an R&R / decision?           → amanthro-rebuttal

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 ethnographic papers loop theory ↔ fieldwork ↔ interpretation many times, and the ethics-and-accountability check (amanthro-transparency-and-data) should run early and again before submission — consent and community accountability are designed in, not added at the end.

Four-field routing check

Before selecting the next skill, force a one-minute AA fit check:

CheckPass conditionRoute if weak
ReachA reader in another subfield (e.g., an archaeologist reading a linguistic paper) can state why it matters to anthropology.amanthro-topic-selection
Mode honestyThe method (ethnographic, archival, material, lab, computational) is defended in its own idiom, not forced into a quantitative template.amanthro-research-design
ReflexivityPositionality and the author's relationship to the field/community are made explicit.amanthro-theory-building
Ethics of careConsent, anonymization, community accountability, and heritage/repatriation obligations have an explicit plan.amanthro-transparency-and-data

If the paper fails the reach check, do not route to writing-style — it needs a fit or theory repair, because AA reviewers reject technically clean subfield papers that never become anthropological claims.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating AA like a single-subfield outlet — the contribution should reach four-field anthropology
  • Forcing ethnographic/interpretive work into a hypothesis-test template (AA judges each mode on its own terms)
  • Confusing AA with its AAA siblings: it is not American Ethnologist (sociocultural) or Cultural Anthropology, and not Current Anthropology with its CA✩ comment format
  • Deferring ethics, consent, and anonymization to the end (they are design decisions)

Output format

【Stage】idea / positioning / theory / design / analysis / exhibits / writing / ethics / review / submit / rebut
【Subfield】sociocultural / archaeology / biological / linguistic / reflexive-public
【Section】Research Article / Vital Topics Forum / World / Public / Multimodal / Review Essay
