What it does

Arecon Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which arecon- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing an invited review article from topic through revision for an Annual Review of Economics (ARE) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science. 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

  • Deciding which arecon- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing an invited review article from topic through revision for an Annual Review of Economics (ARE) manuscript

Example prompts

  • “/arecon-workflow”

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. arecon-topic-selection — confirm the field is ARE-scale (mature, important, needs synthesis)
  2. arecon-proposal-framing — get the topic to the Editorial Committee / shape the accepted invitation
  3. arecon-literature-synthesis — gather and read the literature systematically
  4. arecon-organizing-framework — impose the analytical spine
  5. arecon-evidence-standards — appraise primary-study credibility; balance competing views
  6. arecon-tables-figures — summary tables and the conceptual figure
  7. arecon-writing-style — the authoritative-yet-accessible ARE voice (abstract + intro last)
  8. arecon-editor-strategy — scope and the Committee/production relationship
  9. arecon-submission — Annual Reviews delivery preflight
  10. arecon-review-process — what the Committee review cycle looks like
  11. arecon-revision — after the editor/referee letter

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

Arecon Workflow loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 728 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

ARE Workflow Router (arecon-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which arecon- skill to use at the current stage* of an invited review article aimed at the Annual Review of Economics (ARE) — the Annual Reviews (nonprofit) survey series for economics, founded 2009, published as an annual volume with a high impact factor (检索于 2026-06;11.4 in 2024, ~5th of 617 econ journals;以官网为准). ARE does not publish original empirical research. It publishes authoritative, accessible review articles that synthesize a field for specialists and adjacent economists. So the lifecycle is not "design → identify → estimate → defend"; it is scope a synthesis-worthy field → secure the invitation → read the whole literature → impose an organizing framework → appraise the evidence fairly → land the ARE voice → clear the Annual Reviews production process → revise.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as ARE and the artefact as an invited review, not a primary-research paper. Operational tells that you are at ARE and not a sibling: the work reviews other people's results rather than reporting its own; unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted — the Editorial Committee commissions topics and authors (you can suggest a topic, but you cannot self-submit a finished paper the way you would to a journal) (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准); there is no identification strategy and no replication package of your own data (you appraise the studies you cover); the contribution is an analytical map of a field, not a new estimate. If the user actually has original results, they want a primary-research journal (AER, QE, an AEJ), not ARE — say so.

When to trigger

  • The user asks "what should I do next?" on an invited review
  • A review draft reads like an annotated bibliography and needs a spine
  • Work is ping-ponging between coverage, framing, balance, and the invitation pitch
  • An ARE editor/referee letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode

Default order

  1. arecon-topic-selection — confirm the field is ARE-scale (mature, important, needs synthesis)
  2. arecon-proposal-framing — get the topic to the Editorial Committee / shape the accepted invitation
  3. arecon-literature-synthesis — gather and read the literature systematically
  4. arecon-organizing-framework — impose the analytical spine
  5. arecon-evidence-standards — appraise primary-study credibility; balance competing views
  6. arecon-tables-figures — summary tables and the conceptual figure
  7. arecon-writing-style — the authoritative-yet-accessible ARE voice (abstract + intro last)
  8. arecon-editor-strategy — scope and the Committee/production relationship
  9. arecon-submission — Annual Reviews delivery preflight
  10. arecon-review-process — what the Committee review cycle looks like
  11. arecon-revision — after the editor/referee letter

arecon-writing-style is a late-stage polish; do not rewrite the intro before the organizing framework and evidence appraisal settle. The invitation comes early — ARE is commissioning-first, so arecon-proposal-framing precedes the heavy reading.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating ARE as a journal you submit to cold — it is invitation-driven; unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准)
  • Treating the review as an annotated bibliography (no framework) — the cardinal review-article failure
  • Using the author's own line of work as the review's center of gravity (self-promotion)
  • Importing primary-research instincts: there is no "identification" or "replication package" of your own — you appraise others' designs
  • Confusing ARE with JEL (the AEA's in-depth survey of record, proposal/full-paper intake) or JEP (shorter, non-technical, broad audience), or with a Handbook chapter

Routing by review archetype

A "review" is not one thing; the bottleneck differs by type. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.

ArchetypeLikely first bottleneckEnter at
field-defining synthesis (broad subfield)scope is enormous; needs a taxonomyarecon-organizing-framework
methods/tool review (an estimator or modeling family)accessibility to non-specialists; worked intuitionarecon-writing-style
empirical-evidence stocktake (what is the consensus?)weighing conflicting results by credibilityarecon-evidence-standards
